This thesis proposes an approach to evaluate the safety of autonomous vehicles in
real traffic by using Causal Loop Diagrams from System Dynamic theory from a
previous System-Theoretic Process Analysis. The Causal Loop Diagram allows the
user to model behavioural relationships among various components of the system.
A case study has been implemented where an intersection between mixed traffic and
autonomous vehicles was analyzed. Risks were analyzed with causal relations that
were modelled in Causal Loop Diagrams. The practice of combining STPA and SD
consolidates it as a potential framework to analyse the safety of autonomous vehicles
in complex traffic and can be applied in other areas.Outgoing
