Safety Design Principles for Autonomous Vehicles: From Sensor Layout to Decision-Making Algorithms

Abstract

With the rapid development of autonomous driving technology, ensuring the safety of autonomous vehicles has become a focal point of attention in both the industry and academia. This paper delves into the safety design principles of autonomous vehicles, from sensor layout to decision-making algorithms, aiming to provide a comprehensive analysis and guidance for the safety performance of autonomous vehicles. The article begins by introducing the basic composition and technical requirements of autonomous vehicles, then elaborates on the safety design principles of key technologies such as sensor layout, data fusion, and decision-making algorithms, and demonstrates the practical application of these principles through case studies. Finally, this paper proposes strategies for implementing safety design principles and looks forward to the future development direction of autonomous vehicle safety design.
