The earlier you can perform functional safety analysis in the design cycle, the higher chance of identifying hotspots and meeting target ASIL. Imagine the air bag in your car not inflating during a ...

Designs must be able to detect random faults and fail safely to meet standards, but still must consider the power and area impact of safety features. As the automotive industry strives for greater ...

Safe and high-quality food is crucial to both consumers and the food industry. Despite the measures taken to ensure food safety, contamination can still occur. In this article, we will explore the ...

Like nuclear power plants, fuel cycle facilities such as fuel fabrication plants, reprocessing facilities and storage sites deal with nuclear material and their operations need to conform to the ...

Checklists, pre-start checklists, jobsite checklists — they make safety people feel better about their job and the safety of their people. And rightly so. When compiled correctly, they offer valuable ...

The field of highway geometric design and safety analysis focuses on optimising road layouts to ensure safety whilst maintaining efficient transportation networks. Traditionally, deterministic design ...

Deterministic safety analysis is an essential component of safety assessment, particularly for safety demonstration of the design of nuclear power plants (NPPs). The objective of deterministic safety ...

This article provides insights into the importance of an IC’s pin failure mode and effects analysis (FMEA) to comply with functional-safety standards such as IEC 61508 and ISO... 1. FMEA and its ...

Failure rate or base failure rate refers to the number of failures per unit of time, typically in terms of failures in time (FITs) equivalent to one failure in a billion hours, which can be expected ...

The Federal Railroad Administration (FRA) on June 11 reported finalizing the transition to a “new, more user-friendly” online public safety data website as required by Section 22405 of the ...
