In the field of vehicular automation a scenario denotes a sequence of snapshots of the environment and the actions of a vehicle. Scenarios are created to represent real-world situations and are used for development, testing, and validation purposes. [1] [2]

"description of the temporal relationship between several scenes ... in a sequence of scenes, with goals and values within a specified situation, influenced by actions ... and events" | ISO 21448:2022(en), 3.26 [3] |
"sequence of scenes ... usually including the automated driving system(s) .../subject vehicle(s) ..., and its/their interactions in the process of performing the dynamic driving task" | ISO 34501:2022(en), 3.4 [4] |
According to ASAM's OpenODD concept paper, scenarios are related to operational design domain. However, they are not the same. Defining the appropriate behavior of actors within an ODD creates a scenario that is not dependent on any ODD definition. [5]
In 2022, Netherlands Organisation for Applied Scientific Research announced scenario-based safety validation of self-driving trucks in cooperation with Torc Robotics. [6]
