SAFETY AND ACCIDENT RECONSTRUCTION
Assignment #1: Description and Requirements The assignment consists in developing an autonomous vehicle top level design and performing a PHA (preliminary hazard analysis). The design should specify: • Functionality
as applied to self-driving vehicles and the three types of safety: Functional Safety, SOTIF, and Multi-agent safety. Safety has been ranked as the number one concern for the acceptance and adoption of self-driving vehicles, and understandably so since safety has some of the most complex requirements in the development of such vehicles. This course will characterize the nature of safety of automated vehicles and enable participants to understand the various applicable aspects of safety, including design aspects or applications of safe automated vehicles. The course will clarify the role of SOTIF and multi-agent safety for automated vehicles and address the development of multi-agent safety using a probabilistic and stochastic framework. Five practice exercises to be completed by learners between live sessions are incorporated into the course requirements to ensure application and retention. Each recommended assignment should take an average of one hour outside of scheduled class time. Learning Objectives By connecting with this web seminar, you will be able to: • Articulate the concepts of hazard, risk, risk assessment, and risk reduction • List and describe the most fundamental ideas and techniques of Functional Safety, SOTIF, and Multi-agent safety • Describe the salient features and application of the ISO 26262 standard • Develop a Functional Safety Concept for a specific subsystem of an AV • Summarize the main NHTSA safety guidelines for autonomous vehicles • Identify safety hazards involved when a vehicle share the road with other vehicles and pedestrians • Summarize the main elements to be addressed while writing a safety report for an autonomous vehicle. Who Should Attend This course will be especially valuable for those needing to address safety issues in the design of ADAS (advanced driver assistance systems) and self-driving vehicles. Participants should have a mechanical, electrical or computer engineering or computer science degree.

For each SCF, specify its ASIL value and include the following:
• Safety Functions, Safety Goals • Overview of Functional Safety
