Workshop – Specifying an ODD
28 Aug 2025
Room 2
Developments in ODDs and scenarios, simulation, validation and in-the-loop testing
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.
This workshop will be presented by Edward Schwalb, an expert consultant who supports the development of tooling for Operational Design Domain specification and validation at VW Commerical Vehicles. He will be supported by a team of experts: Iskra Gasparic from AVL, Chris Manning and Michael Peperhowe from dSPACE, and Marius Dupuis from ASAM
