Abstract: This paper describes a fault tree analysis of an automated freeway and how conformity to safety criteria can be demonstrated by fault tree analysis. The system is initially explained, followed by a discussion of hazard analysis, fault tree, and an analysis of the results. Readers are advised to consult "Methods for Analysis of IVHS Safety: Final Report of MOU 19" by the author to acquire background information in regard to this report.
