The SUNRISE Safety Assurance Framework (SAF) is a harmonized structure of processes, procedures and tools allowing its users to determine whether a CCAM system is safe enough for public road introduction and deployment. The SAF is based on the multi-pillar approach from UNECE’s New Assessment/Test Method for Automated Driving (NATM). The SAF includes an audit of the safety assessment process, the safety management system as followed by the CCAM manufacturer, and the used test methods and test tools. The framework adopts a scenario-based approach, where tests (ranging from virtual to physical testing) are based on scenarios taking into account the CCAM system’s Operational Design Domain (ODD) for assessing the safety of the system. Additionally, it provides procedures to monitor that the CCAM system’s safety is maintained during it’s lifecycle. The scenarios that feed into the SAF are knowledge based and/or data driven.
