Supercharge your pace with confidence! Outdated fail-safe approaches are no longer enough in today’s rapidly evolving automotive landscape. They struggle to withstand the real-world demands of developing and scaling autonomous systems. As complexity grows with every ECU update and system enhancement, so do the risks, making the transition to fail-operational design not just an upgrade, but a necessity. We understand these challenges and provide a path forward. With fail-operational principles, you can ensure your systems keep running – always. Even in the presence of faults, modern architectures like steer-by-wire and brake-by-wire maintain continuous, reliable operation without relying on a safe fallback state. They deliver uninterrupted availability while meeting the highest safety standards, including ISO 26262 ASIL D.
Build systems that never stop!
In this tech paper, Elektrobit’s expert Johannes Reisinger demonstrates how to transition to fail-operational architectures that deliver continuous operation, reduced complexity, and lower development costs.
What you’ll learn:
- How to move from fail-safe to fail-operational design for continuous system behavior
- Why ASIL-D architectures are essential for safety-critical applications
- How to use software partitioning and spatial and temporal firewalls to protect critical functions
- Ways to reduce complexity and qualification effort while improving reliability
