Functional Safety Assessment Of a Generic Automated Lane Centering System and Related Foundational Vehicle Systems

This report describes research to assess the functional safety of a generic automated lane centering (ALC) system and three related foundational systems --electric power steering (EPS), steer-by-wire (SbW), and conventional hydraulic braking (CHB). ALC systems are a key technology that supports vehicle automation by providing continuous lateral control to keep the vehicle within the travel lane.
