Using Scenarios in Safety Validation of Automated Systems

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Validation and Verification of Automated Systems

Abstract

Automated systems are developed to successfully handle each situation that occurs while the system is in operation. This chapter discusses definitions of scenarios and the usage of scenarios for various application domains. It proposes a harmonized definition of scenario class.
