Abstract

In order to meet safety, reliability and availability constraints for passenger transport systems, the manufacturers of railway control-command systems must develop specific computer architectures for signalling, switch control and automatic driving applications. Typically, these systems consist of a core (with one or two central processing units) and peripherals via which the computer communicates with external devices. In the case of some applications, for example signal boxes, the architecture contains a very large number of fail-safe True or False outputs. These functionalities are currently performed by conventional technology that uses discrete components or hybrid circuitry.
