Since the publication of PAS 1883:2020 Operational Design Domain (ODD) Taxonomy for ADS – Specification, its content has informed the development of an international standard: BS ISO 34503:2023 Road Vehicles. Test scenarios for automated driving systems. Specification for operational design domain. As a result, we have updated PAS 1883 as a guidance document to support the implementation of BS ISO 34503 and further elaborate on the grammar, provide additional examples, and remove content superseded by the ISO.
PAS 1883:2025 is part of our Connected and Automated Mobility (CAM) Standards programme, which supports the safe deployment of self-driving vehicles.
This PAS provides practical guidance for developing operational design domain (ODD) descriptions for automated driving, in line with BS ISO 34503.
This PAS is intended for use by
This PAS might be of interest to insurers, regulators, service providers, and national, local and regional government to enable them to understand possible ADS deployments and capabilities.
