ISO 26262 Complaint Safety Module for ADAS and it's Validation

Abstract

Safety and hazard free life has been a primary concern for human kind. With evolution of technology and automation and machine around people which are intended to ease the human effort are getting more powerful, Hazards are also getting increasing with increase in ease of access, due to concern of highly powerful electrical and electronic systems, safety standards have been derived which limits the hazards and possible failure condition which may result into loss of life.

This study focuses on one such hazard of automobile systems and the safety standard, ISO26262 which is intended to standardize development of safe hazard limited systems. Functional safety analysis widely focuses on the possible failure of such systems in automibile use cases and controlling the failure in certain limits of damage which inturn limits the fuctional and operational hazards.

Development of various components in electronic systems and integration of that systems is a very complex process, due to high complexity, chances of possile error during development are also high. Validation focuses on detecting and solving this kind of error and execution of system will worst case scenarios to validate whether the functional definetion is fulfilled or not.

This study highly focuses on efficient and powerful validation frameworks which are highly automatic, reliable and giving maximum coverage of validation to the given system. The compilation of the Design is carried out with the different approaches gathering the information from literature, past experiences and with industries requirement for the uses of the systems involving its functionality and additional safety systems.
