AUTOSAR (AUTomotive Open System Architecture) is an open, international standard for the software architecture of automotive ECUs, which is commonly developed in an international consortium of several OEMs, tier1s, and software tool providers. Today, numerous series vehicles with AUTOSAR technology inside are on the road. Within the AUTOSAR standard, several concepts and mechanisms to support s...

In this paper selected aspects of human factors are discussed that should be taken into account during the design of safety-related functions for a complex hazardous installation and its protections. The layer of protection analysis (LOPA) methodology is used for simplified risk analysis based on defined accident scenarios. To control the risk the safety instrumented functions (SIFs) are identi...

Architectures for communication between road vehicles and road infrastructure are under development. The new applications made possible by advanced communication create new opportunities and new safety challenges. The functional safety aspects so far considered for single vehicles have to be considered also for cooperative systems of road vehicles. The report is the result of a study identifyin...

With the growing complexity of the hardware models, the verification of the functional safety of each individual component as well as of the entire system becomes increasingly complex. In this paper the authors present a novel approach to functional safety analysis, based on the integration of functional tests into the model itself and the analysis of resulting model through a stochastic Bayesi...
