In this paper, a universal and extensible description model for natural language road traffic rules is proposed, which transforms the language description of traffic rules into logical propositions through ontology methods. Then a unified road traffic rule element layer based on design operation domain and dynamic driving task is established. A road traffic rule test boundary recognition model that matches the system design operation domain and dynamic driving task is constructed, and a scenario design method based on the road traffic rule description model is proposed. The test verification of two automated driving systems shows that the road traffic rule scenario design method proposed in this paper can achieve high-coverage of road traffic rule compliance testing based on limited test cases, reduce invalid testing caused by mismatch between the system under test and the test scenario, and effectively identify situation that does not comply with road traffic rules.
