Safety Analysis Techniques

Find out how to figure out system safety issues by using various prescribed methods for the purpose.

This course will give you an overview and a classification of methods used to assess the safety of a system. Most common safety analysis methods are laid out and their workflows are described in detail. The course has a high practical dimension, with numerous examples including group work for course participants, which will conduct each method over a practical technical system of choice. The practical exercises would focus on the automotive domain, with analysis tackling specifics of hardware and software components in a system safety decomposition.

Course topics:

Introduction to safety analysis methods, system model analysis

Preliminary Hazard List (PHL), Preliminary Hazard Analysis (PHA), Failure Mode and Effect Analysis variants (FMEA/FMEDA/FMECA/Fu-FMEA), Functional Failure Analysis (FFA), Hazard and Operability Analysis (HAZOP), Fault Tree Analysis (FTA), Event Tree Analysis (ETA), Dependent Failure Analysis (DFA)

New analysis in the context of ISO 21448 SOTIF, such as System-Theoretic Process Analysis (STPA)

Key quantification (such as Safe Failure Fraction and Diagnostic Coverage)
