Safety-Oriented System Hardware Architecture Exploration in Compliance with ISO 26262

Safety-critical intelligent automotive systems require stringent dependability while the are in operation. Therefore, safety and reliability issues must be addressed development of such safety-critical systems. Nevertheless, incorporation safety/reliability requirements into system will raise design complexity considerably. Furthermore, international standards only provide guidelines lack concrete methodology flow. developing an effective process to assist engineers tackling verification, also satisfying standards, has become important valuable research topic. In this study, we propose a safety-oriented hardware architecture exploration framework, which incorporates fault tree-based vulnerability analysis with rapidly discover efficient solution that complies ISO-26262 overhead constraint. A failure mode, effect, diagnostic (FMEDA) report is generated after performing framework. The proposed framework can facilitate designing, assessing, enhancing safety/robustness cost-effective manner.
