Abstract:

The establishment of Safety Of The Intended Functionality (SOTIF) evaluation system and SOTIF design are the only way for wide application of the intelligent vehicles. To improve the SOTIF theory and realize the SOTIF design of Autonomous Emergency Braking System (AEBS), safety analysis of the control module of AEBS is conducted by using the method of System Theoretic Process Analysis (STPA) in this paper. Based on the results of the safety analysis, SOTIF evaluation indices of the control module of AEBS are proposed, which are then comprehensively quantified using the CRITIC method and TOPSIS method. In addition, the proposed evaluation methods are used to conduct a SOTIF evaluation of the AEBS control module in a prototype of intelligent vehicle based on real vehicle tests, and the rationality and practicability of the proposed SOTIF evaluation method for the control module of AEBS are verified by the evaluation results. Finally, the evaluation results are analyzed, and further the SOTIF improvement suggestion for the control module of AEBS is put forward according to the proposed SOTIF evaluation indices.
