- System levelSafety Design PatternsLearn proven architectural patterns like redundancy, monitoring, watchdogs, and graceful degradation mapped to ASIL targets. Includes real-world automotive examples from powertrain, chassis, ADAS, and the E-Gas case study.
- FoundationsFaults and FailuresLearn the complete fault taxonomy: single-point, residual, latent, and safe faults plus transient vs. permanent classifications. Covers FTTI analysis, dependent failure analysis, FMEDA calculations, and the bathtub curve.
- Concept phaseHazard Analysis & Risk Assessment (HARA)Learn how to identify vehicle-level hazards and assign ASIL ratings through Severity, Exposure, and Controllability assessment. Covers operational situations, FTTI concepts, and advanced topics for ADAS and distributed systems.
