Important results from the project
A methodology and tool for supporting model based safety analysis have been developed. The tool is based upon Matlab and called “SMP-Tool”. The tool makes it possible to perform model based safety analysis, in order to quantitatively analyze complex safety concepts typical for autonomous driving solutions. The tool is published as freeware on the KTH web: https://www.kth.se/mmk/mechatronics/current-projects/smp-tool-1.931627 The success factor would be if the methodology and the tool are used in industry in regular projects.
Expected long term effects
The possible economic impact of using SMP-Tool is substantial, since it helps obtaining safe and cost efficient product solutions, e.g. to support autonomous driving. So far the tool has been used in some selected case studies, with very promising results.
Approach and implementation
The approach has been to start from the industrial needs and shortcomings in current methodology, e.g. from ISO 26262. Researchers at KTH have been engaged to solve theoretical problems, while engineers at Scania have focused on implementing the tool and case studies. Each case study has resulted in new findings of shortcomings in the proposed methodology or tool. The solution of these new shortcomings has then driven the project forward.
