A safety critical system is a system that leads to injury of people, damage of property and environment due to functional failures or occurrence of undesired condition. Therefore, to ensure the safety of a system, system engineers should consider the inherent hazards of the system at design phase of the system development, and also should design the prevention actions to minimize damage when an accident occurred. The objective of these actions is preventing the serious damage from accidents that can occur due to unforeseen circumstance. Recently, many studies have been performed to identify and analyze their hazards at design phase of safety critical systems. This paper suggests a safety analysis technique for analyzing the collision among those prevention actions to reduce accident and its effect by the collision of these actions that did not mentioned in previous studies. Through the proposed technique, it would improve robustness of safety and would help the design of prevention actions into system for the occurrence of accidents.

Non-functional requirements plays a critical role in designing variety of applications domain ranges from safety-critical systems to simple gaming applications. Performance is one of the crucial non-functional requirement, especially in control and safety systems, that validates the design. System risk can be quantified as a product of probability of system failure and severity of its impact. In this paper, we devise a technique to do the performance analysis of safety critical and control systems and to estimate performance based risk factor. The technique elaborates Petri nets to estimate performability to ensure system dependability requirements. We illustrate the technique on a case study of Nuclear Power Plant system. The technique has been validated on 17 safety critical and control systems of Nuclear Power Plant.

Safety critical systems are those in which a failure can have serious and irreversible consequences. Nowadays digital technology has been rapidly applied to critical system such as railways, airplanes, nuclear power plants, vehicles. The main difference between analog system and digital system is that the software is the key component of the digital system. The digital system performs more varying and highly complex functions efficiently compared to the existing analog system because software can be flexibly designed and implemented. The flexible design make it difficult to predict the software failures. This paper reviews safety standard and criteria for safety critical system such as railway system and introduces the framework for the software lifecycle. The licensing procedure for the railway software is also reviewed.

Derailment due to wheel failure would cause a tremendous social and economical cost in service operation. It is necessary to evaluate quantitatively the safety with respect to high-speed train. Although the safety of railway wheel has been ensured by an regular inspection, all critical defects cannot be detected in inspection cycles and the wheel has been replaced because a defect quickly become critical for safety. Therefore, it is important to calculate quantitatively the fracture limit and remnant life of damaged railway wheel in wheel-rail system. In present paper, the critical crack size of wheel for high-speed train is simulated based on fracture scenario and the safety of wheel is evaluated.

As many systems depend on electronics, concern for fault tolerance is growing rapidly in the safety critical system such as intelligent vehicle. In order to make system fault tolerant, there has been a body of research mainly from aerospace field including predictive hybrid redundancy by Lee. Although the predictive hybrid redundancy has the fault tolerant mechanism to satisfy the fault tolerant requirement of safety crucial system such as x-by-wire system, it suffers form the variability of prediction performance according to the input feature of system. As an alternative to the prediction method of predictive hybrid redundancy for robust fault tolerant, Kalman prediction has attracted some attention because of its well-known and often-used with its structure called Kalman hybrid redundancy. In addition, several numerical simulation results are given where the Kalman hybrid redundancy outperforms with predictive smoothing voter.

Integrated data processing for display of flight critical data and mission critical data was conducted without additional display instruments using glass cockpit design. Based on a pre-designed flight critical system and a mission critical system, this paper shows an optimal design of subsystem integration. The design satisfies safety requirements of flight control systems(FCS) and requires minimized modification of pre-designed systems. By conducting integration test using System Integration laboratory(SIL), it is confirmed that the introduced design approach meets the safety requirements of the MEP system.

오늘날 우리가 사용하고 있는 시스템은 날이 갈수록 규모 면에서 대형화되고, 기능면에서 복잡해지고 있다. 이런 복잡성의 증가로 시스템 에러 발생가능성은 더욱 높아졌다. 특히, safety-critical 시스템의 경우 에러가 발생했을 때 인간과 생태계에 엄청난 영향을 미치기 때문에 더욱 신중한 개발 과정이 필요하다. 따라서 정형기법을 이용한 safety-critical 시스템의 개발방법론이 나오게 되었다. 본 논문에서는 대표적인 safety-critical 시스템인 원자력 발전소 시스템에서 Digital Plant Protection System(DPPS)를 가지고 어떻게 방법론이 적용되는지를 보여준다. Software Cost Reduction(SCR)이라는 정형 명세 도구로 명세를 하였고, SPIN 이라는 정형 검증 도구로 그 특성(property)을 검증하였다.

Safety Critical 시스템은 예상치 못한 오류가 발생했을 시 인명, 재산 및 심각한 환경 피해 등이 발생 할 수 있는 임베디드 시스템이다. Safety Critical 시스템에는 많은 위험성들이 잠재적으로 존재하기 때문에 치명적인 사고가 발생할 수 있다. 이러한 문제를 방지하기 위해 시스템에 존재하는 위험성을 분석하는 활동이 중요시 되고 있다. 본 연구에서는 Safety Critical 시스템의 잠재적인 위험성들을 분석하고 이를 아키텍처 설계에 반영함으로써 시스템의 안전성을 향상시키기 위한 Hazard Perspective를 제안한다. 제안하는 Hazard Perspective는 위험성 분석으로 산출된 정보들과 SSR(System Safety Requirement)을 시스템의 안전을 보장하기 위해 제시된 여러 Safety Architectural Tactics와 매핑하여 아키텍처 설계에 반영시킴으로써 시스템의 안전성을 향상시키도록 한다.
