Abstract:

In the context of sustainable development, functional safety research in automotive industry is very important. Functional safety proves to be one of the key issues of future automotive development especially taking into account the technological advances. The technological complexity of the software content and the implementation of various concepts, determines an increased risk of introducing potential faults leading to malfunctions of the E/E systems. So automotive vehicle manufacturers and suppliers are taking steps to implement ISO 26262 to avoid the risk of losing their competitive edge. This paper aims to be a support for the first introduction in the development of products and processes compliant with ISO 26262 requirements.
