Summary on Grant Application Form |
|
This project will aim to demonstrate software techniques to predict the effects of faults on vehicle electrical systems containing software-based components communicating via telematic protocols. Typically, such software also implements fault-mitigating strategies, and the presence of such strategies needs to be taken into account when assessing the impact of faults.A longer term aim is to be able to use knowledge about the effects of faults on an overall system to generate fault-mitigating strategies automatically for such systems, possibly also recommending where controlled redundancy might improve the reliability of the overall system.This project will produce software which can identify the safety implications of failures in electro-mechanical systems which include complex software. The longer term aim of generating fault-mitigating stategies has reliability implications - it will improve the reliability of electro-mechanical systems by mitigating the consequences of faults. This will be achieved by avoiding system failure through improved software which uses available redundancy to improve the perceived reliability of the overall system.
