Abstract

The development of autonomous vehicle systems demands the increased usage of software based control mechanisms. Generally, this leads to very complex systems, whose proper functioning has to be ensured. In our work we aim at investigating and assessing the potential effects of software issues on the safety, reliability and availability of complex embedded autonomous systems. One of the key aspects of the research concerns the mapping of functional descriptions in form of integrated behavior-based control networks to State-Event Fault Tree models.
