In today's cars, most of the functionality is implemented using hardware and software solutions. The question of adequate behaviour of automotive electric/electronic systems is raised, especially those controlling vital functions, such as braking, steering or longitudinal speed control.

 

The recently published standard ISO 26262 addresses this topic by defining a design process and by proposing safety mechanisms.

 

 

The Problem

The Goals

In the standard ISO 26262, they propose safety mechanisms to control failures and hardware metrics to check if the safety goals are achieved (part 5).

The objective of this dissertation is to include the safety mechanisms in the fault trees and to do the hardware metrics evaluation automatically in HiP-HOPS.
