Functional Safety For E-Motorcycles: How The New Edition Of ISO 26262 Applies To Electric Bikes (Energy Storage Innovations USA 2019)

With increasing complexity pervading he automotive industry, increased efforts have been focused on providing safety-compliant electrical and electronic systems. ISO 26262 utilizes a system of steps to manage functional safety and reduce risk to acceptable levels for road vehicles. The newly released edition applies to road-vehicles, motorcycles, and heavy trucks. In this presentation we will discuss how ISO 26262:2018 applies to the battery pack and battery management system in electric motorcycles.

Dr. Hu's area of expertise includes semiconductor physics and device characterization.
