FUURAA thesis

Safe separation is a property of the sensing-and-stopping system in its installed geometry.

Engineering map

Turn the title into engineering objects that can be observed, measured and reviewed.

Each layer states the boundary to establish and the evidence needed for the next decision.

01

Detection coverage

Map fields of view, occlusion, resolution, latency and diagnostic coverage.

02

Stopping performance

Measure reaction and stopping time across load, speed, pose and maintenance condition.

03

Human approach

Include realistic direction, posture, reach, access points and simultaneous traffic.

Verification questions

Write the questions first, then decide whether a demo, test, pilot or operating record can answer them.

Each question needs an object, conditions, denominator, threshold and accountable decision owner.

  1. 01

    Which approach paths can evade or delay detection?

  2. 02

    What worst-case stop time was measured?

  3. 03

    How are occlusion and sensor faults handled?

  4. 04

    Does reduced speed still satisfy the required separation?

Evidence to preserve

Enable the next reader to reconstruct conditions, results, failures and the decision.

A conclusion alone loses reviewability; raw records, configuration and exclusions matter too.

  1. 01

    Evidence package 1

    Installed sensing coverage and occlusion map

  2. 02

    Evidence package 2

    Worst-case reaction and stopping measurements

  3. 03

    Evidence package 3

    Approach-path challenge tests including faults

Scope boundary

State what this evidence still cannot be generalised to.
