Safety-related systems must be thoroughly analyzed, simulated and tested throughout their development cycle. Early evaluation, ideally in the initial phases, is advisable so faults can be detected early. This not only saves time and cost; most importantly it prevents the development of systems that may potentially be unsafe and protects your company from product liability claims and, if necessary, from reputational damage.
Why is automotive safety analysis so important?
Safety analysis tests lead to:
- Identification of faults
- Assessment of their effects on the safety objective
- Investigation of fault causes
- Identification of weak areas
- Qualitative and quantitative analyses
- Derivation of safety test plans
- Information to establish diagnostic intervals
- Reduction of quality costs
Automotive safety analysis methods
Choosing and adapting different methodologies for each individual project, we use a range of safety analysis methods. This allows any special characteristics of the system to be addressed.
Failure rates and reliability predictions
We also provide accurate failure rate calculations including Mean Time Between Failures (MTBF) and reliability predictions. Learn more about our reliability services or contact us to discuss your individual needs.
