Abstract(E)	Safety-critical systems in most modern applications are designed in a way such that they provide a fail-safe operation when a fault occurs, to pose minimum risk to the user. As these systems become more sophisticated with increased functionality, it is important that their design incorporates functional safety concepts which entail detection of a potential harmful condition that prompts a corrective action to prevent hazardous events. In this paper, we discuss the significance of safety-critical systems along with the implementation of fail-safe designs in these systems. We also aim to provide an overview of functional safety as addressed in some of the industry standards and through a case study demonstrate how the concepts can be used when developing a safety-critical system.

About search

How to use the search box

You can enter up to 5 search conditions. The number of search boxes can be increased or decreased with the "+" and "-" buttons on the right.

If you enter multiple words separated by spaces in one search box, the data that "contains all" of the entered words will be searched (AND search).

Example) X (space) Y → "X and Y (including)"

How to use "AND" and "OR" pull-down

If "AND" is specified, the "contains both" data of the phrase entered in the previous and next search boxes will be searched. If you specify "OR", the data that "contains" any of the words entered in the search boxes before and after is searched.

Example) X AND Y → "X and Y (including)" X OR Z → "X or Z (including)"

If AND and OR searches are mixed, OR search has priority.

Example) X AND Y OR Z → X AND (Y OR Z)

If AND search and multiple OR search are mixed, OR search has priority.

Example) W AND X OR Y OR Z → W AND (X OR Y OR Z)

How to use the search filters

Use the "search filters" when you want to narrow down the search results, such as when there are too many search results. If you check each item, the search results will be narrowed down to only the data that includes that item.

The number in "()" after each item is the number of data that includes that item.

Search tips

When searching by author name, enter the first and last name separated by a space, such as "Taro Jidosha".
