Functional Safety of a Lane Assistance System

Project Overview

In this project, you are going to create a report that documents the functional safety of a lane assistance system. Your submission will include:

  • a Safety Plan
  • a Hazard Analysis and Risk Assessment
  • a Functional Safety Concept
  • a Technical Safety Concept
  • and Software Requirements

You will not be expected to do an entire functional safety analysis from scratch; instead, you will use the lane assistance example given in the lecture to complete the documentation.

Steps to Complete the Project

  1. First, go to the GitHub repository for the project. You will find all of the material you need to complete the project. The GitHub repository contains further instructions, templates and the visual assets you need to complete the project.
  2. Follow the project instruments included in the GitHub repo. Use the templates in combination with what you learned in the lessons to complete the documentation.
  3. Check your work against the project rubric.

Submitting the Project

  1. Once you've completed all of the documents, export the documents to pdf files. This will ensure that reviewers can evaluate your work.
  2. Check your work one last time against the project rubric.
  3. You can either submit the project as a GitHub repo or as a zip file. You will turn in these pdf files.

Using GitHub and Creating Effective READMEs

If you are unfamiliar with GitHub , Udacity has a brief GitHub tutorial to get you started. Udacity also provides a more detailed free course on git and GitHub.

To learn about REAMDE files and Markdown, Udacity provides a free course on READMEs, as well.

GitHub also provides a tutorial about creating Markdown files.
