What you'll learn

Understand the Principles of SOTIF

Identify and Mitigate SOTIF-Related Risks

Develop and Apply Verification and Validation Strategies

Implement a Lifecycle Approach to SOTIF

Requirements

Basic Knowledge on Functional Safety

Description

This course provides a comprehensive understanding of the Safety of the Intended Functionality (SOTIF) framework as defined in ISO 21448. Designed for professionals in the automotive and mobility sectors, the course addresses the increasing complexity of automated systems and the importance of ensuring their safety in real-world conditions.Participants will explore the principles of SOTIF and how it complements ISO 26262 by focusing on risks that arise not from system malfunctions but from functional insufficiencies and environmental conditions. The course emphasizes identifying and mitigating these risks to prevent hazardous scenarios and ensure vehicle safety.Key areas of focus include the identification of functional insufficiencies, the evaluation of known and unknown hazardous scenarios, and the development of robust mitigation strategies. Participants will learn to implement verification and validation (V&V) processes that provide evidence of system safety and ensure compliance with the SOTIF standard.The course adopts a lifecycle perspective, covering the integration of SOTIF activities into every stage of system development—from specification and design to testing, deployment, and monitoring during the operational phase. Practical examples, case studies, and interactive exercises are included to enhance understanding and application.By the end of the course, participants will have the tools and knowledge to effectively manage SOTIF-related activities, improve system safety, and support innovation in the development of automated driving technologies. This course is ideal for engineers, developers, project managers, and safety professionals seeking to master SOTIF concepts and practices.
