Abstract:

This report describes the research assessing the functional safety of accelerator control systems with electronic faults, such as errant electronic throttle control signals, following an industry process standard. This study focuses specifically on errant signals in motor vehicles powered by diesel engines. The study follows the concept phase process in the ISO 26262 standard and applies a hazard and operability study, functional failure modes and effects analysis, and systems theoretic process analysis methods. In total, this study identifies five vehicle-level safety goals and 204 ACS/ETC system safety requirements (an output of the ISO 26262 and STPA processes). This study uses the results of the analysis to identify potential opportunities to improve the risk assessment approach in the ISO 26262 standard.
