Connects:
Safety
More than preventing failures, Safety in complex systems is an emergent property. It’s achieved by applying principles across the system’s life to identify hazards, manage risks, and ensure operation without harm within defined limits.
Autonomy
Beyond simple automation, Autonomy is a system’s capability to sense, decide, and act independently within a defined area. It allows systems to adapt and operate effectively with reduced human oversight.
STPA Method
Moving beyond traditional methods focused solely on component failures, STPA provides a powerful framework based on systems theory and control theory to identify unsafe interactions and control flaws – the root causes of accidents in today’s complex Systems.
Development Process
More than just building, the Development Process is a structured framework guiding the transformation of needs into a realized system. It’s an iterative approach covering definition, design, building, and verification across the system’s life.
What is STPA Method?
The Systems-Theoretic Process Analysis (STPA) method offers a powerful approach to safety analysis for modern, complex systems. STPA shifts focus from individual component failures to unsafe interactions and flawed control actions within the system as a whole.
Based on foundational concepts from systems theory and control theory, STPA systematically identifies how losses (accidents) can occur through inadequate control, even when components are functioning as designed.
Proactive identification of a wider range of potential accident causes, fits perfectly for autonomous systems. Especially for complex software, human interaction, and organisational factors. This method provides more comprehensive understanding of system risk than traditional reliability-based techniques.

Safetonomy Testimonials
Our policy is very simple: Success of our partners, is our success.
I am delighted to share my experience working with Mateusz Bialas on an autonomous ship project at HAV Group. Mateusz made significant contributions to this project by leading the STPA analysis, organizing STPA workshops, and ensuring detailed documentation throughout the process.
Mateusz is a very pleasant, hardworking, and conscientious individual.
I highly recommend Mateusz for any future projects and collaborations.
