contents Ensuring the safety of autonomous vehicles (AVs) is paramount before they can be introduced to the market. More specifically, securing the Safety of the Intended Functionality (SOTIF) poses a notable challenge; while ISO 21448 outlines numerous activities to refine the performance of AVs, it offers minimal quantitative guidance. This paper endeavors to decompose the acceptance criterion into quantitative perception requirements, aiming to furnish developers with requirements that are not only understandable but also actionable. This paper introduces a risk decomposition methodology to derive SOTIF requirements for perception. More explicitly, for subsystemlevel safety requirements, we define a collision severity model to establish requirements for state uncertainty and present a Bayesian model to discern requirements for existence uncertainty. For component-level safety requirements, we proposed a decomposition method based on the Shapley value. Our findings indicate that these methods can effectively decompose the system-level safety requirements into quantitative perception requirements, potentially facilitating the safety verification of various AV components.
