Autonomous Vehicle Operations Procedures | ICARUS Ops

ICARUS Ops Error Elimination System (EES) · designed to reduce errors

ICARUS Ops runs pre-release, return-to-service, maintenance and incident procedures for autonomous vehicle programs as step-by-step digital procedures on Android and iOS devices, with time stamps, photo proof and sign-off, even with no signal.

The procedure layer around the vehicle

Some of the biggest risks with autonomous systems come when humans interact with the vehicle. For every one of those interactions, ICARUS Ops helps operators write mobile procedures, including normals, abnormals and incidents, and prove they were followed.

Procedures for autonomous vehicle operations

  • Pre-release and return-to-service checks
  • Routine maintenance
  • Medical emergency onboard
  • Fire on the vehicle
  • Onboard accident or collision
  • Violence in the vehicle or an active shooter nearby
  • Blown tire
  • Inclement weather, with wind limits

Where it runs

ICARUS Ops procedures are written for the conditions each operation actually faces.

  • Airports and airfields
    Pre-release checks and incident steps that work alongside aircraft operations.
  • Campuses and cities
    Routine maintenance and passenger emergency procedures for shuttles on public routes.
  • Industrial sites
    Return-to-service checks and weather limits for vehicles in working environments.

In their words

“The biggest risk in autonomous operations is the human in the loop. Icarus Ops closes that gap. Their digital checklists make sure every pre-ops check, shift handoff, and incident step gets done and documented, every time. That record is what regulators and airports want to see. I believe Icarus does this right, and I believe every AV operation should adopt it. They are an important teammate on our programs, and I endorse them 100%.”
