Functional Safety according to ISO 26262 – Concept phase

Understand what ISO 26262 at vehicle level means

The most critical point in the whole standard is how ASILs are derived and what consequences in the lower levels this ASIL has in the vehicle.

What you’ll learn

  • Understand how ISO 26262 is structured at the concept phase.
  • Learn how to create the Item Definition.
  • Do the Hazard Analysis and Risk Assessment by example.
  • Write the Functional Safety Requirements using an example.

Course Content

  • Introduction –> 3 lectures • 30min.
  • ISO 26262 – Part 3 –> 5 lectures • 2hr 6min.

Functional Safety according to ISO 26262 - Concept phase

Requirements

The most critical point in the whole standard is how ASILs are derived and what consequences in the lower levels this ASIL has in the vehicle.

You may have encountered safety requirements, goals, or confirmation reviews and needed clarification on how these were created and developed.

In this course, you will have the opportunity to see how to build your work products and the reasons behind decisions.

  • What is functional safety, and how are the levels of abstractization and perspectives in the context of ISO 26262 created.
  • What kind of information should be written in Item Definition, and for whom is intended?
  • How to choose controllability, and why is a safe state critical?
  • Why ASIL B and not ASIL A?
  • How to structure the Hazard Analysis and Risk Assessment to cover all the needed information.
  • What is the meaning of ASIL Decomposition?
  • What kind of information should be in your Functional Safety Concept?
  • What kind of timespans are essential for Functional Safety?
  • How a Steer-by-wire item is designed, and how ISO 26262 Part can be applied to it?

These questions and many others will be answered in this course.

For a better overview, I have created some examples and templates, and links to several resources to give you more insights into these topics.
