Assessment and certification rules for digital architecture

Exploitable results

The results of the project are constituted by a set of Deliverables detailing the objectives reached in the different workpackages of the project : Definition and Identification of Safety Architecture - This report D1 investigates and prepares a precise and workable description of safety critical digital architecture which form the basis for developing the harmonised assessment framework. It is completed by an analysis of the standards dealing with safety as well as of the problem of assessing conformance., the D2 report concentrates on relevant standards and current - practices for assessment. It identifies the end-user requirements for safety critical digital architectures. Assessment and Certification process - The main objective of the assessment process is to prepare an impartial report giving enough information on the safety of the product to demonstrate that the product meets the safety requirements specification and to support the certification of the product. The assessment process is described in the deliverable D3 "Proposed Assessment and Certification Methodology for Digital Architectures". - Confidence in the safety, is obtained by examination of the product, by examination of all its representations and by the understanding of its development process. An assessment is composed of preliminary analysis of the product, observations, theoretical studies, and experimentation. The assessment of the product is based on the ACRuDA safety definition. Three types of architectures were used to formulate and refine the assessment method: DIGISAFE: a single channel architecture developed by MATRA Transport International and based on the coded monoprocessor (Report D4), ELEKTRA: a dual diverse channel architecture developed by ALCATEL Austria - (Report D11) and S.A.R.A. a hardware redundant modular, distributed control system developed by ANSALDO Trasporti - (Report D5).
