Abstract

An MRM planning system for supporting planning of a minimal risk maneuver, MRM, of an Automated Driving System. The system determines a remaining distance to an upcoming operational design domain, ODD, exit at which an ODD defined for the autonomous driving mode is planned to end. The system further assesses, when the remaining distance is shorter than a predeterminable distance, data associated with a stretch of road leading up to the ODD exit. The system identifies based on the assessment of the data, a favourable region along the stretch of road for potentially bringing the vehicle to a stop deemed safe subsequent a potential MRM being triggered. The system determines a timing at which to initiate an autonomous driving mode DDT termination procedure at which to provide a handover request prompting an occupant of the vehicle to take over the DDT.
