Join us before we kickstart the main event and get to know the event speakers – make new contacts, reconnect with colleagues & peers, and get prepared for the day ahead!

In this opening presentation, a leading safety expert will discuss how their company is treating safety right now, and how they are changing their approach to meet the safety requirements for the future.

• Learn how safety approaches are evolving to keep up with developments in the automotive industry.
• Find out how safety experts are dealing with different levels of autonomous driving.
• Hear best practices for integrating a robust safety management system to detect hazards and mitigate any risks on the field.
• Gain insight into safety approaches that are needed alongside ISO 26262 & SOTIF to deal with increasing levels of complexity.

Join this panel of experts & working group members as they share proposals to achieve better efficiency, streamline activities, and fast-track functional safety processes.

• Hear new methods for making processes more efficient & cost effective, without compromising on safety and integrity.
• What solutions are companies proposing to optimise the interface between companies in the supply chain?
• Find out how large language models like Chat GPT can be used to automate functional safety activities.
• Discuss how FuSa processes can be streamlined where functional safety has already been achieved by the platform developer.
• Share ideas for taking a holistic view on how standards can interact together to avoid duplicating processes and adding unnecessary cost.

Complex automotive systems require handling of FuSa and SOTIF aspects as integral parts of the product engineering flow.

Model-Based Systems Engineering (MBSE) based on System Architectural Models enables the exploitation of system, software and hardware models for safety analysis, and traceable feedback of its outcomes - safety requirements and safety measures - into iterative system improvement.

• Explore capabilities to simulate models from an early stage avoids costly mistakes and validates the efficiency of safety measures.
• See an example of how this can be put into practice in an agile & collaborative way with a suite of integrated capabilities, centred around the web-based Systems Architecture Modeler for SysML v2, safety analysis methods, trade studies and requirements management synchronization

As time progresses since its first release, ISO 26262 is becoming more mature in practice. But as automotive companies go forward towards newer projects, SOTIF is coming in thick and fast, and the safety community has to deal with more software, AI, & ADAS features being added to the vehicle.

•  Share your ideas and listen to experts as they discuss the current state of ADAS & AI, how to deal with new SOTIF projects, and how functional safety approaches need to adapt to reflect changes in the automotive industry.

Join this session to discuss successful SOTIF implementation, providing a practical example of how to apply ISO 21448 to a system.

Take a deep dive into how automotive companies are implementing SOTIF, and find out:

• How to approach SOTIF implementation in an optimised and efficient way.
• What organisations need to consider when adding SOTIF to a project.
• How SOTIF implementation has progressed in the past few years.

We’re inviting an autonomous vehicle expert to guide the audience through the ISO 21448 considerations for L3+ autonomous vehicles, focusing on these key areas among others:

• What else needs to be considered when adding SOTIF to a product?
• Find out how SOTIF changes the safety concept of L3+ autonomous vehicles.
• Gain insight into how to deliver SOTIF for specific ADAS features, and how learnings can be used for other autonomous functions.
• Learn how to specify the operational design domain for autonomous driving applications, and the differences between L2/L3 and L5.

Listen to this presentation as an AV safety subject matter expert takes to the stage to share:

• The verification & validation challenges for L3+ autonomous vehicles.
• Solutions to optimise operational safety for autonomous driving systems without duplicating processes for functional safety. 
• How to determine whether an autonomous vehicle is safer than a human driver.
• Insight into how to make one V&V strategy for autonomous vehicles that is both FuSa and SOTIF compliant.

Functional safety is being driven forward by new legislation, and as China begins to make functional safety a mandatory requirement to sell vehicles in the market, what more is required from automakers?

Join this session as safety experts offer a comparison between functional safety and new Chinese legislation, and understand what more needs to be done to meet the safety requirements coming from China.
