This PAS provides requirements for the minimum hierarchical taxonomy for specifying an Operational Design Domain (ODD) to enable the safe deployment of an automated driving system (ADS). The ODD comprises the static and dynamic attributes within which an ADS is designed to function safely.

This PAS is applicable to Level 3 and Level 4 ADS.

NOTE 1 For more information on Level 3 and Level 4 ADS see SAE J3016:2018.

NOTE 2 This PAS may also be relevant for Level 1 and Level 2 ADS.

This PAS is intended for trialling organizations developing safety cases for automated vehicle trials and testing, manufacturers and developers of Level 3 and Level 4 ADS and suppliers of components and subcomponents.

This PAS is also of interest to insurers, regulators, service providers, and national, local and regional government to enable them to understand possible ADS deployments and capabilities.

This PAS does not cover:

• the basic test procedures for attributes of the ODD;

• the monitoring requirements of the ODD attributes; and

• the format of the ODD definition.
