Objective
The first objective of this project is to specify the procurement standards that will be required of both computer hardware and software components for use in road transport systems. The standards will specify the design methodologies that should be followed in order to produce products of acceptable quality and predictable performance. The scope of the standards will include computer systems used in vehicles, on the road side and computer systems used in some centralised or network configurations. These standards will, certain ways, be analogous to software and hardware standards used in the aviation industry.
The second objective of this project is concerned with the process of certification by appropriate National or European Commission regulatory bodies of equipment for use in road transport systems. Initially a survey of the state of the art in standards for safety critical software, tools and techniques for the development of safety critical software and standards and techniques of testing hardware will be produced. Based on the findings of this survey draft standards for software and hardware and a safety classification for electronic systems will be developed. These classes will depend on safety implications of system failure an will impose requirements for documentation and test procedures.
The main objective of the research was to propose a certification procedure to ensure that the electronic hardware and software used in road transport informatics (RTI) systems, which are safety critical, are produced to the highest possible standards.
Research focussed on the following issues:
standards for testing computer hardware and software:
safety classification and corresponding requirements;
demonstrator cases;
safety programme plans;
safety standards on hardware and software;
standards for certification and type approval.
Main Deliverables:
Proposal for a procedure for safety submissions for RTI systems.
