Computer assisted passport for the architecture and safety of systems

Objectif

The technical objective of the project is to design and develop a system safety analysis tool, which will enhance current system safety analysis techniques, whilst at the same time reducing the cost of analysis. The tool will incorporate a specially-designed generic data model, using the EXPRESS modelling language and offering ISO STEP compatibility. This approach will ensure both flexibility and longevity of the design.

The results of the project will be two software programs :
- a beta version prototype system safety analysis tool, which will be developed into a marketed product;
- a beta version prototype multimedia training, user guidance, and demonstration package on CD-ROM.

The tool will be developed to a product as both a stand alone package, and as part of customisable multi-purpose tool suites by each of three developer companies based in the United Kingdom, Germany, and Greece. Also, it will be used in providing consultancy by the developers, and in relation to core business by the user partners of consortium, one of whom is a major automotive consultancy, as well as a vehicle manufacturer.

The training, guidance and demonstration CD-ROM will be used by all the partners, to aid in internal training in the subject of safety analysis, and the COMPASS tool itself, as well as to aid in dissemination and marketing of the product.

The users, who have diverse motivations, want the methodology which resulted from the EC DRIVE II Project PASSPORT to be developed into a computer based tool. Jaguar Cars have used the paper-based methodology, to be too time consuming in itself. TÜV Rheinland wish to use the COMPASS tool to aid in safety assessment of client systems, based on experience with PASSPORT, which facilitates common understanding and team working with clients. Lotus view the tool as a way of aiding in cutting the cost of FMEAs over a wide spectrum of components and systems, and aiding in achieving "right first time" engineering products, and enhancing its engineering consultancy activities. The developers will strengthen their existing products lines by the addition of the powerful tool to their armouries.

The tool will be designed in a modular fashion in order to enable the different developers to capitalise on their strength's and expertise and also to allow for phased development. Consequently the design will be implemented in Alpha version prototype that will undergo trials by the user partners. a beta version of the tool will finally be developed that takes into account feedback from the user as well as from market analysis of potential user needs in a broader context.

The COMPASS Tool will initially be developed within the automotive industry, where it is expected to achieve cost savings up to 700 - 1000 MECU per year, if the take-up of the tool is as expected; these savings will come from reducing effort in performing iterative FMEAs (vital for best results) and from facilitating team work and understanding of the results of safety analysis. COMPASS will be especially effective in industries where the safety integrity level requirement is low to medium; industries with high safety integrity level requirements will be already in a much less competitive market. However, the saving of money will encourage companies who "cannot afford" to do safety analysis to actually do it, and achieve good results with minimum effort.

Initially, the COMPASS awareness will be promoted through setting up of user groups in the UK, Germany, and Greece and from the presentation of papers and safety analysis workshops throughout the EU. The choice of three developers, spread across the EU will ensure, when the tool is marketed, that it will reach the widest possible audience. Each developer, as well as being geographically diverse, has a different market focus for its core business: process management, shipping, and banking process automation.
