Abstract

Autonomous driving is a widely discussed field of research with still growing interest. In addition to a lot of technical, legal and social questions to be solved, an immense challenge still remains in mastering the complexity of the resulting system which would eventually replace the driver. A supporting tool for developing complex systems is given by the functional system architecture, which describes the system on an abstract level independent of concrete technical solutions. Functional system architectures published in the context of autonomous driving do not cover all necessary functional requirements. However, they focus on different sub-aspects and functional mechanisms within this context.

Our functional system architecture, which has been developed in the research project Stadtpilot at the Technische Universität Braunschweig, focuses on systematization and a combination of localization- and perception-driven approaches into one single well-structured functional system architecture. It has been developed in a top-down approach based on a formulation of the functional requirements of an autonomous on-road motor vehicle, in the sense of a modular building block system. It covers the aspects of localization, environmental and self-perception, mission accomplishment, usage of map data and communication, and the integration of the human being as a passenger and as another traffic participant in the close surroundings of the autonomous vehicle.

Referring to our functional system architecture, we discuss some basic mechanisms of autonomous driving in the following article, which become transparent due to the architecture’s basic structure. Additionally, we discuss where current advanced driver assistance systems are located within this architecture. This makes the big efforts which still have to be made to fulfill the necessary functional requirements regarding an autonomous vehicle driving safely in public road traffic more transparent.
