Domains

The multidisciplinary nature of the 3 market-oriented domains makes BRACE a valuable automotive development partner.

smart & connected

Cars are increasingly becoming part of a bigger system. Connections to this system and their communication require a specialist approach. It's growing independence from the driver also requires more focus on functional safety. With more systems connected, the demand for higher cybersecurity standards is rising.

sustainability & electric

The automotive industry is putting more and more emphasis on sustainability in order to meet end users demand for more sustainable products. The move to electrification in the automotive industry is an important trend that has an impact on all engineering aspects of the vehicle.

autonomous & driver assist

In this domain we focus on the part the driver plays in driving the vehicle. Multiple systems are already being developed to support the driver. Brace can assist in improving the integrity of these systems before being released. Major aspect in this domain is functional safety.

safety & security standards

Get insight into the most relevant international standards for automotive safety, cybersecurity, AI and autonomous driving. From ISO 26262 to ADS and AI frameworks – all structured in one overview.

Add value to your ISO 26262 development with confirmation measures

Verification activities have long been of critical importance in safety related development activities. The confirmation measures in the ISO 26262 are used to evaluate the correctness of a workproduct towards the rules of ISO 26262. In product development lifecycle, confirmation review checks if the requirements of the standard set for a work product have been satisfied by the work product that is actually created.
