ROSAS - Safety Days 2019

AGP

Role: Collaborator

Financement: FR - EIA - Institut iSIS; FR - EIA - Institut iSIS

Description du projet : SAFETY DAY, 18th-19th September 2019 in Fribourg Delivering an acceptable level of safety is the major issue for complex integrated systems in both hardware and software in many areas of our society. Safety and Reliability Engineering, as with Cyber Security, combines both Systems Engineering and Risk Engineering with input from cross-functional competences. Safety and Reliabilty Engineering ensures that critical systems, for example in aircrafts, perform as designed in terms of safety and reliability in the event of system malfunctions. ROSAS invites experts in avionics, rail transport, automotive and electronics to the third edition of its scientific Fribourg Safety Day 2019.

Summary:

Autonomous driving is expected to revolutionize road traffic by attenuating current externalities, especially accidents and congestion. Carmakers, researchers and administrations have been working on autonomous driving for years and significant progress has been made. However , the doubts and challenges to overcome are still huge, as the implementation of autonomous driving encompasses not only complex automotive technology, but further aspects such as human behaviour, ethics, traffic management strategies, policies, liability, etc. While pilot tests under specific constraints and limitations are multiplying, Switzerland is not yet ready to open its boundaries to fully autonomous vehicles. Swiss Roads Authorities, like most national authorities around the world, are not able to assess risks that occur from the operation of such new driving methods. This paper addresses main topics that should be revaluated and included in future homologation schemes to provide safe, secure and rule-compliant operation of autonomous systems.

Summary:

Die modellbasierte Entwicklung wird in der Elektronikund Softwareindustrie bereits seit vielen Jahren angewandt. Zum Beispiel werden in der Schaltungsentwicklung computerunterstützte Modelle wie Spice bereits seit den 1970er-Jahren eingesetzt. Im Bereich des Systems Engineering kam diese Entwicklung für Branchen wie Aerospace, Automatisierungstechnik oder Medizingeräte zwar etwas später, durchdringt aber auch hier immer mehr Bereiche. Die Vorteile, die das frühe Erkennen von Designfehlern bietet, sind signifikant.
