Authorisation processes for autonomous driving

The introduction of highly automated and autonomous vehicles into regular traffic is associated with high regulatory requirements.

  • Complex authorisation procedures: Operational authorisations in accordance with §AFGBV require detailed proof of safety.
  • Technical supervision necessary: Autonomous vehicles may only be operated in defined operating areas with appropriate monitoring.
  • Liability and safety issues: Operators must prove that vehicles can be operated safely and in compliance with regulations at all times.

DiMOS offers a comprehensive solution to support and implement the authorisation phase and commissioning of suitable operating areas for autonomous vehicles as well as the required technical supervision.

Q & A

What specific evidence is required for approval of an operational area under §AFGBV?
For approval, documents such as a security concept, operational area description, risk assessment, and a technical supervision concept must be submitted, among others. DiMOS supports you in creating all relevant documentation — including alignment with applicable standards like ISO 26262 and 21434 — and, upon request, coordinates communication with the approval authority.
How does DiMOS ensure technical supervision during ongoing operations – which technologies are used here?
Our technical supervision is based on a data-driven monitoring system that analyzes real-time vehicle data. This includes AI-supported evaluations, predefined rule violation detection, and continuous safety assessments. All incidents are automatically documented and made available for authorities and internal audits at any time.
How flexible is the DiMOS solution if the operational area or vehicle fleet changes?
Our solution is modular. Changes to routes, operating hours, or vehicle types can be seamlessly integrated into the existing approval framework. We dynamically adapt documentation and technical supervision mechanisms and handle subsequent notifications or reapplications with authorities.
Who bears responsibility in the event of a safety-related incident – and how does DiMOS support in such situations?
The operator remains responsible. However, DiMOS provides court-compliant documentation and automated incident reports. In the event of an incident, we deliver a traceable analysis — including timestamps, contextual data, and system behavior — for internal review or submission to authorities and insurers.
