Operational Safety Management

Safety and risk management for autonomous vehicles and operational areas

Safety management for autonomous driving - from concept to implementation

Autonomous driving requires comprehensive safety management that takes both technical and operational risks into account. How can it be ensured that autonomous vehicles operate safely at all times and fulfil regulatory requirements?  

DiMOS offers a comprehensive solution for the operational safety management of autonomous vehicles and operating areas. Our expertise enables seamless risk assessment, safety monitoring and compliance with legal requirements in accordance with §AFGBV, ISO 26262 and other relevant standards.

Safety in autonomous driving

Autonomous vehicles must function reliably in a wide variety of scenarios while also fulfilling strict safety requirements.

  • Regulatory requirements: Compliance with regulatory requirements such as §AFGBV, ISO 26262 and GDPR
  • Technical risks: Faulty sensors, communication disruptions, degradation of satellite navigation or unforeseeable environmental influences
  • Operational risks: collisions, unforeseeable behaviour of other road users or system failures
  • Liability and traceability: documentation of safety-critical decisions to avoid legal risks


DiMOS ensures that all safety-critical processes for autonomous vehicles are documented.

Comprehensive Safety Management for autonomous mobility

Our approach combines technical safety, operational risk analysis and continuous monitoring to ensure maximum operational safety.

How does our safety management work?

DiMOS relies on a combination of real-time monitoring, AI-supported data analysis and preventive safety measures.

1. Identification and assessment of safety risk

• Analysis of operating environment (OD) and the autonomous systems (ODD)
• Validation of safety-critical systems and sensor technology
• Simulation and modelling of potential system states

2. Safety monitoring and response mechanisms

• Real-time monitoring of all vehicles and operating areas
• Automated fault detection and risk analyses
• Immediate response measures for safety-critical systems

3. Documentation and regulatory protection

• Seamless tracking of safety-critical decisions
• Creation of compliance reports for authorities and operators
• Continuous optimisation of the security architecture

Applications and areas of use

Our solution for operational safety management is used in the following areas:

  • Autonomous logistics and hub-to-hub transport
  • Legally compliant monitoring of defined operating areas
  • Risk assessment and monitoring of autonomous test fields
  • Real-time safety monitoring for driverless mobility concepts

An operator of autonomous lorries is planning to deploy them on a hub-to-hub corridor. DiMOS supports the risk assessment, develops a customised safety concept and ensures that all safety-relevant processes are adhered to with real-time monitoring.

Why DiMOS? - Legal certainty and innovation in one solution

Q & A

How does operational safety management differ from traditional vehicle safety concepts?
Unlike purely technical vehicle safety concepts, operational safety management covers the entire operational scope – including interactions with infrastructure, behavior of other road users, environmental factors, or communication failures. DiMOS combines system validation, environmental analysis, and continuous risk monitoring into a holistic safety approach for real-world operations.
What risks does DiMOS identify during ongoing operations, and how are they addressed?
We monitor sensor errors, GPS degradation, network issues, unpredictable behavior of other road users, and deviations in autonomous system protocols, among others. When a safety-critical event is detected, automated protocols are triggered – e.g., initiating stops, transferring control to a central station, or generating documented error reports for later analysis. All incidents are contextualized and stored with full traceability.
How does the system ensure compliance with AFGBV, ISO 26262, ISO 21434, and GDPR?
DiMOS documents all safety-relevant system states and decisions in real time, pseudonymized and GDPR-compliant. Our risk analyses adhere to ISO 26262 and 21434 standards, while the overall setup is specifically designed to meet AFGBV regulatory requirements. Authority-compliant reports and full traceability are included.
What exactly does "real-time safety monitoring" entail – and what data is used?
Our solution continuously analyzes data from vehicles, infrastructure, and the environment – e.g., sensor data, vehicle behavior, positional information, communication status, and traffic events. Using AI, potential risks are identified before they escalate into safety-critical situations. Technical supervision can intervene at any time or is automatically alerted.
