Run Time Assurance for Safety-Critical Systems: An Introduction to Safety Filtering Approaches for Complex Control Systems [article]

Kerianne Hobbs, Mark Mote, Matthew Abate, Samuel Coogan, Eric Feron
2022 arXiv   pre-print
In many cases, RTA systems can functionally be described as containing a monitor that watches the state of the system and output of a primary controller, and a backup controller that replaces or modifies  ...  An important quality of an RTA system is that the assurance mechanism is constructed in a way that is entirely agnostic to the underlying structure of the primary controller.  ...  A command or reference governor architecture is depicted in Figure S1 .  ...
