Simulate your System with Bayesian Networks

ISO 21448 - Safety of the Intended Functionality (SOTIF) requires measurable acceptance criteria but does not tell us how to validate those.

This training is fully focused on practical answers how to …

  • quantify performance limitations and risks
  • identify hidden performance insufficiencies
  • minimize uncertainty
  • find unknown scenarios & rare hazardous events
  • determine probabilities & occurrence rates of hazardous events
  • model complex, multi-dimensional dependencies & conditional probabilities

Even brute-force simulation similar to computer games is not a solution, as it does not quantify uncertainties and statistical dependencies based on a solid mathematical foundation.

We provide you with a modern computer-based validation method of SOTIF acceptance criteria which scales to today´s real automotive systems and allows to simulate the complete system with parameters reflecting real-world scenarios.

Why Attend?

  • Learn how to model uncertainty
  • Overcome the limits to traditional risk assessment approaches
  • Use new technology like Bayesian Networks for highly complex systems in real-world scenarios
  • quantify performance limitations and risks

Who should attend?

  • Product Owners, Function Owners, Domain Experts for AD Systems
  • System & SW Engineers
  • Experts for Functional Safety and SOTIF

Applicable for Autonomous Driving as well as for other areas that require quantitative risk analysis.

Agenda and Content

  • Motivation
    • Millions of km for Driving-Tests?
    • Limits of classic risk analysis & common cause
  • Modern Methods – Basics & Theory
    • Essential Statistical Concepts – Quick Refresher
    • Model Statistical System Dependencies
    • Bayesian Networks
  • Practical Application
    • Modeling a real SOTIF application
    • Simulation, System Optimization and Tuning

Accompanied by a practical example and hands-on exercises with Python & Jupyter

Prerequisites:

  • Technical Background (Bachelor/Master level)
  • Basic Programming Experience (Python or similar)

Recommended: Exercises can be performed on your own laptop (quick setup guidelines for Python are provided)

Takeaway:

After this training, you´ll be able to model and simulate SOTIF systems in real-world scenarios, to optimize and validate your system based on proven mathematical methods.
