Esterel SCADE Suite™ for EN 50128 Rail Automation Systems

As many in our industry know rail traffic has doubled in the last 20 years. This growth is expected to accelerate due to soaring fuel prices and as the air transportation market shrinks and becomes less predictable and less desirable. Software developers of railway control and protection systems must continue to improve productivity without sacrificing safety. EN 50128, the standard for developing applications within this rigorous environment, is a requirement that ensures the safety integrity level (SIL) of the applications that are developed. The SIL requirements for these systems continue to shift as well, from SIL 2 to SIL 3/4. As a result, engineering teams and software managers developing and using these safety-critical systems are moving to formal automation methods for modeling, verification and implementation.

SCADE Suite for Embedded Control Application Development

SCADE Suite was developed specifically for software developers of safety-critical control applications. It enables them to shorten the application's time-to-certification. SCADE Suite is proven to dramatically shorten the development cycle by supporting and automating the development workflow, from requirements through deployment, test and maintenance. As a formal, model-based development environment supporting platform independence, SCADE Suite offers domain- specific modeling, verification through simulation and formal methods and certified code generation to safety-critical software application developers. SCADE Suite is formally defined with key safety objectives in mind and in close connection with safety-critical application suppliers and OEMs. In fact, the SCADE Suite KCG™ Code Generator is certified to EN 50128 SIL 3/4 by TÜV SÜD. SCADE Suite was utilized in the development and deployment of a number of proven large train control, interlocking and signaling systems, including those by Alstom Transportation, AREVA TA, Siemens Rail Transportation and Thales Rail Signaling Systems. No other modeling tool on the market offers such a reference base of certified deployed applications.
