SOTIF Engineering Handbook: ISO 21448 and ISO/PAS 8800 Practical Guide for ADAS and Autonomous Systems Safety (Software-Defined Vehicle Engineering Series)

Master Safety of the Intended Functionality (SOTIF) for Autonomous Vehicles

As Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS) and autonomous vehicles (AVs) advance, safety engineers face a critical new challenge: ensuring safety not just during hardware malfunctions, but when systems perform exactly as designed yet encounter unexpected environmental triggers. SOTIF Engineering Handbook is the definitive, practical guide to mastering ISO 21448 and ISO/PAS 8800.

Written by industry veterans, this handbook translates complex regulatory standards into actionable engineering workflows, templates, and checklists. Whether you are designing perception algorithms, integrating LiDAR/Radar systems, or constructing a structured safety case, this book provides the blueprint you need.

Inside this Comprehensive Guide, You Will Learn to:

• Implement ISO 21448:2022 Clause-by-Clause: Apply normative requirements with real-world OEM and Tier-1 engineering examples.
• Define & Monitor ODD Boundaries: Establish testable limits for Operational Design Domains under diverse environmental conditions.
• Conduct Advanced SOTIF HARA: Analyze sensor performance limitations, algorithmic blind spots, and triggering conditions.
• Apply ISO/PAS 8800 ML Safety: Integrate machine learning and deep neural network safety requirements into your ADAS development.
• Execute Scenario-Based Validation: Leverage simulation, hardware-in-the-loop (HIL) testing, and test-track validation strategies at scale.
• Construct GSN Safety Cases: Build rock-solid safety arguments using Goal Structuring Notation (GSN) templates.
• Design Post-Market Monitoring: Establish field monitoring programs to track and analyze unknown triggering conditions.

Equip yourself with the tools to resolve the gap between ISO 26262 functional safety and SOTIF performance limitations. Secure your copy today and build autonomous systems that are certifiably safe.
