With the official release of the second edition of ISO 26262 and GB/T 34590 standards, the industry pays more attention to road vehicle functional safety, and the scope is broader, especially for new energy vehicles, whose core electronic controllers have relatively high ASIL levels. In the design and development process of automotive E&E systems, vehicle manufacturers and ECU component suppliers mainly focus on systematic failures and random hardware failures. In order to timely detect functional failures and enter a safe state, thereby avoiding personal injury to traffic participants, referring to ISO 26262 standards and industry best practices, according to different levels of safety requirements, ECU manufacturers must select suitable safety design solutions and conduct sufficient safety analysis during the design and development stage. This course focuses on the hardware design development and verification requirements of ISO 26262:2018-5, and helps learners master the core methods of hardware safety analysis through practical cases.
