Application of ISO DIS 26262 in practice

Automotive manufacturers and suppliers need to follow the requirements stated in ISO DIS 26262 since it is now published state-of-the-art. In this paper we report on experience gained with the application of ISO 26262 in a pilot project at a German car manufacturer as well as experience from various consultancy projects, and recommend a transition from a document-centric approach to safety analysis and associated documentation to a model-based approach.
