Application of Concept Phase to Design an Electric Powertrain in Compliance with ISO 26262

Electric vehicle (EV) are not only the advancing powertrain technology, but they are the most popular. As the modern automotive embedded system includes a complex interaction of integrated mechanical structures and intelligent electronically control systems, so the need for advanced safety features has also become unavoidable. To ensure the functionality of an Electric Powertrain system, application of concept phase is an important input. This paper considered some basic concepts of Hazard Analysis and Risk Assessment and it attempts to show the bridge between conventional design flow of electrical and electronic architecture. Some of the considerations in the analysis done are representing how design methodologies are taken and shows it addresses new safety matric for Electrical/electronic architecture.
