The relevance of Operational Design Domain (ODD) and Operational Envelope (OE) in the design definition, engineering implementation and verification and validation.
Maritime Autonomous Surface Ships (MASS) safety hinges on clearly defined operational boundaries (ODD & OE) and robust assurance for complex autonomous systems.
This new research refines the "Operational Envelope" for Maritime Autonomous Surface Ships (MAAS), boosting safety, regulation, and commercial trust.
Our follow-up research on Maritime Autonomous Surface Ships (MASS) highlights the critical role of the Operational Design Domain (ODD) in defining the specific environmental, geographical, and operational conditions under which MASS can safely operate. It emphasises the need for rigorous assurance processes to manage the heightened software complexity and autonomous decision-making challenges inherent in MASS.
The research also underscores the importance of a well-defined Operational Envelope (OE), which extends the ODD by incorporating system-level configurations, state transitions, and human-automation task allocation. By addressing the ambiguities and proposing a refined OE framework, the report aims to enhance safety, regulatory compliance, and stakeholder confidence in the commercial viability of MASS.
