Operational domain definition
Operational domain means the operating conditions which a vehicle can reasonably be expected to encounter when in automated mode. These conditions will be established by the VMAD scenario database.This is a tricky sentence, the amount of reasonably expected conditions is much broader than what VMAD will consider for the scenario database. The proposal is to skip the second sentence and also the word reasonably in the first sentence. The operational domain is whatever and wherever is possible in practice for a vehicle in automated mode. Depending on the level of automation, the vehicle has to deal with the situation and/or involve the driver in an acceptable manner
Examples of Operational domain in a sentence
