These differences can affect how they use or respond to vehicle functions. In some situations, this may lead to foreseeable misuse and contribute to hazards at the vehicle level and this is an important consideration in Safety Of The Intended Functionality (SOTIF).\nBy describing relevant human factors and variability, we can better understand potential hazards and improve interactions between vehicles, drivers, and vulnerable road users (VRUs), such as pedestrians and cyclists.\nIn this thesis, you will study selected vehicle functions involving either a driver or a VRU. You will analyze how people may vary, how this could contribute to indirect foreseeable misuse, and how to capture your findings in a clear, structured specification.\nWhat you’ll work on\nSelection of representative vehicle functions involving drivers and VRUs.\nCarry out hazard analysis and risk assessment in the context of SOTIF (ISO 21448), with a focus on indirect foreseeable misuse and current methods.\nIdentify relevant human factors and variability for driver-vehicle and VRU-vehicle interactions.\nDevelop structured specification models to describe your findings.\nEvaluate the models with representative users and recommend how the approach could be improved and developed further.\nWhat you’ll deliver\nA specification model describing human factors and variability for selected VRU-vehicle interactions and selected driver-vehicle interactions.\nAn evaluation of the models’ reusability, information quality, and relevance to SOTIF.\nRecommendations for further development, governance, and integration into SOTIF processes.\nWho should apply\nThis thesis is suited to master’s students in Software Engineering or Computer Science, Systems Engineering or Safety Engineering, or a related field. You’ll enjoy the topic if you’re curious about how people interact with technology and interested in human factors, misuse scenarios, vehicle safety, Human-Machine Interfaces, or specification methods.\nContact persons and supervisors:\nLinda Sandberg, Unit manager, \nSoheila Sheikh Bahaei, Thesis supervisor, soheila.sheikh.bahaei.scania.com\nApplication:\nYour application must include a CV, personal letter and transcript of grades\nA background check might be conducted for this position.
