Abstract:
Increasing functional requirements and system complexity on the one hand and decreasing time for development as well as cost reduction on the other hand are some of the challenging constraints that car manufacturers face today. Additionally, customers expect high quality products. To meet these challenges, a quantitative reliability estimation method, which can be connected with established methods, is necessary even in early development phases. The present paper illustrates a method for early quantitative reliability prediction of mechatronic systems such as in automotive engineering. The core of this method is to support a reliability-oriented system development. the method allows to show and quantify weak spots for systems
