Abstract
This paper presents an approach to requirements engineering in the Cycab domain. Cycabs are public vehicles with fully automated driving capabilities. So far few studies have dealt with expressing such requirements at the highest level of abstraction. Furthermore, during their building, software systems embedded in Cycabs are subject to frequent changes of requirements. Thus, we need to represent a family of Cycabs that can differ according to different options. The proposed approach tries to address these issues by adopting and extending the KAOS goal oriented method. The main objective is to provide a process to define and adapt specific requirements models from a generic model, according to different situations made available to the stakeholders.
