Overview
Ensuring autonomous vehicle safety requires a clear vision and purpose from the top down, from automated driving to combustion control. Not sure if your requirements are complete? Do you know how to apply SOTIF? How many miles are needed for ensuring AV Safety? Whether it is asynchronous clutch control in a compound-split hybrid transmission, or a full-time AWD range shift, we can get you up to speed with the latest functional safety practices and requirements. It is time to push your ISO 26262 project to the next level and we are here to help.
No bumps. No slips. No top-down processes being rolled out onto an already overburdened development team. Through training, workshops, technology and consulting, we make the standards clear and actionable, allowing your team to confidently claim your project has functional safety.
We have experience in self-driving car operations and development, automated driving systems, powertrain, chassis, and brake control, as well as battery management systems, electric machines, power electronics, and conventional transmission and engine torque control, combustion, and diagnostics.
Below are some of our functional safety services. If you are unsure where you need help yet or want to learn more, feel free to schedule a free consultation.
SOTIF and STPA Training
-
SOTIF or ISO 21448 is a recently released standardization effort to try to address the problem of complex perception requirements. The purpose of this training is two-fold: First, understand the contents and outline of SOTIF and its distinguishing features among standards, and second, to understand practical methods in requirements and testing to fulfill the mission of SOTIF as well as related standards such as ISO 26262 and UL 4600. Practical methods and product liability considerations are included in this training to help fill-in the gaps in this informative standard.
A 3.5 hour training on ISO 21448, providing a general overview, related safety standards, implementation strategies and relevant examples.

STPA is a powerful way of identifying potential instability in self-driving cars and other systems made of hierarchical control loops. This is must-have training for combined Operational-Safety-Development processes as it includes the organization’s structure and control authority throughout the lifecycle of the product. Practical, implementable examples are provided for engineers and managers in autonomy and automotive.
This is a 3.5 hour training on STPA including a general overview, related safety analyses, implementation and examples.

Automated Driving Safety Training
-
Universal product liability concerns are addressed in the context of practical engineering solutions and operational processes for Autonomous Vehicles. Waiting for draft regulations to be finalized to the point of enforcement is too costly compared to driving solutions and regulations up-front. When accidents involving AVs happen, certain architectures, processes, and evidence will be very beneficial to providing a proper standard of care. Other kinds of evidence can add liability risk. Understanding the difference and what the ultimate goal is key to avoiding costly delays and organizational restructuring by working towards Safety Certification today.
This is a 3-hour training plus 1-hour interactive case study on L4+ AV safety architecture, operations, and certification.
