SPECIFIC PROJECT OBJECTIVES
The objectives of the project sponsored by HORIBA MIRA include develop a unified and holistic approach to developing a range of assurance cases that could address a range of aspects of dependability for highly automated and fully autonomous vehicles, covering not only safety, but also reliability, availability and cyber-security.
EXPECTED RESULTS
The anticipated results may include:
- Review of methods from safety, security, other sectors
- Identification of approaches for non-deterministic/evolutionary features of AI
- Possible framework for dependability assurance
- Pilot demonstration
WIDER NETWORK CONTEXT
To work of this project should also contribute, in collaboration with the other PhD projects in the SAS network, to the development of novel safety assurance strategies which combine the architectural/design measures with the evidence in order to allow us to have trust in autonomous systems.
WORK LOCATION
The researcher will be based at HORIBA MIRA (Nuneaton, UK) and registered as an external PhD student at the Coventry University (Coventry, UK).
Short term secondments to other (European) partners in the network will also be required (6 months in total).
PUBLICATION AND PUBLIC ENGAGEMENT
In addition to preparing scientific publications, the researcher will also be required to undertake related public engagement and outreach activities to communicate the results to the non-scientific world.
