Practical Aspects of Safety Analysis 

Expert led training dedicated to the areas of automotive systems development that benefit from safety analysis with a practical, real-world approach.

This training explores the areas of automotive systems development that benefit from safety analysis and looks at practical approaches to these assessments. This also allows learners to address common methods such as RBDs, FTA, FMEA, FMECA, SW FMEA and FMEDA.

A variety of examples used throughout allow learners to test these and apply practical tips for everyday use.

Contents

Day 1

• Failure modes, effects and causes.
• Unique requirements for safety FMEA.
• FMEA for functional safety concept (FSC) and technical safety concept (TSC) development.
• Software safety analysis using FMEA.
• Quantitative versus qualitative analysis.
• FMEDA basics.
• FIT rate calculation and catalogs.
• Diagnostic coverage (DC).
• Calculating ISO 26262 metrics with FMEDA, including probabilistic metric for random hardware failure (PMHF), single point fault metric (SPFM) and latent fault metric (LFM).

Day 2

• FTA basics.
• Functional FTA for functional safety requirements (FSRs).
• Probability calculations in FTA.
• Hardware FTA.
• Calculating ISO 26262 metrics with FTA, including PMHF.
• Similarities and differences between FMEDA and FTA.
• Confidence levels.
• Fault detection, mitigation and control.
• Multi-point fault detection interval (MPFDI) .
• Integrating metrics for safety validation.
• Vehicle-level integration of supplier safety analysis.
