ISO 21448:2022 Complete Training Program to Achieve the Safety of the Intended Function (SOTIF)

Safety managers, system developers, sensor and component developers, test engineers, and all who are concerned with developing innovative advanced driving assist systems (ADAS) and highly automated driving (HAD) functions aiming to implement their developments on the basis of the recognized international specification ISO 21448.

Amongst others the training covers the following topics:

Day 1:

• Safety of the intended function (SOTIF) as an integral part to a concept of holistic safety for automated vehicles
• Basic understanding and terminology in the field of the safety of the intended function (SOTIF)
• SOTIF and its relation to performance limitations of sensors and algorithms, perception of environment and situation awareness
• Essential building blocks to achieve the SOTIF (according to ISO 21448)
• Relevance of validation targets for the achievement of overall risk targets
• Outline to strategies supporting the argumentation towards SOTIF
• Support for appraisal of technical arguments towards the SOTIF and recommendations towards product release

Day 2:

• Analysis and evaluation of risk imposed by the intended function
• Identification and provisions regarding triggering events during system development
• Ways to evaluate misuse and adequate precautions
• Specification of the intended function and evaluation of functional architectures
• Validation strategies to support the argumentation towards SOTIF
• Discussion of issues regarding derivation of validations targets
• Approaches to argue the achievement of overall risk targets
• Relation and combination of the SOTIF (ISO 21448) and functional safety (ISO 26262)

Based on our long-standing practical experience in the field of Functional Safety we provide you with the necessary expertise for the new ISO 21448:2022 dealing with "Safety of the Intended Function" (SOTIF). For driver assistant systems and automated driving, the safety of the intended function (SOTIF) is a very important complement to functional safety. While functional safety addresses the integrity of electrical and/or electronic (E/E) systems within road vehicles, SOTIF deals with the minimization of risk from insufficiencies of functional performance and robustness. The various aspects of safety are key issues in the development. Our training is based on the latest concepts developed in industry, including TÜV SÜD, used to implement the public available specification ISO 21448:2022.

The absence of unreasonable risk due to hazards resulting from functional insufficiencies of the intended functionality or by reasonably foreseeable misuse by persons is referred to as the Safety of the Intended Function (SOTIF). Unlike traditional functional safety, which focuses on mitigating risks that happen because of system failures, SOTIF examines whether required safety functionalities can be ensured in unknown conditions and without a failure occurring.

This "ISO 21448 Complete Training" provides a comprehensive program to the public available specification ISO 21448:2022, and the therein featured topic of safety of the intended function (SOTIF). This course covers the essentials as well as the technical aspects in performance of the safety-relevant functions.

• This SOTIF training provides an insight into the implementation of the "Safety of the Intended Function" (SOTIF) according to the ISO 21448 specification and the relationship to the ISO 26262 standard.
• The SOTIF training includes examples and short exercises with a focus on the field of highly automated driving.

We can also offer this training course as in-house training on site in your company.

Instructor-led training in a virtual classroom. This means the course is Live Online. Participants will learn through online teaching. Lectures, case studies, group exercises, discussions, problem solving, examples with explanation, assignments and/or quizzes happen in the virtual classroom training. Participants need to connect to the class from any internet accessible location. Each module is delivered live using webinar technology, creating a virtual classroom learning environment. Live sessions provide you with direct access to the trainer so you can ask questions, understand complex concepts and share ideas with peers. Webcam and microphone are REQUIRED to interact with the instructor and/or other participants.

The course content and structure are designed by the domain experts from TÜV SÜD.

With immense experience and knowledge in the relevant standards, our team of product specialists and technical experts at TÜV SÜD, developed the course content based on current business landscape and market requirements.
