5th Short-Newsletter 'Insight Light Automotive' - December 2011

Special Issue: Functional Safety

"Functional Safety is often seen as a collection of additional process activities", says Dr.-Ing. Bernhard Kaiser, Head of the Competence Center. "This approach, however, does not do justice to the topic. Due to the complexity of today‘s systems, such as in the area of advanced driver assistance or e-mobility, feasible and economic solutions for meeting the safety requirements can only be achieved in a team of skilled engineers. The engineers have to understand the functioning of the system and to have a cross-sectional view of the interaction of all components – Functional Safety is an engineering discipline."
