Safety Management Systems (SMSs) have been used in many safety-critical industries and are now being developed and deployed in the automated driving system (ADS)-equipped vehicle (AV) sector. Industries with decades of SMS deployment have established frameworks tailored to their specific context. Several frameworks for an AV industry SMS have been proposed or are currently under development. These frameworks borrow heavily from the aviation industry although the AV and aviation industries differ in many significant ways. In this context, there is a need to review the approach to develop an SMS that is tailored to the AV industry, building on generalized lessons learned from other safety-sensitive industries. A harmonized AV-industry SMS framework would establish a single set of SMS practices to address management of broad safety risks in an integrated manner and advance the establishment of a more mature regulatory framework. This paper outlines a proposed SMS framework for the AV industry based on robust taxonomy development and validation criteria and provides rationale for such an approach. Keywords: Safety Management System (SMS), Automated Driving System (ADS), ADS-Equipped Vehicle, Autonomous Vehicles (AV)

翻译：安全管理体系（SMS）已在众多安全关键行业中得到应用，目前正为配备自动驾驶系统（ADS）的车辆（AV）领域所开发和部署。拥有数十年SMS部署经验的行业已建立了适应其特定背景的框架。目前已提出或正在开发若干针对AV行业的SMS框架。这些框架大量借鉴了航空业的经验，尽管AV行业与航空业在许多重要方面存在差异。在此背景下，有必要审视如何开发一个专为AV行业定制的SMS，并基于从其他安全敏感行业汲取的通用经验教训。一个统一的AV行业SMS框架将建立一套单一的SMS实践，以综合方式应对广泛的安全风险管理，并推动建立更成熟的监管框架。本文基于稳健的分类法开发和验证标准，概述了一个为AV行业提出的SMS框架，并阐述了采用此方法的理由。关键词：安全管理体系（SMS），自动驾驶系统（ADS），配备ADS的车辆，自动驾驶汽车（AV）
