Addressing Common Inefficiencies When Targeting AUTOSAR and ISO 26262 with Simulink

Although the AUTOSAR standard has included constructs to support functional safety concepts since its inception, the automotive functional safety standard ISO 26262 came later from a different community. As a result, an engineering team needs to understand the gaps between these two standards when applying both at the same time. If done appropriately, the team can reduce the effort required for achieving compliance. However, finding the right solutions could be time consuming and done at the expense of engineering time on the product. In this presentation, explore a set of best practices in AUTOSAR for adhering to ISO 26262, distilled from working with automotive engineers in the last 5 years, covering architecture, data management and transfer, and workflow.
