Zusammenfassung
The automotive industry is facing various challenges with the introduction of autonomous vehicles.
One significant aspect is the assessment and verification of safety and security concerns that the legislators and the public demand. New methods and tools are needed to analyze and assess these advanced systems by considering all relevant features and parameters, such as the interdependencies of safety and security while keeping the time effort reasonable. Hybrid models combining fast and accurate analytical approaches with relatively slow but realistic numerical approaches may be the answer to assess these complex systems while conquering state-explosion problems.
In this paper, we apply an existing hybrid model that combines an analytical and a numerical method on a complex autonomous system to perform a holistic safety and security assessment. Thereby we assess the system under two safety-relevant assessment modes, representing different fail-operational behaviors of the system.
The goal is to show that the hybrid model is capable of assessing realistic system architectures while allowing the consideration of different assessment modes.
