Improve vehicle´s function safety with an approach investigating vehicle´s electromagnetic interference with its function safety

In this paper, an approach to improve vehicle´s function safety by integrating the analysis of electromagnetic interference with the analysis of safety function is proposed. It is proposed that vehicle´s EMI analysis should be carried out with vehicle´s function safety analysis. These two analyses should be carried out together from the beginning of the design of vehicle´s electrical and electronic systems to the final stage of EMI and function safety testing. Effects of the electromagnetic interference on vehicle´s function safety are discussed. The technical approaches to reduce electromagnetic interference so as to improve vehicle´s function safety are proposed.
