Safety Analyses in the Context of ISO 26262
In-House Training
Various types of safety analyses at system, hardware, and software levels are crucial to the ISO 26262 safety life cycle. Understanding the pros and cons of the different analysis methods, as well as the normative requirements, is essential for conducting these analyses effectively and efficiently.
This one-day training class introduces the fundamentals of common safety analysis methods such as FMEA, FMEDA, and FTA and discusses the role of these methods in the development of safety-related E/E systems as per ISO 26262.
Target Audience
This course is designed for automotive professionals (safety engineers, safety managers, system, HW and SW developers, engineering team leads, and managers) involved in the development of safety-related automotive E/E systems as well as anyone interested in learning about safety analyses techniques used in the automotive domain.
Highlights
- Classification of analysis methods (inductive vs deductive, qualitative vs quantitative)
- Common safety analysis methods
- Failure Modes and Effects Analysis (FMEA)
- Failure Modes, Effects, and Diagnostic Analysis (FMEDA)
- Fault Tree Analysis (FTA)
- ISO 26262 hardware metrics (SPFM, LFM, PMHF)
- Combining safety analysis methods
- Role of safety analyses in the ISO 26262 safety life cycle
