E-Gas monitoring concept developed by German automotive industry as foundational safety architecture for electronic throttle control. Establishes patterns for function monitoring, plausibility checking, independent monitoring paths, degradation strategies, and limp-home modes. While pre-dating ISO 26262, E-Gas principles inform modern fail-operational architectures for powertrain, braking, and steering. Covers monitoring computer design, sensor redundancy, actuator control, and applicability to contemporary ECU architectures.
