Achieving Full ASIL-B Level Functional Safety (FuSa) for Automotive Clusters

Integrating advanced technologies into modern vehicles has led to an increasing focus on Functional Safety (FuSa), especially for the Automotive Integrated Cluster Module (ICM) to ensure the safety of the driver and passengers. This paper highlights the need to bring certain ICM components under an Automotive Safety Integrity Level B (ASIL-B) context using Classic AUTOSAR. This paper discusses the challenges faced and the solutions implemented for achieving compliance with ISO 26262 standards along with the Classic AUTOSAR framework. We are proposing a standardized and structured methodology for the design of the components in compliance with the key safety principles, including Freedom from Interference (FFI), execution under privileged levels, and integrity verification, particularly by adopting Classic AUTOSAR frameworks. This paper also presents the Functional Safety (FuSa) goals for these components and also extend to their configuration management and updating strategies within the ICM integrating Classic AUTOSAR with Graphics libraries or tools (such as Qt or OpenGL) and deploying them over a Secure Operating System (OS) enables not only compliance with functional safety requirements but also provides a standardized foundation for communication, error handling, cybersecurity, and other essential Classic AUTOSAR services.
