Query: Using STPA in Compliance with ISO 26262 for Developing a Safe
  Architecture for Fully Automated Vehicles   Safety has become of paramount importance in the development lifecycle of the
modern automobile systems. However, the current automotive safety standard ISO
26262 does not specify clearly the methods for safety analysis. Different
methods are recommended for this purpose. FTA (Fault Tree Analysis) and FMEA
(Failure Mode and Effects Analysis) are used in the most recent ISO 26262
applications to identify component failures, errors and faults that lead to
specific hazards (in the presence of faults). However, these methods are based
on reliability theory, and they are not adequate to address new hazards caused
by dysfunctional component interactions, software failure or human error. A
holistic approach was developed called STPA (Systems-Theoretic Process
Analysis) which addresses more types of hazards and treats safety as a dynamic
control problem rather than an individual component failure. STPA also
addresses types of hazardous causes in the absence of failure. Accordingly,
there is a need for investigating hazard analysis techniques like STPA. In this
paper, we present a concept on how to use STPA to extend the safety scope of
ISO 26262 and support the Hazard Analysis and Risk Assessments (HARA) process.
We applied the proposed concept to a current project of a fully automated
vehicle at Continental. As a result, we identified 24 system- level accidents,
176 hazards, 27 unsafe control actions, and 129 unsafe scenarios. We conclude
that STPA is an effective and efficient approach to derive detailed safety
constraints. STPA can support the functional safety engineers to evaluate the
architectural design of fully automated vehicles and build the functional
safety concept.
