As automotive electronics technology advances rapidly, ensuring vehicle safety and compliance has become a critical challenge during the development process. Polarion ALM, Siemens’ Application Lifecycle Management solution, provides a comprehensive toolset specifically designed for automotive projects. It enables development teams to manage workflows more efficiently—particularly when adhering to standards such as ISO 21434, ISO 26262, and ASPICE—enhancing both safety and regulatory compliance.



Enhancing Compliance and Functional Safety

Polarion ALM supports a range of essential standards in automotive development, including ISO 21434, ISO 26262, and ASPICE, each of which imposes stringent requirements on process safety and compliance. With Polarion’s V-Model and built-in Traceability Matrix, teams can easily manage dependencies across requirements, design, testing, and validation, ensuring that outcomes at every development stage meet applicable standards.


ISO 21434: Addressing Cybersecurity in Automotive Systems

Polarion enables developers to define and manage the cybersecurity requirements for every network module, helping ensure that all components are aligned with ISO 21434. This proactive approach helps prevent potential cyber-attacks and data breaches in today’s increasingly connected vehicles.



ISO 26262: Supporting Functional Safety in Automotive Systems

In addition to cybersecurity, Polarion also facilitates the definition of safety requirements for each vehicle control module and ensures that all critical components comply with ISO 26262. This reduces the risk of failure, contributing to improved road safety and higher vehicle reliability.


For example, consider the airbag system—a component directly tied to passenger safety. With ISO 26262, manufacturers can rigorously test and validate airbag functionality, ensuring proper deployment in emergencies and preventing accidental activation under non-critical conditions. Meanwhile, ISO 21434 helps protect against malicious triggers—such as hacker commands—that could cause unintended airbag deployment in the era of connected vehicles.


As demonstrated in the above examples, ISO 21434 and ISO 26262 serve very different purposes. Traditionally, teams may have relied on extensive documentation and siloed communication to manage these standards. However, with Polarion, both standards can be integrated within a single platform, significantly reducing redundancy and bridging communication gaps between departments.



Seamless Integration with PLM

Polarion also integrates seamlessly with Siemens Teamcenter, a leading Product Lifecycle Management (PLM) solution. This integration enhances cross-departmental collaboration, streamlines end-to-end development—from design to production—and accelerates time-to-market.



Conclusion

Polarion ALM is a powerful solution for modern automotive electronics development. From requirements management to testing and validation, it provides full traceability and supports industry standards such as ISO 21434 and ASPICE. By implementing Polarion, organizations can not only meet stringent compliance demands but also significantly improve development efficiency.
