Abstract
Cyber-physical systems (CPSs) are becoming increasingly important in safety-critical systems. Particular risk analysis (PRA) is an essential step in the safety assessment process to guarantee the quality of a system in the early phase of system development. Human factors like the physical environment are the most important part of particular risk assessment. Therefore, it is necessary to analyze the safety of the system considering human factor and physical factor. In this paper, we propose a new particular risk model (PRM) to improve the modeling ability of the Architecture Analysis and Design Language (AADL). An architecture-based PRA method is presented to support safety assessment for the AADL model of a cyber-physical system. To simulate the PRM with the proposed PRA method, model transformation from PRM to a deterministic and stochastic Petri net model is implemented. Finally, a case study on the power grid system of CPS is modeled and analyzed using the proposed method.
