Edward Schwalb
consultant
Dr Schwalb has received his PhD in artificial intelligence from University of California Irvine. He has more than 20 years of experience in implementing intelligent systems for a wide range of industries, including defense, consumer electronics, financial, healthcare and engineering. He has authored a technical book, published in major journals and edited technical standards, and is credited with more than a dozen patents. At MSC software, he was an architect and member of a product team winning more than a dozen awards in three years. At ASAM he was a key contributor to the OpenODD approach, specifically focused on the specification of uncertainty and acceptable risk. At Volkswagen Commercial Vehicles, he supports the development of tooling for Operational Design Domain specification and validation. His passion is the development of methods to engineer inherently safe drivers, through quantification and validation of safety.
Presentation
Workshop – Specifying an ODD
Participants will learn how to specify the ODD in a machine readable and human interpretable fashion. Together, we will learn how to analyse the real-world conditions and how to exclude unsuitable ones. We will modularise the specification to enable assembling a single joint specification from components provided by numerous teams and experts. We will understand which use-cases and data are required to support ODD evaluation, including discussion of the various technologies and data sources involved. Finally, we will understand how to utilize these definitions in simulation toolchains to determine the impact of specific capabilities.
