New safety requirements due to highly automated driving

Safe wiring systems use redundant elements to ensure that a backup is available in the event of a failure of part of the system. This minimizes the risk of failure and increases overall safety.

A secure on-board power supply ensures continuous power to critical systems, especially in vehicles where electrical power is vital to vehicle safety.

These systems are equipped with sensors and monitoring devices to detect faults and irregularities in the system and trigger reactions if necessary.

Safe wiring systems often include mechanisms to prevent fires and protect against short circuits, as these can be particularly dangerous in vehicles.

They ensure that critical systems (e.g. steering, brakes, ADAS) always have sufficient power and have priority over less important systems. 

More and more electronic systems are being integrated into modern vehicles. A safe on-board electrical system ensures safe and reliable communication and data transmission between these systems.

Safe on-board electrical systems should ensure continuity of operation, even in the event of faults or malfunctions. This is particularly important in safety-critical applications.
