Popis: The complex functional structure of driverless vehicles induces a multitude of potential malfunctions. Established approaches for a systematic hazard identification generate individual potentially hazardous scenarios for each identified malfunction. This leads to inefficiencies in a purely expert-based hazard analysis process, as each of the many scenarios has to be examined individually. In this contribution, we propose an adaptation of the strategy for hazard identification for the development of automated vehicles. Instead of focusing on malfunctions, we base our process on deviations from desired vehicle behavior in selected operational scenarios analyzed in the concept phase. By evaluating externally observable deviations from a desired behavior, we encapsulate individual malfunctions and reduce the amount of generated potentially hazardous scenarios. After introducing our hazard identification strategy, we illustrate its application on one of the operational scenarios used in the research project UNICAR$agil$.
