Common use of Failures Clause in Contracts

Failures. 2.11.1. An "ALKS failure" is any single failure specific to the operation of the ALKS (e.g. single sensor failure, loss of necessary calculation data for the driving path of the vehicle). 2.11.2. Failure mode" is the operation status of the system in which the system operates with an ALKS failure. 2.11.3. A "severe ALKS failure" is a failure specific to the operation of the ALKS that affects the safe operation of the system when in failure mode with a very low probability of occurrence such as generally used for essential components as e.g. an electronic control unit. Single sensor failures are only considered as such when accompanied by another influence affecting the safe operation of the system. 2.11.4. A "severe vehicle failure" is any failure of the vehicle (e.g. electrical, mechanical) that affects the ability of the ALKS to perform the DDT and would also affect the manual operation of the vehicle (e.g. loss of power supply, failure of the braking system, sudden loss of tire pressure).
