Functional Safety
New safety requirements due to highly automated driving
The implementation of functional safety requirements is a decisive factor in the evolution and further development of the on-board power supply system. Increasing complexity in the cabling and the use of new components in order to be able to react to changing (safety) requirements are the consequences for the on-board power supply system of the future.
In this dynamic development, proven safety concepts can now be rethought, created and evaluated. LEONI is available to its customers as a reliable system partner for the evolution of the power supply system and, in particular, for functional safety requirements in the power supply systems of today and tomorrow.

As a global partner, we currently cover the following key factors in the development and implementation of a safe wiring system.
Safe wiring systems use redundant elements to ensure that a backup is available in the event of a failure of part of the system. This minimizes the risk of failure and increases overall safety.
A secure on-board power supply ensures continuous power to critical systems, especially in vehicles where electrical power is vital to vehicle safety.
These systems are equipped with sensors and monitoring devices to detect faults and irregularities in the system and trigger reactions if necessary.
Safe wiring systems often include mechanisms to prevent fires and protect against short circuits, as these can be particularly dangerous in vehicles.
They ensure that critical systems (e.g. steering, brakes, ADAS) always have sufficient power and have priority over less important systems.
More and more electronic systems are being integrated into modern vehicles. A safe on-board electrical system ensures safe and reliable communication and data transmission between these systems.
Safe on-board electrical systems should ensure continuity of operation, even in the event of faults or malfunctions. This is particularly important in safety-critical applications.
