One main challenge during the validation of automotive communication architectures is to consider the assembled system and more especially the interactions between the different components. We propose....
The project DeSCAS (Design of Safety-Critical Automotive Systems) strives for introducing a human-centered design process for the development of advanced driver assistance systems for land-based vehic....
Safety is a requirement concerning an increasing number of automotive applications. Recent safety standards set requirements for designing safety-critical systems. Among others, these specifications i....
Given the increased use of programmable embedded electronic systems (PEES) in automotive applications and their vital importance, it is not only important for engineers to design PEES in such a way to....
The implementation of drive-by-wire (DbW) systems has become a prevailing issue in automotive industry. The great potential in improving vehicle performance makes this new technology outweigh traditio....
With its origin in the process industry, the IEC 61508 „Functional safety of electrical/electronic/programmable electronic safety-related systems” is not fully applicable in the automotive industry, f....
With the ever increasing amount of available software processing resources in a vehicle, more and more high-level algorithms are emerging to improve the existing systems in a car. Often these algorith....
The auto industry has had decades of experience with designing safe vehicles. The introduction of highly integrated features brings new challenges that require innovative adaptations of existing safet....
In the automotive industry, the planning of safety activities is becoming a standard topic on the daily agenda of project centers and engineering departments. In the meantime, the entire planning and ....
The Integrated Project Speeds has developed a contract based approach to systems engineering and analysis of safety relevant applications. The paper discusses the usage of this approach for ISO CD 262....
The introduction of FlexRay is often motivated with high bandwidth, fail-safety, and deterministic timing. To no surprise, FlexRay is currently being introduced broadly in the chassis domain with its ....
Operator error is a primary cause of vehicle accidents, yet human ingenuity is critical to effectively react in situations automation is not prepared to handle. Human operators have always been the ul....
The AUTOSAR standard is a de facto software standard for the automotive industry, being used for existing and future safety-related functions. The new International Standard, ISO 26262 1, dedicated fo....
Software has rapidly gained importance as a driver for innovation in automobiles. Since many safety-related automotive systems make intensive use of software, the upcoming ISO 26262 poses several requ....
With the increased adoption of AUTOSAR operating systems across the different automotive system domains a notable exception has been that of the safety critical systems. This domain has strict require....
Model-based software development and automatic code generation have become increasingly established in recent years. The automotive industry has widely adopted and successfully deployed these methods ....
This work gives an introduction into possible tool qualification approaches, and then proposes a generic approach to tool qualification using a Tool Validation Suite Approach. Here “tool” is usually u....
Safety-related systems in road vehicles are subject to hazard analysis as part of developing their safety requirements. Automotive hazard analysis leads to a requirement for target risk reduction in t....
The trend in automotive systems is towards an increasing complexity, where much of safety-critical functionality is implemented in software. The emerging safety automotive standard ISO-26262, will req....
For safety critical applications, the largest development cost lies in software and system test. Software Reliability as an engineering discipline needs to cover all common and corner test cases and t....
