  title = {Safety and Security Analysis of AEB for L4 Autonomous Vehicle Using STPA},
  abstract = {<p>Autonomous vehicles (AVs) are coming to our streets. Due to the presence of highly complex software systems in AVs, there is a need for a new hazard analysis technique to meet stringent safety standards. System Theoretic Process Analysis (STPA), based on Systems Theoretic Accident Modeling and Processes (STAMP), is a powerful tool that can identify, define, analyze and mitigate hazards from the earliest conceptual stage deployment to the operation of a system. Applying STPA to autonomous vehicles demonstrates STPA s applicability to preliminary hazard analysis, alternative available, developmental tests, organizational design, and functional design of each unique safety operation.</p>

<p><br />
This paper describes the STPA process used to generate system design requirements for an Autonomous Emergency Braking (AEB) system using a top-down analysis approach to system safety. The paper makes the following contributions to practicing STPA for safety and security:<br />
1. It describes the incorporation of safety and security analysis in one process and discusses the benefits of this;<br />
2. It provides an improved, structural approach for scenario analysis, concentrating on safety and security;<br />
3. It demonstrates the utility of STPA for gap analysis of existing designs in the automotive domain;<br />
4. It provides lessons learned throughout the process of applying STPA and STPA.</p>
