Less Details

As autonomous vehicles demand higher performance and safety, traditional E/E architectures are giving way to zonal designs. This presentation explores how TSN and fail-silent domain controllers can be architected to meet ASIL-D requirements for timing, fault isolation, and availability. It presents a reference architecture leveraging TSN standards (e.g., 802.1Qbv, Qci) and lock-step computing with safety monitors to ensure deterministic behavior and resilience. Key trade-offs and implementation strategies are discussed, with insights from hardware-in-the-loop testing and alignment with ISO 26262 and ISO/TS 5083.

In this session, you will gain insights into:

  • Prioritizing safety-critical traffic while maintaining bandwidth efficiency
  • Using lock-step cores and watchdogs to ensure fast, safe failure handling
  • Linking safety goals to network and compute design with standards-based validation

Functional Safety Expert, CARIAD SE

Functional Safety Expert who shapes the future of safe mobility. I started with Z80 assembly and basic analog electronics and afterward worked as an embedded software developer in multiple industries. My passion for different applications led me to work in automated systems and control, I love control.
After learning what is under the hood, I flew back to the big picture to work in automotive applications and how to make these systems play safely. Therefore, safety blew my mind to identify the weakness in the system architecture by ISO 26262 & ISO/PAS 21448 "SOTIF" and convert it into a safe product, hence changing the future of safe mobility.
