This paper describes a fault tree analysis of an automated freeway and how conformity to safety criteria can be demonstrated by fault tree analysis. The system is initially explained, followed by a discussion of hazard analysis, fault tree, and an analysis of the results. Readers are advised to...

This paper describes a fault tree analysis of an automated freeway. The design is characterized by extreme emphasis on vehicle-borne intelligence, and by the presence of a multiplicity of automated lanes. The system is platooned. At the end of the paper there is a brief discussion of the...
