Springer just published the latest edition of Road Vehicle Automation, part of their Lecture Notes in Mobility book series. It gathers original peer-reviewed works based on contributions to the plenary and breakout sessions of the Automated Road Transportation Symposium (ARTS 2023), held on July 9-13, 2023, in San Francisco, CA. 

Our CTO Erik Antonsson has written one of the chapters, titled Measuring Automated Vehicle Safety:

‍

Measuring the safety of the operation and behavior of automated vehicles in traffic requires one or more leading indicators, based on non-collision interactions, to produce a quantitative score reflecting the riskiness or safeness of the behavior of vehicles in traffic. Such measurements are critical to the deployment and public acceptance of automated mobility systems.

A collision hazard measure with the essential characteristics to provide an effective measurement of safety that will be useful to AV developers, traffic infrastructure developers and managers, regulators, and the public is presented here. This collision hazard measure (SHM) is a kinematic measure that overcomes the limitations of existing measures, and provides an independent leading quantitative measurement of safety.
