Vehicle control unit (VCU) is the processing center of pure electric vehicle. With the increase of application, the safety design becomes the essential issue for VCU. According to the requirement of ISO 26262, VCU needed to be designed at least with ASIL C. The derivation of functional safety requirement for VCU poses a great challenge. In order to address the issue, this paper puts forward the technology...
The growing size and complexity of software in embedded systems poses new challenges to the safety assessment of embedded control systems. In industrial practice, the control software is mostly treated as a black box during the system's safety analysis. The appropriate representation of the failure propagation of the software is a pressing need in order to increase the accuracy of safety analyses...
Industrial functional safety managers claim that there is no safety (S) without quality (Q) possible. The contribution is to make aware of the importance of standards and the compliance with processes. An overview of relevant functional safety analysis activities is given based on industrial experience in the area of automotive and railway. Even though these methods and software development processes...
Cyber physical Systems (CPS) are a key technology to enable the development of highly automated and autonomous maritime systems. The development of new complex and distributed safety-critical systems increases the challenges of testing due to a variety of Verification and Validation (V+V) methods, strictly required confidence to functional correctness of heterogenous cooperating systems and management...
In-field test of electronic devices is becoming increasingly important due to the wide adoption of electronic systems in safety-critical applications. Hence, it is crucial to devise and deploy effective solutions supporting the test during the operational phase of all the components of an electronic system, including the memory modules embedded in a SoC. Some key aspects include the possible reuse...
Different perspectives about the concept of Robustness in Automotive Electronic are provides by leading edge semiconductor manufacturer. Xilinx contribution is related to the development and evaluation of Software Test Libraries suitable for in-field testing of the interconnect blocks in large SoCs. Infineon (IFX) section is discussing safety and security concerns of On-Line FLASH Memory Repair. STMicroelectronics...
This paper introduces a static binary analysis tool called CrashFilter, which classifies the crashes arisen during the test, according to the risk levels. It has advantages in accuracy and provides wider coverage of analysis, due to newly introduced analyses–Memory Location Analysis and Inter-Procedure Analysis.
This paper represents possible approaches to cyber security assurance for implementation the configuration process of Field Programmable Gates Array (FPGA) based platform for safety critical applications. It also contains results of conducted analysis for secure configuration process in existing platforms, similar in terms of functionality, but based on different technologies. Protection concepts...
The ability to navigate in diverse and previously unknown environments is a critical service of autonomous robots. The validation of the navigation software typically involves test campaigns in the field, which are costly and potentially risky for the robot itself or its environment. An alternative approach is to perform simulation-based testing, by immersing the software in virtual worlds. A question...
Medical Cyber Physical Systems (MCPS) are lifecritical networked systems of medical devices. These systems are increasingly used in hospitals to provide high-quality healthcare for patients. However, MCPS also bring concerns about security and safety and new challenges to protect patients from acts of theft or malice. In this paper, we focus our investigation on a thorough understanding of threat...
A new generation of medical devices emerges to supportincreasingly more complex medical decisions and procedures.These Medical Devices (MD) combine data fromnovel sensors and existing modalities like scanners withelaborate software processing to assist caregivers in the sameway Flight Management Systems help a pilot flying planes.For instance, Blue Ortho’s MD allows performing TotalKnee Arthroplasty...
Security cases—which document the rationale for believing that a system is adequately secure—have not been sufficiently used for a lack of practical construction method. This paper presents a hierarchical software security case development method to address this issue. We present a security concept relationship model first, then come up with a hierarchical asset-threat-control measure argument strategy,...
Medical eye surgery robots are supporting the surgery process in many ways, they primarily can help the surgeon during surgery procedure, they can provide valuable status information about the environment, about the patient and about the forthcoming steps of the surgical process, and by definition they need to protect the patient too. During eye surgery we can differentiate phases of the process and...
The fierce competition among automotive manufacturers in introducing Advanced Driver Assist Systems (ADAS) and autonomous features has led to the explosive growth of the Electrical/Electronics (E/E) assets, including Software, in today's and future vehicles. The resource demand and quality requirements of these assets has increased consequently. Rigorous methodologies and tools are required for developing...
As modern unmanned aerial systems (UAS) continue to expand the frontiers of automation, new challenges to security and thus its safety are emerging. It is now difficult to completely secure modern UAS platforms due to their openness and increasing complexity. We present the VirtualDrone Framework, a software architecture that enables an attack-resilient control of modern UAS. It allows the system...
The advancement in Autonomous Vehicles (AVs) has created an enormous market for the development of self-driving functionalities, raising the question of how it will transform the traditional vehicle development process. One adventurous proposal is to open the AV platform to third-party developers, so that AV functionalities can be developed in a crowd-sourcing way, which could provide tangible benefits...
This paper addresses requirements from future automotive electronics system concept/design to computing technology or platform filling processing characteristics which will be used in applications of automated driving generation. We cannot completely predict future trends of functionality or application, so it is important to have flexible and scalable computing platform for that generation. The platform...
We explore the feasibility of 5G for enhancing cooperative automated driving. A V2X solution for enhancing road safety through connected cars based on 5G radio technology is shown. Based on a flexible, re-configurable software defined radio test-bed, we examine the benefit of ultra low latency and high reliability (URLLC) profile for enhanced emergency brake maneuver. This use case reveals the advantages...
Sounding rockets are a widely used test bench in the aerospace field that allow testing a huge quantity of products, parts ed experiments.
