The conference on system and software safety is a central meeting place for Scandinavian safety experts from different industries. It is an opportunity to share experiences and make new contacts. There will be an overview day followed by a day of parallel sessions with in depth presentations and discussions about different challenges, techniques, standards and methods.

DAY 2 - Wednesday November 24, 2021

Time Workshops
0815-0830 Day 2 introduction
0830-0930

Keynote: Fredrik Törner, Volvo Cars: The Automotive Safety Confusion – What’s the fuzz with Functional Safety, SOTIF and Positive Risk Balance?
0930-1230 Morning Workshops
Workshop 1:

Automated driving level 3 and 4 – How to argue safety and what counts as evidence?
Fredrik Sandblom, Volvo 
The challenge of putting self-driving vehicles on the roads is enormous. Automation affects everyone and the potential social benefits are huge, partly through increased traffic safety, but also increased efficiency and transportation availability. Automated driving level 3-4 safety is very different to showing that automated driving level 1-2 is safe. We intend for this workshop to be a facilitator for discussion and new perspectives on the matter. Depending on interests and desire, we will discuss these in smaller teams in a way that we hope brings us new insights, findings, and perspective.

 
Workshop 2:

MBRASA Safety Analysis,

Joakim Fröberg, SafetyIntegrity

Current functional safety standards (e.g., ISO26262), focus on single vehicles, machines etc. The new challenge is to conduct risk assessments to encompass multiple vehicles or machines where parts of the end-to-end function reside in the edge and where communication is done wirelessly. The MBRASA project will provide a workshop on safety analyses for systems-of-systems in relation to industrial best practice
1230-1300 Lunch
1330-1630 Afternoon Workshops
Workshop 3:

Safety for Testing Autonomous Vehicles at Existing Proving Grounds,

Erik Frick - AstaZero, Johan Degerman -SafeRadar, Marvin Damschen, Anders Thorsén - RISE, Arvid Pearson - Volvo Cars

Proving ground facilities around the world face a new challenge: how to include testing of autonomous driving (AD) vehicles into their normal testing practices. Today, the core component that keeps testing safe is a skilled, trained and experienced human test driver. However, many future self-driving vehicles will literally not have room to fit a human test driver.

This workshop will focus on the monitoring of proving grounds to enable safe testing of manually and autonomously driven vehicles. We will present results from the ongoing Vinnova project ETAVEP gathered on the AstaZero and Hällered proving grounds.

The workshop will be divided in sub-topics: Vehicle Test Requirements, Safety Zone, Global and Local Monitoring. Workshop participants can try out the Safety Zone concept in hands-on exercises and have a look at the ETAVEP vehicle prototype.
Workshop 4:

Safety Cultures in Automotive,

Daniel Skarin, Per Johannessen, Volvo Group

Safety Cultures are important to ensure safety at the same time as it is less tangible. This workshop will dive into how safety cultures for different roles affect operational safety. Roles includes product developers, line managers, project managers, drivers, operators and other users such as traffic participants. We will primarily cover road vehicles, both off and on road, at the same time as we invite other domains to contribute. The specific purpose to address after understanding different safety cultures is to see how safety cultures can be improved for the different roles.
