Failure Modes and Effects Analysis Using Virtual Prototyping System with Microcontroller Model for Automotive Control System

Abstract We propose a virtual prototyping system that can evaluate failure mode and effect analysis (FMEA). The virtual prototyping system which consists of co-simulation environment between mechanics model and microcontroller model is integrated a fault-injection system that can inject faults into SRAM. This approach was applied to a validation of vehicle engine control. We observed that an abnormal system behavior occurred by SRAM fault. Thus the virtual prototyping system with fault-injection system can be performed a vehicle engine control behavior without actual components when fault occurred.
