Join us at BeSafe Benchmarking of functional safety workshop
BeSafe is a three-year FFI project working with benchmarking of functional safety in automotive electronic systems. In a series of open workshops over the duration of the project we will present our results and plans. You are cordially invited to join us in our First Open Workshop in the BeSafe project.
Safety is one of the most important areas in the evolution of
vehicles. In addition to new vehicle safety systems, we have increasing
requirements and focus on functional safety, i.e., a systems ability to
stay safe during operation, also in the
event of faults.
In the EuroNCAP, vehicle safety is benchmarked, assessing the
ability of new cars to protect drivers, passengers, and pedestrians in
accidents. This has lead to safer cars
as well as an increase in public awareness concerning vehicle
safety.
For functional safety, there are no standardized ways of assessment.
There are a number of techniques and
methodologies, which are used in more or less ad hoc ways in the
automotive industry. This is where BeSafe comes in: we
will identify benchmark targets in automotive electronic systems
(models, software, and hardware), define benchmark measures and a
methodology for performing and using such benchmarks.
A common way of measuring functional safety will improve the
industry’s ability to provide safe vehicles. Functional safety
benchmarks can be used, for instance, when doing a
comparison of different systems with each other, when creating profiles
of systems to find weaknesses, when specifying requirements to
suppliers, and when estimating the emerging
safety properties of a system integrated from a set of components.
