Riassunto analitico
Looking back, cars have been primarily mechanical in nature, but the past 20-30 years has seen proliferation of electronics content into it. Today, we are at a stage where electronics is defining and differentiating cars and seems like the trend will continue to make the car more of an electronic “device”.
The increase in car E/E system complexity and in automated driving assistance systems (ADAS), so of the autonomous drive level, brought Maserati S.p.a. to focus the attention on building a safe vehicle, not only from a passive safety point of view but also pointing a particular attention to the E/E systems of the vehicle.
With the trend of increasing technological complexity, software content and mechatronic implementation, there are increasing risks from systematic failures and random hardware failures, these being considered within the scope of Functional Safety. ISO 26262 series of standards includes guidance to mitigate these risks by providing appropriate requirements and processes.
This thesis work is the result of an internship carried out in the Functional Safety Team of Maserati S.p.a. It studies and deepens the development of the Functional Safety Plan for an High Performance BEV vehicle, starting from the description of the ISO 26262. In the first part of this work attention is given to an introduction of ISO standard and the state of art of the Functional Safety Management and its inclusion in the vehicle development process. Furthermore, the guidelines and best practice for the Safety Plan creation are analyzed and detailed.
As core argument of the thesis the Maserati case study is presented, here company needs and motivation of this work are presented, afterwards available Stellantis Functional Safety standards are analyzed arriving to the description of the specific Safety Plan for the BEV car model.
The thesis is meant to analyze the outputs and technical results of the work produced during the internship, additionally, its economical impact has been evaluated to provide 360 degree vision of what has been produced.

Abstract
Looking back, cars have been primarily mechanical in nature, but the past 20-30 years has seen proliferation of electronics content into it. Today, we are at a stage where electronics is defining and differentiating cars and seems like the trend will continue to make the car more of an electronic “device”.
The increase in car E/E system complexity and in automated driving assistance systems (ADAS), so of the autonomous drive level, brought Maserati S.p.a. to focus the attention on building a safe vehicle, not only from a passive safety point of view but also pointing a particular attention to the E/E systems of the vehicle.
