Rigorous Safety Analysis and Design of ADAS and ADS – Implications on Tools

Ensuring the safety of Automated Driving Assistance Systems (ADAS) and Automated Driving Systems (ADS) is a growing concern with the increasing use of self-driving vehicles, trucks, and robotaxis. A key challenge lies in the lack of agreement on how to define, measure, and design for safety in these systems. This whitepaper explores critical safety questions and highlights the missing element of rigor in the development and commercialization of automated vehicles. It also delves into software tool requirements at the organizational level to support a rigorous safety approach. Learn how the ALM tool EwQIMS, with its functional safety module compliant with ISO 26262, can help drive safer automated systems.
