BSI Flex 1888 is part of our Connected and Automated Mobility (CAM) Standards programme, which supports the safe deployment of self-driving vehicles. It gives guidance for selecting the minimal risk manoeuvres (MRMs) and minimal risk conditions (MRCs) that automated vehicles (AVs) can achieve when the automated driving system (ADS) is degraded or fails, or when other events demand.
The standard provides a framework for consideration of the risks involved in AV manoeuvres and those related to the conditions in the environment surrounding the vehicle, with the objective of minimizing the overall risk and achieving the safest possible outcome.
It includes guidance on:
Functionality or manoeuvres beyond the normal expected behaviour of an ADS.
The new minimal risk event (MRX) concept, combining MRM, MRC and MRX trigger.
Categorizing MRMs and MRCs by the risks involved.
Selecting the lowest overall risk.
This BSI Flex supports organizations developing, operating, regulating, and certifying ADSs.
It might also be of use to road authorities, local authorities, emergency services, testbeds, vehicle agencies, and insurers.

The CAM Standards programme
We're leading a standards programme, supported by the Centre for Connected and Autonomous Vehicles (CCAV), to support and accelerate the safe and secure development, trialling, testing and deployment of automated mobility.
