SAFE4RAIL
Fundamentally simplified TCMS platform – provide a baseline for a simplified embedded computing and networked Train Control and Monitoring System (TCMS) for modular integration and certification of safety‑critical, time‑critical and mission‑critical train functions up to SIL4. The generic platform will support mixed‑criticality integration and virtualization on reconfigurable computing and networking resources and demonstrate the concept with a SIL4 brake‑by‑wire system
Projectdescription
Safe4RAIL proposes safety concepts for mixed‑criticality Ethernet‑based networking and a mixed‑criticality application framework. The project combines cross‑industry best practices, models of computation and embedded platform technologies to develop proof‑of‑concepts that demonstrate core components of an integrated modular TCMS architecture. It includes a simulation and testing environment based on hardware abstraction and domain separation to enable early functional integration testing and to validate the brake‑by‑wire concept.
