As electric and electronic control systems have sharply increased in vehicles, safety accident has emerged as an important issue. Therefore, in order to ensure safety of the vehicle, engineers are required to identify the hazards utilizing PHA and HAZOP, etc. in the early phase of development and implement safety mechanisms to prevent them. HAZOP has been widely used in a systematic manner based on guidewords. However, HAZOP identifies malfunctions from the top-level functionality provided by the system, so it cannot sufficiently identify hazards during the system operation. This leads to restrictions in designing testcases, because the safety requirements are derived from only some of the hazards. This research aimed to provide a hazard identification method utilizing Use case description, which defines operation procedure of the system and HAZOP and a testcase design method based on safety requirements. We introduced a case study on Smart Key Control System in vehicles and compared with hazards identification results based on HAZOP, to demonstrate the effectiveness of this study. The result of this study could potentially reduce development cost and increase system quality by adequately identifying hazards and safety requirements and designing the related testcase.

The proportion of software in the automotive industry is steadily increasing due to the rapid technological development of automobile E/E parts. Because the automotive E/E technology is now on the basis of intelligent automobile and advanced safety automobile technology. The purpose of this study is to investigate the effect of organizational capability (organizational resource capability and management capability), process capability (process capability, customer Requirement management capability), performance dimension (motivation, participation level). In this study, we conducted questionnaires and statistical analysis on engineers (members of the Korea Advanced Automotive Technology Association) who perform research and development activities in the R&D organization of the automotive E/E part in South Korea. ANOVA is applied for the verification of the difference in performance measured by organizational capability, process maturity, and motivation participation level according to company characteristics (level of processing : supply chain configuration, annual sales, total SW development ratio). According to the results of this study, in order to improve the performance of ASPICE or ISO 26262-related consulting project, a different consulting approach strategy considering the characteristics of organization and personnel is needed. In summary, the analysis results for the three main treatment levels are as follows. The difference in organizational capacity, process capability and performance was found to be statistically significant according to supply chain configuration and annual sales, but it was found that the difference of response according to the proportion of total SW was not significant.

본 논문은 EPS(전자식 파워 스티어링)에 사용되는 Torque and Angle sensor 의 절대각 신뢰성 보증 방식에 관한 것으로, Inductive 방식의 센서에서 절대각 신호 신뢰성 보증에 대한 효과적인 방법을 제시한다. 전동식 파워 스티어링 시스템의 ECU(전자제어유닛)는 조타각도를 출력하는 2 개의 소자에서 버니어 알고리즘을 통해 360 도 이상의 멀티 조타각을 인식하게 된다. 토크&조향각 센서는 절대 조향각을 계산하는 1 개의 Hall IC 소자 신호와, 상대 조향각을 계산하는 ASIC 소자 신호를 사용하여 멀티 조타각을 인식한다. 인식된 조타각이 추가적인 검증 절차 없이 제어에 사용된다면, 센서의 이상 발생 시에 운전자의 조타감을 불편해질 수 있고, 나아가서는 차량사고의 위험을 발생시킬 수 있다.따라서 차량 거동 시 절대 조향각의 신뢰성 검증은 제어와 동시에 항상 요구되어야 한다. 특히, 유럽/미국 업계의 ISO 26262 표준 도입에 따라 절대 조향각의 높은 신뢰성이 요구된다. 본 논문에서는 이러한 요구사항을 만족하기 위해 측정된 절대각 신호를 기준으로 상대각 신호 2 개를 측정에 사용하고, Driving 시에도 절대각 기준의 신뢰도 향상을 위해 절대각 신호 1 개를 비교기로 사용한다. 최적화된 에러 기준을 근거로 절대 조향각 신호의 신뢰성을 보장하는 방법을 제안한다. 이러한 방법을 적용한다면, 정확하고 안정적으로 조타각을 결정함으로써 EPS 안전성 확보에 도움을 줄 수 있다.
