Abstract

This paper discusses how KTM AG company addresses ISO26262 functional safety challenges internally and with its partners. KTM has identified four key resolutions to success. 1st - breaking the silos between safety and other departments, 2nd - ensuring traceability between development items to cover the norms, 3rd - accessing the modularity and reusability organisation to make the most of legacy knowledge, 4th - automating the reporting to ensure engineers focus on design (not on document generation). KTM targets an environment embracing Model Based Engineering and a repository of crosswise (work fields) design items. With a strong fo-cus on system engineering, KTM’s ambition is not to provide an ideal environment but to intro-duce one solving its current issues for its present maturity. The environment is implemented and operational on a major KTM project as a proof of concept for future KTM projects.
