The standards that will be used for creating expectations and safe assumptions are split into two subjects: Autonomous Driving and Humanitarian Mine Detection. As for autonomous driving, there are two main standards (from two different organizations) that we will be basing our designs off of, the first is SAE J3016: Levels of Driving Automation. This SAE standard standardizes various degrees of autonomous vehicles according to the requirement for human intervention and the dependability of its autonomous system. The second standard is from the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) and it is IEEE 2846. This IEEE standard outlines a minimal set of assumptions for the development of safety-related models for automated driving systems that must be taken into account when predicting the behavior of other road users and objects.
Standards that we plan to utilize regarding humanitarian mine detection processes are outlined by the International Mine Action Standards (IMAS) that are created and developed by the United Nations Mine Action Service (UNMAS) assisted by Geneva International Centre for Humanitarian Demining (GICHD). There are two IMAS standards that we will be referencing and using throughout our design testing. The first IMAS standard we are referencing is IMAS 01.10 which is a "Guide for the application and development of IMAS" to be able to gain a deeper understanding of standards that used to create and operate demining efforts by humanitarian groups. The second document that we will be using is the IMAS 03.40 (CW07) which outline "Test and Evaluation Protocol" for metal detectors that will be used by humanitarian groups for demining.
SAE J3016
Standardize different levels of autonomous vehicles based on the need for human intervention and system reliability
Using the SAE Levels of Driving Automation, we will utilize this to create concrete standards and expectations for the autonomous abilities of our robot. Our robot will be Level 4 automation, meaning that if can safely operate without human input in predefined modes and it is responsible for all tasks like navigation and object avoidance
IEEE 2846
Defines a minimum set of assumptions regarding reasonably foreseeable behaviors of other road users that shall be considered in the development of safety-related models for automated driving systems (ADS)
Using IEE 2846, we can set expectations as to what needs to be achieved successfully during our testing. This standard was created for road driving vehicles; however, it can still be utilized to make reasonable assumptions of foreseeable behaviors that our robot should exhibit during operation in minefields.
IMAS 01.10
Provides a suitable medium for informing the mine action community of existing international regulations, conventions, treaties and standards which impact on mine action, particularly those referring to basic human rights, clearance requirements, hazard marking and general safety issues.
IMAS is an outline that represents international good practice and provides a guiding framework for circumstances where national mine action standards are incomplete or not yet in
place. In this document, we are able to learn more about the structure and requirements for humanitarian groups and other standards that have been created in regard to demining. Other standards from organizations such as International Organization for Standardization (ISO) are reviewed and included.
IMAS 03.40 (CW07)
Provides guidelines, principles and procedures for the testing and evaluation of metal detectors
IMAS 03.40 (CW07) outlines tests of detection capability for targets in air and in soil that are designed to provide comparative results of the performance of metal detectors and are conducted under controlled conditions. These tests will allow us to evaluate and measure the influence of various factors, such as terrain conditions.
