TWO SIDES OF THE SAME COIN

Functional safety protects systems from malfunctions and thus also protects people from vehicles. This contrasts to security, which is about protecting your vehicle from other people and malicious attacks from cyberspace.

Our expertise allows us to address both process requirements and ensure that you benefit from protective measures from a single source.

This introductory module is a fast-track and systematic point of entry to the concept underlying functional safety according to ISO 26262. As well as looking at examples and running through exercises, you will also be shown connections and overlaps and see how tools are implemented in practice.

ISO 26262 requires a systematic approach in order to safeguard the functional safety of electronic components used in vehicles. This course looks at the demands placed on management both on an organisational level and within actual projects.

Day 3 deals with the risks associated with electronic products on a vehicle level in order to introduce required safety mechanisms to hardware and software. This course shows everything that needs to be done to deal with vehicle and system safety.

The job performed by hardware used in vehicle electronic products is to implement safety mechanisms. To validate the reliability of hardware, ISO 26262 provides a fault model.

ISO 26262 expects specific methods to be used, beyond good software engineering and Automotive SPICE®. This course explains the issues that need to be considered during software development and how to deal with these issues in practical terms.
