Description
Summary:•A new way for designing Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS) is presented.•Expanded Human Performance Event Trees (EHPETs) are used in a Risk Based Design.•A simulation platform is introduced for probability estimations of EHPET branches.•The high flexibility and modularity of the used simulation platform is highlighted.•The interconnection of the simulation platform and the RBD Tool is shown. When designing new Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS), the existing guidelines like the RESPONSE 3 Code of Practice imply intense testing of the system prior series production. Within the EU-FP7-Project ISi-PADAS a new methodology of risk based design has been established which includes an integrated simulation platform. This integration enables intense testing of new prototypes in an accelerated way and therefore enhances the design process while directly combining the simulation results with a risk matrix. This paper describes the new methodology while focussing on the software framework and the procedure of risk assessment in detail. It shows the general approach as well as the appropriate steps taken for an ADAS prototype developed in the context of ISi-PADAS.
