Requirement – Safety Impact of Requirements 

From a safety standpoint, the analysis of requirements must cater to the highly adaptive and unpredictable nature of these systems. As such, the response to this query will touch on various safety elements relevant to the Automated Driving Function (ADF). A primary objective for the ADF is to minimize the likelihood of risks during operation. A methodology needs to be established to evaluate safety at all levels, from individual components and subsystems to the entire vehicle. This methodology could encompass pre-market testing, design and manufacturing processes, performance criteria, and adherence to national standards prior to system deployment.

Main Question

Do the requirements analysed take into account the safety impact?

Sub-Questions

  1. Is safety verified beyond the single component?
  2. Is the safety impact considered for changes of human and automation roles?
  3. Are there any trade-offs between safety and performance?
  4. Are safety aspects of compromised security taken into account as well?
