Rail Transportation
Unique EN 50128 Certified Code Generation for SIL 3/4 and Formal Verification Capabilities
Why SCADE Suite?
SCADE Suite is designed to reduce rail transportation software development costs while achieving the highest levels of safety, including EN 50128 for SIL 3/4.
Where can SCADE Suite be used?
SCADE Suite targets all applications with significant rail transportation safety implications such as on-board software, automatic train operation, power management, interlocking and train control systems (ITCS), signaling, ground stations, and other train and operations control applications.
Reducing Development and Verification Costs
- Coding, review and testing costs reduced by 70 to 90%.
- Manual quality activities cost cut down by 70 to 90%.
- Software update cycle time shortened by 65 to 75%.
The “Correct by Construction” philosophy
- SCADE formalism enables the removal of specification ambiguities. It also guarantees the bounded execution time and memory of the generated code.
- SCADE Suite enables early checking of the models correctness: software verification and validation activities can be performed at the model level and remain valid down to the code.
- SCADE Suite exhaustively checks the design consistency. For example it detects logical loops, typing inconsistencies and dead or deactivated design branches.
- The SCADE Suite formal verification feature enables the capture and verification of system-level properties, the detection of bugs without writing tests, and the automatic generation of counter-examples for failed properties. Designs are thus verified earlier in the project, eliminating late-stage bug discovery.
- The certification of the code generator eliminates the need for unit testing, thus enabling the fast and safe implementation of design updates.
