Using STPA to develop system safety in ADAS
Empower functional safety standards from hazard identification to actionable requirements
Developing Advanced Driver-Assistance Systems (ADAS) and Autonomous Vehicles (AVs) requires a robust approach to safety. Traditional methods may miss hazards arising from complex system interactions.
Unlike traditional approaches, (System-Theoretic Process Analysis (STPA) goes beyond component failures to identify potential hazards arising from dynamic system interactions. By systematically analyzing control loops and constraints, STPA helps develop realistic scenarios for virtual verification, guiding the creation of robust safety requirements.

Defining technical safety requirements with STPA
STPA isn't just about identifying potential dangers in ADAS and autonomous vehicles; it empowers you to translate those hazards into actionable safety measures. By analyzing identified hazards, STPA guides the creation of technical safety requirements, the blueprints for building a secure system.
STPA ensures your technical safety requirements directly address the system's vulnerabilities, paving the way for a robust and dependable ADAS or autonomous vehicle.
Using STPA for functional safety
The road to developing safe ADAS and autonomous vehicles hinges on achieving functional safety. STPA empowers you to meet rigorous industry standards like ISO 26262 and SOTIF. STPA's systematic approach goes beyond pinpointing hazards; it helps define clear safety goals.
Imagine an ADAS lane-keeping system struggling with faded lane markings. STPA can expose this risk and guide the development of safety goals, such as enhanced sensor capabilities or redundant detection mechanisms.
By bridging the gap between hazard identification and safety goal definition, STPA paves the way for developing ADAS and autonomous vehicles that prioritize safety on every journey.
