Overview
This two-day advanced training is designed to help engineering teams deepen their understanding of qualitative safety analyses in line with ISO 26262:2018 and ISO 21448:2022, aligned for developers of Automated Driving Systems (ADS). The session focuses on inductive (bottom-up), deductive (top-down), and systems-theoretic approaches (STPA), with a strong emphasis on hands-on exercises. It is ideal for professionals involved in functional safety and autonomy safety engineering who need practical guidance on applying these methods to real-world ADS product development.
Details
This two-day training emphasizes practical application and interactive discussion. The focus is on qualitative analyses, with guidance of quantitative methods for establishing risk criteria. The content and pace are tailored to engineering teams working on safety-critical systems such as ADAS and ADS architectures. The course is delivered by seasoned SRES practitioners with real-world experience in deploying these techniques at leading OEMs and suppliers, and includes opportunities for open discussion and exchange of experience.
Objectives
Participants will:
- Learn the fundamentals of FMEA, FTA, and STPA and their relevance under ISO 26262 and ISO 21448
- Apply structured methods for hazard/fault identification and risk evaluation for ADAS and ADS in accordance with ISO 26262 and ISO 21448
- Gain hands-on experience with key analysis techniques
- Understand how to meet the qualitative safety analysis objectives required by current standards
- Exchange experiences and tips with functional and autonomy safety experts
