Design for Functional Safety, ISO 269262 Part 3 – Concept Design
Training Length - 2 Days
7FM techniques produce a concept design that promotes a solid and effective system design. Clearly identify the vehicle level functions, their risks, and how they will be controlled. Completely identify all objects which relate to the Hazard Analysis and Risk Assessment as well as their scenarios. The hazards require sensors that can see obstacles/objects under all driving conditions. Computational power is determined by the number of sensors, the maximum number of objects, and time/distance constraints. The HARA assigns Automotive Safety Integrity Levels to each vehicle level function. The top level software that directly produces these functions are all assigned their highest ASIL Risk (e.g. ASIL D if that is highest). The Vehicle level functions and their risks are assigned Functional Safety Requirements. The initial concept system design is created and ASIL decomposition is created. This is the Safety Concept. All concept functions are identified, their fault states are determined, and detection and safe states are planned. A system design needs to have this clear information in order to efficiently create its top level system function design and its top level hardware system design. This course focuses on ISO 26262 Part 3. The goal is to produce mature concept level design that provides extremely clear guidance to the system level design. The analysis covers SAE L1 through SAE L5 concepts. An L4 concept design will be offered for conversation and learning purposes.
