Abstract

Road transport system is one of the essential infrastructures in the world, where the majority of the population use its facilities on a daily basis. That is why ensuring their safety has been always a growing concern for most authorities. The automotive industry is already aware of that, and the ISO 26262, a standard for developing functional safety systems for vehicles, has been developed. Although current studies have shown that the root cause for most of the accidents has shifted from vehicle-centric to driver-centric, the main objective of ISO 26262 is covering electronic and electric (E/E) systems of vehicles with almost no emphasis on the driver itself. To this end, we propose a holistic approach based on the ISO 26262 standard that not only considers the E/E systems of the vehicle but also the driver’s behaviour. We illustrate the utility of the approach with an example from the automotive domain.

Notes

  1. 1.

    QM is assigned to hazards with very low probability or causing only slight injuries.

  2. 2.

    P. and C. represent the Parts and Clauses of ISO 26262 respectively.

  3. 3.

    A SG may cover multiple hazardous events.

  4. 4.

    The identified hazards are not complete nor exclusive due to space limitation.

  5. 5.

    FSR1.1, FSR1.2, FSR1.3 can also be derived from SG2, but since ISO 26262 requires to keep the FSRs list atomic, they are not derived again from SG2.
