SafeDim - Data & Model-driven Dimensioning of Safety-critical Systems

The focus of the project was to develop quantitative methods for safety and reliability analysis. The goal was to enable the inclusion of safety as part of concept design and dimensioning of the architecture of E/E systems for heavy vehicles. For this purpose, the project developed methods and a stochastic modelling tool that also uses input from collected field data. The methods are also suitable for analysing the safety of new technologies, including autonomous driving and connected vehicles. 

SafeDim was a collaboration between Scania, KTH and RISE. The project was led by Scania, where research engineers in the project worked closely with product development teams, which are the intended users of the final results of the project. KTH contributed with a doctoral position. RISE had a smaller role in the project to investigate the methods developed by the project in relation to the standards ISO 26262, IEC 61508 and ISO 21448.
