Hakan Sivencrona

Håkan Sivencrona has worked with safety related automotive applications since the 90th. He has a PhD from Chalmers University of Technology in Dependable Communication Systems. Beside working as a safety guy, he has also participated in standardization and is one of the “fathers” of the SEooC concept of ISO 26262 as well as the SOTIF standard, ISO 21448. He is currently working as a senior technical leader around safety within ADAS and ADS applications. He is still very much involved in autonomous research and is supervising one PhD student at Volvo cars.

Presentation

Continuously delivering safety cases for an ADAS/AD product – easy?

For traditional E/E systems for automotive, if that is an allowed expression, functions were developed to be sufficiently good, such as ABS. ISO 26262 was then applied to enable the definition of additional means and measures so that implementation would be reasonably safe for use, or fulfilling the ISO 26262 safety norm. For ADAS and AD we have a more complex situation. We are more or less forced to release functional growth along with the advances of functional development and the verification and validation of the same. This puts very stringent requirements on the components that constitute the ADAS or AD. All safety-relevant components need to have their contribution to the safety case known and deviations of the same taken care of by the system. What does that imply? A lot. The presentation will elaborate on some of the areas of concern such as the SeooC concept and ODD expansion in the light of ISO 26262, as well as verification in the light of ISO 21448.
