SAFEXPLAIN: From Vision to Reality
AI Robustness & Safety
Explainable AI
Compliance & Standards
Safety Critical Applications
THE CHALLENGE: SAFE AI-BASED CRITICAL SYSTEMS
- Today’s AI allows advanced functions to run on high performance machines, but its “black‑box” decision‑making is still a challenge for automotive, rail, space and other safety‑critical applications where failure or malfunction may result in severe harm.
- Machine- and deep‑learning solutions running on high‑performance hardware enable true autonomy, but until they become explainable, traceable and verifiable, they can’t be trusted in safety-critical systems.
- Each sector enforces its own rigorous safety standards to ensure the technology used is safe (Space- ECSS, Automotive- ISO26262/ ISO21448/ ISO8800, Rail-EN 50126/8), and AI must also meet these functional safety requirements.
MAKING CERTIFIABLE AI A REALITY
Our next-generation open software platform is designed to make AI explainable, and to make systems where AI is integrated compliant with safety standards. This technology bridges the gap between cutting-edge AI capabilities and the rigorous demands for safety-crtical environments. By joining experts on AI robustness, explainable AI, functional safety and system design, and testing their solutions in safety critical applications in space, automotive and rail domains, we’re making sure we’re contribuiting to trustworthy and reliable AI.
Key activities:
SAFEXPLAIN is enabling the use of AI in safety-critical system by closing the gap between AI capabilities and functional safety requirements.

CORE DEMO
The Core Demo is built on a flexible skeleton of replaceable building blocks for Interference, Supervision or Diagnoistic components that allow it to be adapted to different secnarios. Full domain-specific demos are available in the technologies page.
SPACE
Mission autonomy and AI to enable fully autonomous operations during space missions
Specific activities: Identify the target, estimate its pose, and monitor the agent position, to signal potential drifts, sensor faults, etc
Use of AI: Decision ensemble
AUTOMOTIVE
Advanced methods and procedures to enable self-driving carrs to accurately detect road users and predict their trajectory
Specific activities: Validate the system’s capacity to detect pedestrians, issue warnings, and perform emergency braking
Use of AI: Decision Function (mainly visualization oriented)
RAIL
Review of the viability of a safety architectural pattern for the completely autonomous operation of trains
Specific activities: Validate the system’s capacity to detect obstacles, issue warnings, and perform service braking
Use of AI: Data-quality and temporal consistency scores
SAFEXPLAIN Reaches out to industry at MWC24

Exida in SAFEXPLAIN: Extending Functional Safety Compliance to Machine Learning Applications, NOW
Exida is part of two technical pillars that are associated with two major work-packages (WP) of the project: WP2- Safety Assessment and WP4 -Platforms and Toolset Support. The intermediate results of which are presented in this text.
Celebrating Women and Girls in Science Day with advice for young scientists
We´re celebraiting the 9th Anniversary of #FEBRUARY11 Global Movement with a look into the women in science and technology in the project.
The SAFEXPLAIN projects counts with the participation of many women in science who are driving the project´s success. See what advice they have for young scientists.
