Course Outline

Introduction to SOTIF and ISO/PAS 21448:2019

  • Historical context and development of the standard
  • Comparison between ISO 26262 and ISO/PAS 21448
  • Defining the scope and objectives of SOTIF

Core Concepts and Terminology

  • Safety of the Intended Functionality (SOTIF)
  • Distinguishing functional safety from SOTIF
  • Key terms: Hazard, Triggering Events, Safe State, and Unsafe State

Overview of the SOTIF Process and Framework

  • Phases of the SOTIF lifecycle
  • Connection between hazard analysis and risk assessment (HARA)
  • Principles of controllability and situational awareness

Hazard Identification and Classification

  • Potential hazards associated with ADAS and automated driving
  • Use cases illustrating functional insufficiencies
  • Triggering events in real-world conditions

Hazard Analysis and Risk Assessment (HARA)

  • Methods for identifying and assessing risks
  • Managing unknown and foreseeable hazards
  • Establishing suitable risk mitigation measures

Design and Implementation for SOTIF Compliance

  • System architecture emphasizing safety
  • Considerations for software and hardware development
