【技术分享】系统安全的茶话会

上周的时候，北美来了个负责系统安全的工程师，顺道在我们这里打望了一圈，有机会和我们聊聊，觉得受益匪浅，记录一些要点分享一下。

考虑EV/HEV的安全，确实是一个技术活，传统车的安全问题基本需要考虑到，还需要考虑一些特殊的问题。就种类而言，参考文献1的分类，总需要一些人以另外的一些角度来审视汽车的安全性，其维度可分为正常使用/非正常状态；客户一般人使用和专业人员使用，从汽车的生命周期来看，从生产、停置、驾驶、充电、碰撞、营救、维修和报废，所有的状态方方面面的问题和场景都需要考虑到，这确实是需要一个专门的团队来干这个事情。

所以这里也就必须用一个Overall Safety，或者用System Safety这个概念来涵盖了。

危害的种类，大致可分为电气、化学和热，这个在文献2里面介绍的很详细；当然这里并不完整，考虑车的话还有一些机械、驾驶和碰撞等。

关于严重度，这里听到一个例子很有趣。不同的事件，每个人的想法是不同的。比如车用的部件发热至50～60度，如果客户碰到了会怎么办？我想一般人大概都是会选择S1，至少我也是这么想的，不过根据医院的统计10%的手皮肤接触过热事件可能致死；整个手掌接触会有0.7%的概率死伤。我暂时无法查证这个数据的依据，不过这也是一个很值得调查的议题，在不同的事件和评级上，相信工程师们会对此有不同的看法。

S0 No injuries

S1 Light and moderate injuries
S2 Severe and life-threatening injuries (survival probable)
S3 Life-threatening injuries (survival uncertain), fatal injuries

令我印象深刻的就是还有一点，对于汽车OEM来说，哪些是有约束力的法规，哪些是没有约束力的择善而从之的意思。以下图开发ECU的安全要求为例，在美国真正有约束力的是FMVSS、CMVSS，不同的汽车OEM有着自己的积累和方法，也不可能跟着SAE、ISO的标准走，特别是其为了使大多数人能接受，掺和了大家都同意的条款，框架太大了难免就会臃肿。

摘录自文献2和文献4的组合

按照参考5的说法，对于26262确实米国和日本的汽车企业不是很积极，不过参考6罗列的事实也是血淋淋的被严重打脸，光靠OEM企业+配套零部件的积累是无法规避自身的风险的，期待未来的变化。

最后一点就是，负责安全的工程师到底怎么去做。光是想想在汽车OEM里面，将车的安全问题，分解分类分析清楚（PHA），然后依靠安全功能分配至需求，由DRE来负责，由Validation Engineer来确认，这个细节过程都是供应商的开发团队，软硬件、机构和独立的安全工程师来完成，想要真正做到实处，非一朝一夕可以完成。有个经典的问题是，比如SDM安全气囊的系统，早在26262之前，历经10数年的技术&成本和安全优化，想要去改动，这笔帐谁来买单，又如何将一个成熟的部件变成一个需要验证的部件。想想就是一堆人吵架、开会和妥协。开发想快其实也不太可能快得起来的。

总之，这次约2小时的茶话会，让我理解不少，比看冷冰冰的标准、教材和案例，来的直接和清楚些。

•“Toyota officials described the problem as a "disconnect" in the vehicle's complex anti-lock brake system (ABS)
that causes less than a one-second lag.With the delay, a vehicle going 60 mph will have traveled nearly another 90
feet before the brakes begin to take hold.”
• “Brakes in hybrids such as the Prius ope rate differently from brakes in most cars. In addition to standard brakes
, which use friction from pads pressed against drums or rotors, the electric motors in hybrids help slow them. The
process also generates electricity to recharge the batteries.”
• “The complaints received via our dealers center around when drivers are on a bumpy road or frozen surface, said Pa
ul Nolasco, a Toyota Motor Corp.spokesman in Japan. "The driver steps on the brake, and they do not get as full of a braking feel as expected."
