Considerations for Vulnerability Management in the Automotive Industry2026-26-06261/16/2026
With the emergence of Software-Defined Vehicles (SDVs), more complex software and connectivity technologies are introduced to support new advanced use cases. These use cases include, e.g., phone as a key, smart parking, summon vehicle, remote diagnostics and vehicle management. However, complex software functionality and external connectivity also increase the attack surface of vehicles and its ecosystem. As such we have seen various cybersecurity attacks targeting vehicles and OEM backends in the past few years. In this paper, we first perform a classification of recent automotive cybersecurity attacks. We further perform an analysis of these attacks and associated vulnerabilities considering the application of best practices of vulnerability management approaches including Common Vulnerability Scoring System (CVSS), Exploit Prediction Scoring System (EPSS), and Stakeholder-Specific Vulnerability Categorization (SSVC). CVSS is a standardized framework used to assign severity scores to

Configurable and Standardized Test Case Generation using VBA Script2026-26-05571/16/2026
Test Cases plays a vital and very important role in Software and System testing to verify the functionality as per requirements and meets the customer expectations. The traditional approach of test case generation in the testing field is predominantly manual, time consuming, and prone to human error but less expensive. Each tester tends to have their own approach to creating test cases, which may not cover experience-based test scenarios leading to inconsistencies, and lack of standardization. This lack of uniformity can cause testing deficiencies and make it difficult to ensure comprehensive test coverage. The objective is to develop an automation framework to generate standardized, configurable, modular, reusable and human error free test cases as per user defined inputs based on system requirement specifications. The framework proposed in this paper is known as the Automated Test Case Generator tool. This framework is designed using Visual Basic Applications (VBA) Scripts, in which

High-resolution option for the Sottek Hearing Model Tonality enables accurate order analysis2025-01-00935/5/2023
The Sottek Hearing Model provides a comprehensive framework for understanding the nuances of sound perception, including such aspects as loudness, tonality, roughness, fluctuation strength, sharpness, and impulsiveness. The principal model was first published more than three decades ago as part of a doctoral thesis. Over the past few decades, the model has been refined and recently standardized in the international standard ECMA 418-2. This standard addresses several psychoacoustic parameters, including a new approach to time-varying loudness based on a nonlinear combination of partial tonal and noise loudness. This is the preferable approach because the loudness of tonal components (i.e., tonal loudness) may have a more pronounced impact on loudness perception than the loudness caused by other components (i.e., noise loudness). Other standardized parameters include tonality and psychoacoustic modulation analyses. These comprise roughness, which is employed to evaluate rapidly

Impact of weld fixture clamp force variation on dimensional integrity in low volume Body-in-White build2021-28-021610/1/2021
Body in White (BIW) is an assembly of multiple sheet metal components. The BIW is the major contributor to the dimensional and structural integrity of an automobile. The accuracy and precision of the BIW is influenced by multiple factors involved in the manufacturing lifecycle of the BIW. Weld fixtures are the tools used for accurately locating and holding sheet metal components during joining. The primary motive of the locating and holding strategy is to arrest all degrees of freedom of a component. Geometric repeatability of the components is also of high importance. Component location is universally achieved by standardized locator pins and mylars that maintain the Principal Location Points (PLP) and Master Control Patches (MCP). In Low volume BIW build employs non-automated clamping methodologies in general, using manual clamps or toggle clamps. This paper studied the dimensional variation of sheet metal assemblies with variation in clamping forces in manual non-automated clamping

Defining an Open System Architecture Standard for Defense Systems19AERP10_0410/1/2019
For many years now, there have been efforts within the US defense community to adopt “Open System Architecture” principles (or OSA) for defense computing platforms. Stretching back to the mid-2000's there have been numerous efforts by all service branches to define sets of OSA principles or requirements on the embedded computing systems they procure and deploy. While these efforts have resulted in widespread adoption of POSIX functions for common tasks and a gradual shift in the use of common form factors and technologies such as VPX and Ethernet, there are still wide disparities between products from different suppliers, which creates difficulties for integrators. Product variations also make technology insertions or system configuration changes expensive, time consuming, and often locked to a particular vendor. In 2019 the US defense embedded computing market underwent a transformation. Started in 2017, the Sensor Open Systems Architecture group (or SOSA) is an organization

Defining an Open System Architecture Standard for Defense SystemsTBMG-3535510/1/2019
For many years now, there have been efforts within the US defense community to adopt “Open System Architecture” principles (or OSA) for defense computing platforms. Stretching back to the mid-2000’s there have been numerous efforts by all service branches to define sets of OSA principles or requirements on the embedded computing systems they procure and deploy. While these efforts have resulted in widespread adoption of POSIX functions for common tasks and a gradual shift in the use of common form factors and technologies such as VPX and Ethernet, there are still wide disparities between products from different suppliers, which creates difficulties for integrators. Product variations also make technology insertions or system configuration changes expensive, time consuming, and often locked to a particular vendor.
Guide to Package Integrity & Validation Testing under ISO 11607 and MDRTBMG-350859/1/2019
Updates to ISO 11607, Parts 1 and 2, have left many medical device manufacturers wondering about the future of their packaging designs. These changes come at a stressful time for OEMs, as Europe is also in the process of replacing the current Medical Device Directive (MDD) with the Medical Device Regulation (MDR) in 2020. The interplay between ISO 11607 and MDR is complex, and it’s difficult to predict regulators’ plans for enforcement.

SAE STANDARDS NEWS19AUTP05_085/1/2019
Today's fuel injection engineers, designers, and researchers are continually challenged to meet increasingly demanding fuel economy, emissions and performance requirements for gasoline engine-powered vehicles. The availability of established and recognized standards in support of this effort is critical to accomplishing these goals. And the work of SAE's Gasoline Fuel Injection Standards Committee (GFISC) to create and maintain these essential standards, guidelines and recommended practices helps to ensure the success of these efforts. The GFISC is responsible for developing and maintaining SAE's Standards, Recommended Practices (RP) and Information Reports that apply to both mechanical and electrical automotive gasoline fuel-injection systems. This includes the design and testing of associated fuel system component parts and assemblies used in spark-ignition engines. Committee members draw from automotive OEMs and suppliers, consulting firms, regulatory and other government agencies

Determination of Validation Testing Scenarios for an ADAS Functionality: Case Study2019-01-01374/2/2019
As the engineering community continues working on automated driving (AD) functionalities, the topic of safety validation still provides fuel for discussions. Despite the vehicles equipped with higher level AD functionalities ready to enter service on public roads, there is still no state-of-the-art process created for safety validation procedures. In this situation, vehicles with similar functionalities may end up coming through fundamentally different validation procedure, and the public may be exposed to additional risks. This paper fist formulates requirements which safety validation process needs to fulfill. The requirements are based on ISO 26262, PAS 21448 (SOTIF), and the state of the art requirements typical for safety applications. Then, the process of implementation of those requirements is sketched.
