DESIGN OF ROAD VEHICLES COMPONENTS RESPECTING THE FUNCTIONAL SAFETY PRINCIPLES

Abstract

This paper deals with the functional safety of road vehicles, especially the utilization of appropriate methods, procedures and models, in response to the new situation, coupled with the introduction of new standards. The paper was focused on the design of appropriate procedures and the utilization of qualitative and quantitative reliability analysis of motor vehicles selected systems, which significantly affect the road safety. To verify the actual levels of selected reliability parameters of equipment the reliability tests program has been created.
