Getting Started

:car: Business Value Proposition

Accelerates ISO 26262 compliance for automotive/industrial systems by automating safety analysis while maintaining rigorous audit standards.

:gear: How It Works

graph TD
    A[Engineer uploads<br>system description] --> B(LLM identifies hazards)
    B --> C(LLM scores risks per ISO 26262)
    C --> D(Generates mitigation strategies)
    D --> E(Produces audit-ready reports)

:chart_with_upwards_trend: Key Benefits

  • Time

    • 50-70% faster than manual HAZOP/FMEA sessions
    • Instant report generation vs. weeks of documentation
  • Risk Mitigation

    • Pre-validated templates reduce human error
    • Auto-generated traceability simplifies audits

:warning: Governance Controls

  • Human-in-the-loop: All LLM outputs require engineer sign-off
  • Version tracking: Full history of modifications
  • Audit mode: Export all decision rationales

:computer: Technical Requirements

  • Runs on existing n8n instances
  • Docker deployment (<1hr setup)
  • Integrates with JAMA/DOORS (optional)

:wrench: Setup and Usage

Prerequisites

Enterprise-ready deployment: When supported by IT infrastructure teams, this solution transforms into a scalable AI safety assistant, providing real-time HARA guidance akin to engineering Co-pilot tools.

:warning: Validation & Limitations

AI-Assisted Analysis Considerations

AdvantageMitigation StrategyImplementation Example
Rapid hazard identificationHuman validation layerManual review nodes in workflow
Consistent S/E/C scoringRule-based validationASIL-D → Redundancy check
Edge case coverageCross-reference with historical dataIntegration with incident databases

Critical Validation Steps

  1. AI Output Review node in n8n
    Example: (by code)

    { "type": "function", "parameters": { "functionCode": "if ($input.item.json.ASIL === 'D' && !$input.item.json.redundancy) throw new Error('ASIL D requires redundancy');" } }

  2. Version Control

  • Prompt versions tied to ISO standard editions (e.g., ISO26262:2018-v1.2)
  • Git-tracked changes to ai_models/training_data/
  1. Audit trails
  • Providing a log structure for audit trails
