Abstract

Ensuring an automated fallback strategy in response to malfunctions during the execution of the Dynamic Driving Task (DDT) is imperative for Level 4 autonomous driving systems. While Triple Modular Redundancy (TMR) represents a prominent Fail-Operational structure, its practical application to multiple systems is constrained by the substantial increase in costs. In this paper, we propose a pragmatic Fail-Operational safety concept utilizing on-board camera sensors and the Vehicle-to-Infrastructure (V2I) communication module, known as the On-Board Unit (OBU), to provide traffic signal information within the vehicle. The viability of the designed safety concept is validated through error injection simulations. This approach addresses the practical limitations associated with applying Fail-Operational functionality to numerous systems due to the considerable cost escalation. Leveraging camera sensors and V2I communication modules presents a practical and cost-effective solution for maintaining operational safety in Level 4 autonomous driving systems, particularly when responding to malfunctions in the DDT.
