Project Scope

An Operation Design Domain definition (ODD) shall be valid throughout the whole vehicle’s lifetime. The definition of an ODD is part of the safety concept of a vehicle. Depending on the current development step different information needs to be derived from such an overall ODD.
ASAM OpenODD focuses on a machine-readable format. The ODD must be represented so it can easily be used within Simulation and other machine processed environments. The content of ASAM OpenODD will be derived from any abstract ODD, providing the information in a usable manner. For the purpose of using this ODD description for simulations and post-processing the format must fulfill the following requirements:

• Searchable
• Exchangeable
• Extensible
• Machine readable
• Measurable and verifiable
• Readability is important: Format is readable – but main intent is for computer processing (with structure and grammar). ISO 34503 is intented use for human users (structured natural language).

In the scenario based testing workflow ASAM OpenODD will play a very important role supporting the test description, defining the boundaries of what to test and achieving a good test coverage of the operational design domain and its borders.
