The Leaked Tesla Files and Their Implications for ADAS Safety

Leave a Comment / Embedded Software Engineering, English Posts, Functional Safety, ISO26262, Research, Software Engineering / By

The German newspaper Handelsblatt recently obtained access to over 100 Gigabytes of leaked files from internal Tesla systems. These files cover a range of information, including confidential employee data, Cybertruck development details, and customer claims and problem reports related to Tesla’s ADAS products (full self-driving and autopilot). Fraunhofer SIT has assessed the leaked data and …

Neues Buch: Funktionale Sicherheit nach ISO 26262

Leave a Comment / ISO26262 / By

Ursprünglich hätte das Buch “Funktionale Sicherheit nach ISO 26262: Ein Praxisleitfaden zur Umsetzung” schon in 2012 erscheinen sollen. Mit einiger Verzögerung ist es nun am 31. Juli 2013 erschienen und ist damit aktuell eines der sehr wenigen verfügbaren deutschsprachigen Büchern das sich dem Thema funktionaler Sicherheit nach ISO 26262 widmet. Kurzbeschreibung (Quelle Amazon): Dieses Buch …

CausCheck : Causality Checking for Complex System Models

2 Comments / ISO26262, Research, Software Engineering / By

I’m currently developing a new method for automated safety analysis of complex systems. This method is called Causality Checking and allows for the automated generation of fault trees out of system or software architectures in SysML or UML. This post gives an overview of how Causality Checking works. CausCheck : Causality Checking for Complex System Models …

QuantUM: Safety Analysis of Complex System and Software Architectures

Leave a Comment / Functional Safety, ISO26262, Research, Software Engineering / By

The last few months I had not much time to blog, but today I want to write about a current research project I’m involved in. The QuantUM Approach When developing a safety-critical system it is essential to obtain an assessment of different design alternatives. In particular, an early safety assessment of the architectural design of …
