• Abstract: [Context and motivation] For automated driving systems, the operational context needs to be known in order to state guarantees on performance and safety. The operational design domain (ODD) is an abstraction of the operational context, and its definition is an integral part of the system development process. [Question / problem] There are still major uncertainties in how to clearly define and document the operational context in a diverse and distributed development environment such as the automotive industry. This case study investigates the challenges with context definitions for the development of perception functions that use machine learning for automated driving. [Principal ideas/results] Based on qualitative analysis of data from semi-structured interviews, the case study shows that there is a lack of standardisation for context definitions across the industry, ambiguities in the processes that lead to deriving the ODD, missing documentation of assumptions about the operational context, and a lack of involvement of function developers in the context definition. [Contribution] The results outline challenges experienced by an automotive supplier company when defining the operational context for systems using machine learning. Furthermore, the study collected ideas for potential solutions from the perspective of practitioners.

  We decouple the task of context retrieval from the other components of the repository-level code editing pipelines. We conclude that while the reasoning helps to improve the precision of the gathered context, it still lacks the ability to identify its sufficiency.

This paper demonstrates to be a powerful tool for modeling and formalization of factors associated with criticality in the environment of automated vehicles. We elaborate on the modular approach, present a publicly available implementation, and evaluate the method by means of a large-scale drone data set of urban traffic scenarios.
