1 Introduction

1.1 Purpose

Validation Plan is planning document which plans validation performance for integrated item at Vehicle level. After HW, SW development, the hardware and software elements are integrated and tested to form an item that is then integrated into a vehicle. Once integrated at the vehicle level, safety validation is performed to provide evidence of functional safety with respect to the safety goals.

Therefore the Validation Plan describes all validation activities which shall be carried out for this IWV project. It is fully compliant to the requirements of ISO 26262 Part4 paragraph 5.4.2, 6.4.6 and 9.4.2.

The objective of Safety Validation is described in ISO 26262.

The first objective is to provide evidence of compliance with the safety goals and that the functional safety concepts are appropriate for the functional safety of the item.

The second objective is to provide evidence that the safety goals are correct, complete and fully achieved at the vehicle level.

1.2 Scope

This plan is useful for validation activities which should be performed at vehicle level by IWV Development Project.

This document describes the following information for IWV validation:

Ythe configuration of the item subjected to validation

Ythe calibration of the item subjected to validation

YValidation procedures

Ytest cases

Ydriving maneuvers

Yacceptance criteria

Ythe equipment and required environmental conditions.

1.3 Definitions, Acronyms, and Abbreviations

All terms, acronyms and abbreviations which are required to correctly interpret this document are listed as follows.

3 Safety Strategy and Processes

3.1 Overview

The Validation Plan is a requirement of the Automotive Functional Safety Standard ISO 26262.

Internal and external safety inspectors may use this System Validation Plan as the basis for assessing how and to what extent safety-related issues have been addressed and treated during development of a safety critical system in the automotive domain.

3.2 Validation Test objectives

Validation plan must satisfy the following requirements:

- The safety activities for the product development at the system level shall be planed including determination of appropriate methods and measures during design and integration (5.4.1)

- The validation activities shall be planned (5.4.2)

3.3 Safety Validation (Item development life cycle)

Following figure shows that when it must be performed according to safety activity cycle for Safety Validation. Timing for performing according to safety activity cycle for Safety Validation is shown in figure 4-3.

Figure 1 : Reference phase of Safety Validation

3.4 Validation Processes

The safety goals of the item shall be validated at the vehicle level by evaluating the controllability, effectiveness of safety measures, external measures and other technologies.

And the results of the validation shall be evaluated. Validation process is like below.

Validation Start

Safety Goal Validation

- Operating scenario

- Intended use

- Foreseeable misuse

- Safety Measure

- External Measure

- Other Technology

- Positive test of Function

- Fault Injection Test

- Simulation

- Fleet Test

- User test under real-life condition

Result Evaluation

4 Item Description

4.1 Item overview

4.1.1 System Component

Figure 3 : Sketch of <fill in system name>

4.1.2 Safety Goal of <fill in system name>

The safety goals for validation test are listed in the following table. SPF shall be documented by reference of FMEA, FTA analysis report.

Table 6 Safety goal of <fill in system name>

4.2 Configuration

Validation tester shall check configuration of IWV through scanning tool before testing

Table 6 Configuration Data

4.3 Calibration

For domestic market, IWV shall use calibration data for domestic market; IWV shall use calibration data for EU and general market because the structure of vehicle is different according to market. Therefore validation tester shall check calibration ID through scanning tool before testing.
