Modeling and Formal Verification of Counting Heads for Railways

چکیده

The demand for safety for electronic systems, especially safety critical systems, is high. Nowadays such systems are tested and simulated with a manually created set of test cases. But testing cannot reach a complete coverage for complex designs. Hence, we present a verification flow for Counting Heads for railways which are used by many electronic railway interlocking systems from SIEMENS. Our approach is based on SystemC, a powerful system level description language. Thereby, efficient modeling and simulation-based validation of railway systems becomes possible. The presented flow allows also for formal verification.

Efficient Design-Flow for Counting Heads

Nowadays railway systems are designed and tested in a conventional way, i.e. the systems are simulated with a manually created test bench. This has the advantage that the designers have a considerable expertise with this kind of work, but there is still a lot of potential for human failure. Furthermore, testing is very cost-intensive and can never reach complete coverage. Hence, an integrated d...

Modeling and Evaluation of Stochastic Discrete-Event Systems with RayLang Formalism

In recent years, formal methods have been used as an important tool for performance evaluation and verification of a wide range of systems. In the view points of engineers and practitioners, however, there are still some major difficulties in using formal methods. In this paper, we introduce a new formal modeling language to fill the gaps between object-oriented programming languages (OOPLs) us...

A model for specification, composition and verification of access control policies and its application to web services

Despite significant advances in the access control domain, requirements of new computational environments like web services still raise new challenges. Lack of appropriate method for specification of access control policies (ACPs), composition, verification and analysis of them have all made the access control in the composition of web services a complicated problem. In this paper, a new indepe...

Formal Verification and Validation of ERTMS Industrial Railway Train Spacing System

Formal verification and validation is a fundamental step for the certification of railways critical systems. Many railways safety standards (e.g. the CENELEC EN-50126, EN-50128 and EN-50129 standards implement the mandatory safety requirements of IEC-61508-7 standard for Functional and Safety) currently mandate the use of formal methods in the design to certify correctness. In this paper we des...
