## 5 Evaluation of the Use of Assessment Templates
### Guided Assessment Plan  
Here, the assessment primarily focuses on positioning, V2X communication, and their interplay with cybersecurity. It leaves significant portions of object detection and event response without specific guidance. Integrating 5G communication into the ODD expands the evaluation of operational conditions. The ODD's boundaries are extended by incorporating 5G communication attributes to encompass connectivity considerations. This evaluation covers system-performance and safety scenarios like network congestion or communication disruptions. Including 5G communication attributes in the assessment process aids in identifying potential risks and challenges. It evaluates the system's capability to handle situations involving degraded connectivity, assesses the impact of communication delays on decision-making processes, and tests the system's resilience against potential cybersecurity threats targeting the 5G infrastructure. Figure 6: Potential ODD at Lindholmen. The geofenced route is denoted by green. Therefore, compared to existing standards like ISO 34503, which includes attributes such as vehicle-to-infrastructure (V2I) and 5G, we propose a refinement of operating conditions to focus on attributes like network coverage, latency, throughput, and predictability. These refined attributes are designed to serve as performance indicators. The assessment metrics and use-case-specific conditions were derived from the Safety Case for Autonomous Trucks (SCAT) project [43]. The control loop for a remotely assisted automated vehicle operates as a continuous process where the vehicle's sensors gather environmental and status data, which are transmitted to a remote operator. The operator issues control commands back to the vehicle. The vehicle then executes these commands, completing the loop. The real-time demands within this loop necessitate precise latency requirements. Ensuring comprehensive coverage using minimum throughput or bandwidth is vital for the safe control of remote operations and for enabling actionable minimal-risk manoeuvres. The guarantee of this minimum throughput holds utmost importance throughout the entire ODD. Maintaining high service availability is critical to pre-empting potential service congestion and counteracting inadequate coverage, especially in adverse weather conditions, emphasising the need for predictability. This comprehensive coverage requirement must be consistently met within the ODD in alignment with the communication-assessment template specified in Table 4.  
Furthermore, the Quality of Service (QoS) for bandwidth reservation involves allocating specific portions of the network capacity to certain applications or services to ensure consistent performance levels, especially for data throughput and latency. This ensures that essential services receive the bandwidth unaffected by network congestion, regardless of whether it results from natural factors or intentional actions. Predictability can be further achieved by implementing multiple redundant 5G carrier networks and real-time performance monitoring. The assessment of GNSS-based geofence considerations follows a similar approach. It employs the prototype template in Table 2. This assessment emphasises the need for accurate absolute positioning, which GNSS systems are tasked to provide. The evaluation criteria stipulate that the geofence system should maintain accuracy within a meter, a benchmark achievable by implementing real-time kinematic (RTK) solutions. The assessment process also involves evaluating the confidence level in the positioning measurements, including analysing how the system quantifies and manages the inherent uncertainty. In the context of geofencing, the precision of positioning is paramount. The assessment, therefore, involves verifying that RTK-based positioning consistently meets the system's accuracy requirements.
