Functional Safety (FSM)

Functional Safety Management

Today’s vehicles offer a wide range of functions. Some provide comfort support for driving, others provide a higher level of safety to the driver. Increasing complexity drives the need for reliable engineering in order to avoid or at least detect and mitigate malfunctions which would lead to any person being injured.  Following state of the art for definition, design, and implementation of any system must therefore always be the target. Fulfilling mandatory functional safety standards like ISO 26262 are the key to this path.

Your benefits

  • Your product will be compliant with state of the art functional safety norms and standards.
  • Premium functional safety management support for newly developed as well as existing products.
  • Our service is scalable to your wishes and needs. It is also compatible with other services and products of Continental.
  • We enable your staff to take full advantage of the potential existing tools and methods for the development of safe products.

The functional safety development teams at CES are the largest within the Continental corporation and have more than 100 person-years of experience. These specialists work in all vehicle domains, such as Chassis, ADAS, Infotainment, Powertrain, and Body. For each different industry, CES follows the relevant standards. Some of them are enumerated in the picture.

For our customers, CES functional safety engineers can provide selective support like functional safety training or they can take over a complete set of functional safety work products of system development projects, like new radar, motorbike, or even truck development.
