abstract = {Automated driving systems can encounter an infinite number of scenarios in real-world traffic. Although a scenario-based approach can significantly reduce the number of test cases for validating such systems, the amount is still unfeasible for real-world tests. Introduced validation strategies try to cope with that but have an inconsistent definition of operational design domain coverage. The proposed method combines existing ideas of scenario-based with a disturbance-based assessment relying on physics principles by embedding them into a method for the safety validation of ADS, including a proposal for the coverage evaluation. This approach exploits the fact that a finite number of physics principles are relevant for the safe operation of an automated driving system and are potential root causes for failure. A dedicated proof-of-concept consisting of an automated lanekeeping system, focussing on traffic disturbance scenarios, uses the suggested method. Essentially, using the concrete example of a logical scenario for a cut-in also shows that the physics principles-based approach, which defines disturbances, can be combined with a data-driven approach for an overall scenario-based assessment. Furthermore, a categorisation for the useful key performance indicators to evaluate an executed concrete scenario is introduced.},
