Key Concepts and Definitions

  • Safety of the Intended Functionality (SOTIF) as a critical framework for ensuring that systems perform as intended without causing harm.
  • Differentiation between functional safety and SOTIF, clarifying how they complement each other in government operations.
  • Definitions of key terms: Hazard, Triggering Events, Safe State, and Unsafe State, with examples relevant to public sector applications.

SOTIF Process and Framework Overview

  • Stages of the SOTIF life cycle, from initial design to post-deployment monitoring, tailored for government use cases.
  • Relationship between hazard analysis and risk assessment (HARA) in ensuring comprehensive safety measures for government systems.
  • Concepts of controllability and situational awareness, crucial for maintaining safety in dynamic operational environments.

Identifying and Classifying Hazards

  • Potential hazards related to Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS) and automated driving technologies used by government agencies.
  • Use cases and examples of functional insufficiencies, illustrating common issues in government operations.
  • Triggering events in real-world scenarios that could impact the safety of government vehicles and systems.

Hazard Analysis and Risk Assessment (HARA)

  • Techniques for identifying and evaluating risks specific to government applications, ensuring thorough risk management.
  • Strategies for addressing unknown and foreseeable hazards in government contexts.
  • Determining appropriate risk reduction measures that align with government safety standards and regulations.

Design and Implementation for SOTIF Compliance

  • System architecture with a focus on safety, tailored to meet the unique needs of government operations.
  • Software and hardware development considerations for ensuring robust and reliable systems in government use.
  • Integration of safety requirements into design phases, ensuring compliance from the outset.

Verification and Validation Techniques

  • Testing strategies, including simulation, on-road testing, and field tests, to validate system performance in government scenarios.
  • Systematic and random failure detection methods to ensure continuous safety monitoring for government systems.
  • Validation of intended functionality in edge cases, ensuring comprehensive coverage of all operational conditions for government use.

Monitoring and Continuous Improvement

  • Techniques for real-time monitoring of safety systems used by government agencies.
  • Collection and use of field data to refine and improve system performance over time in government operations.
