Abstract

This topic has been submitted as a request for the development of a DIN SPEC according to the PAS procedure. DIN SPECs are developed within DIN-SPEC-consortiums set up on a temporary basis. In the attached business plan you will find detailed information on the planned project as well as concrete time limits for commenting on the business plan (four-week commentary period) and for registering for the kick-off. This document defines a taxonomy for the Operational Design Domain (ODD) for fully automated rail vehicles (automated driving systems in rail), which is also based on the description of other domains (e.g. automotive). This SPEC shows the extent to which common concepts or parts of the taxonomy description can be modularized or made reusable. It covers important operating conditions for railway-specific AI applications such as "Automated Train Operation", e.g. environmental or track conditions. This SPEC creates the basis for describing operating conditions (ODD) of AI-based railroad applications such as automated driving systems in a standardized and sufficient manner. However, this document does not provide specific information on concrete ODD descriptions for individual routes and the assessment of such an ODD system. This document does not specify requirements for an ODD necessary for safety functions and health protection, such as for the detection of persons in a hazardous area. This also applies to so-called assistance systems. This SPEC is not intended to be used for general automated systems. This document is intended for "users", "manufacturers", "operators", "testers" and "developers" in the described field.
