Concept of the 3^rd Generation of Reliability for Electronic Smart Systems

摘要

We present a novel approach for reliability assessment of the future electronic control units and smart systems. This concept of 3^rd generation reliability is based on application of hybrid prognostics and health management concept for the future safety relevant electronic control modules. This approach requires development of additional sensors and detectors to be integrated into the functional electronic units so that the reaction based on a current state of health status of the electronics can be triggered on demand.
