Spring’22 Discount – Enroll now and Save $100 - use code: fs100sp --> Learn the Lifecycle and Mandatory Processes of Automotive ISO26262 Standard The increasing trend of vehicles embedded with more technological complexity has introduced risks from systematic and random hardware failures. This has led to the development to the ISO 26262 series of standards to address functional safety of electrical and/or electronic systems within road vehicles. Participants in this course will explore typical functional safety standards, their genesis, their role and their applicability in real-world...

Apply modeling methods to the technical safety concept. Automotive Functional Safety Design course provides the best practices in designing safety functions within safety-related systems in modern vehicles, with regards to system design. It will cover the concepts to prevent and tolerate faults in the system domain and prepare a foundation for hardware and software domains. The focus of this course is on understanding the applicability and limits of methods (formal and non-formal), with emphasis on functional safety. The course will examine how the formal model checking principles can be...

Learn about Automotive software This course expands on the overall role software plays in modern technical systems, with emphasis on next-generation vehicle designs where software takes the dominating role. The course bridges the discussion on the practical measures used in software design, as well as key programming constructs, with the take on complex software stacks including AUTOSAR, RTOS and their future role in automotive safety. Software decomposition and virtualization (hypervisors), AI algorithm isolation (caging), software upgrade procedures and cybersecurity aspects will also be...

Verification and validation processes and assessments. Verification and validation are deemed essential from the standpoint of communication, legal approval, and product placement. Participants in this course are exposed to test procedures and methodology, verification and validation processes and assessments related to the safety-related systems design. In the practical part of the course, students will be able to create a test plan for the safety-relevant area and coordinate it with the overall project management plan. They will learn in depth the test selection procedures and available...
