A Proposal of Autonomous Decentralised Software Architecture for Safety-related System and Its Application to Railway Signalling System

The Safety Level of Railway Infrastructure and Its Correlation with the Cost of Preventive and Mitigation Measures

This paper develops a methodology which allows the correlation between the cost which is required for the application of preventive and mitigation measures dealing with accidents which occur within a railway system and the improvement of the level of safety as a result from their implementation. The safety level is expressed either quantitatively, by the decrease of “fatality risk” indicator...

The Application of Automation Theory to Railway Signaling Systems: the Turkish National Railway Signaling Project Otomasyon Teori̇si̇ni̇n Demi̇ryolu Si̇nyali̇zasyon Si̇stemleri̇ne Uygulanmasi: Ulusal Demi̇ryolu Si̇nyali̇zasyon Projesi̇

Özet When compared with the other transportation systems, railway systems are economical, safer and more environment friendly. Despite all these features, investments on railways in Turkey remained quite restricted in comparison to other European countries. The initial construction costs of railways are high and developing its signaling system also requires a lot of attention. Signaling system ...

The Role of Data in Safety-Related Railway Control Systems

In the production of a computer-based safetyrelated system, it is common to partition the hardware and software elements into a system architecture. The software part of such an arrangement will generally include both the instructions that are executed by the processor(s), and the data that is used and produced by these instructions. In some cases, a large amount of static or configuration data...

The Reuse of Historical Railway Stations in Turkey

In this paper, the build and survived railway stations over the time at which first railway lineconstruction started at Turkey until the present had been examined and the ones which were out of use and lost theiroriginal function with time had been determined. Also the determined building stock had been evaluated based onthe principle of giving new function to the old buildings, in especial of ...
