Y4.01

Fail-safe and fail-operational strategies

Cards in this group · 4

  1. Y4.01.1Fail-safe means a fault drives the system into a safe state chosen in advance, not wherever it lands
  2. Y4.01.2Fail-operational means the system keeps working at reduced capability instead of stopping outright
  3. Y4.01.3Whether to stop safely or keep running degraded depends on weighing shutdown cost against exposure
  4. Y4.01.4Each subsystem's own sound failure choice can still add up to an incoherent whole without coordination
