Various innovations in the automotive sector are happening in the field of electrics and electronics (E/E). This is accompanied by an increase in the complexity of these systems. The challenge now is to keep ensuring functional safety to avoid malfunctions on vehicle level. Therefore a simulation-based analysis is key. It supports the functional safety work products to derive safety goals and functional as well as technical safety concepts. This leads finally to a higher product quality.
Key topics and takeaways:
- New unique, efficient simulation-based methodology has been developed to support the functional safety work products
- Large coverage of different scenarios and hazardous events. Thousands simulation test cases executed within a few hours
- Simulation scenarios are generated automatically based on the HARA list
- Automatic postprocessing - feedback of the results to the HARA list incl. detailed evaluation
