ANSALDO: BACKGROUND

• experience in dependable Signalling Automation Systems

• experience in dependable Management Automation Systems

• experience in installation, commissioning, Validation Diagnostic and Maintenance of large automation systems for rail

ANSALDO:

ARCHITECTURES

FOR DEPENDABLE

INFRASTRUCTURES

Ansaldo: Architectures for dependable infrastructures

• Architecture FEASIBILITY STUDIES

• use of COTS

• DEVELOPMENT OF THE INFRASTRUCTURE (HW+SW)

• Development of typical APPLICATION with application SWs belonging to systems of different integrity level

• VALIDATION

Ansaldo: Architectures for dependable infrastructures

• SEVERE SAFETY REQUIREMENTS (reference to CENELEC SIL 4 for RAIL)

• SEVERE AVAILABILITY REQUIREMENTS

• HIGH FAULT TOLERANT PERFORMANCE

• GRACEFULL DEGRADATION

Ansaldo: Architectures for dependable infrastructures

• PROTECTED COMMUNICATION BETWEEN SYSTEMS THROUGH CLOSED AND OPEN NETWORKS

• COMMUNICATION BETWEEN SIGNALLING EMBEDDED SYSTEMS

• COMMUNICATION BETWEEN SIGNALLING AND MANAGEMENT EMBEDDED SYSTEMS

Ansaldo: Architectures for dependable infrastructures

THIS LEADS TO

• APPLICATION OF DIFFERENT INTEGRITY LEVEL IN THE SAME PLATFORMS,

• SPATIAL AND TEMPORAL FIREWALLS TO PROTECT THE HIGHER INTEGRITY LEVEL APPLICATIONS

Ansaldo: VITAL SW development and VALIDATION...

• UML METHODS

• FAULT TREE ANALISYS FOR TOP DOWN VALIDATION

• REAL TIME UML

• AUTOMATIC CODING

• Sw TEST cases, derived automatically by the selected methods and tools

• SYSTEM SIMULATION AND MODELLING

Ansaldo: SW VALIDATION:

• EVENT TREE ANALYSIS EXTENDED TO SW VALIDATION

• SW TEST CASES,

DERIVED AUTOMATICALLY BY THE SELECTED METHODS AND TOOLS:

the ANSALDO interest is in using the methods and tools in the validation of a SW application

WE ARE DEALING WITH LARGE EMBEDDED SYSTEM

CONCERNING :

• SAFE SIGNALLING

route control,

train protection

• SUPERVISION AND MANAGEMENT OF RAIL & TRAFFIC

• PLANT SURVEILLANCE

• TRANSPORT BUSENESS

A possible example of APPLICATIONs of different Integrity

level in the same VITAL COMPUTER :

• SIGNALLING APPLICATION (e.g. : Central Interlocking functions and Radio Block Center functions in ERTMS level 3)

• DIAGNOSTICS

&

• SUPPORT to MAINTENANCE

MAINTENANCE

INTELLIGENT SUPPORT TO….

• DIAGNOSTICS ALSO FOR :

PREDICTIVE MAINTENANCE

INTELLIGENT SUPPORT ALSO TO….

• design (based on RAMS data from field)

• data preparation for configuration of systems

• data bases of data collected from field

• methods to derive RAMS parameters from field data

• configuration of systems in factory or in field

• commissioning of Large Automation Plants

• validation

INTELLIGENT SUPPORT...

• suitable data bases (information is large, and differentiated for different users belonging to suppliers and clients )

INTELLIGENT SUPPORT…..

focal topics :

• open infrastructures

• wireless communication

• proactive computing

• embedded systems

• critical infrastructures interdependencies

INTELLIGENT SUPPORT...

dependability:

• fault forecasting for System evaluation

• security requirement are essential

(e.g. access to reserved information must be forbidden to non authorised personnel, connection with subsystem of different integrity level is necessary, intrusion of hackers must be avoided, etc…)

INTELLIGENT SUPPORT…ansaldo would like ...

• Participate to the NoE De-fine

• Participate to the IP De-sire for design & development and testing of suitable methods

INTELLIGENT SUPPORT…: low integrity Sw Requirement

• low cost validation for NON VITAL APPLICATION, even when implemented in vital computers

INTELLIGENT SUPPORT…:Additional lower integrity Sw

Requirements

• INCREMENTALITY:

able to allow in future new application services even not initially defined by the specification

INTELLIGENT SUPPORT…:Sw Architecture Requirements

• PERVASIVITY:

able to be used also by other clients with no or minor constraints on their platforms and SW architectures

INTELLIGENT SUPPORT…:Sw Architecture Requirements

• DECENTRALISATION

able to avoid a unique center and a unique network center to manage the exchange of data between the users

INTELLIGENT SUPPORT…:Sw Architecture Requirements

• EXTENSIBILITY

able to deliver application services both on old formats or protocols and on new ones (generally correspondent to new services)

INTELLIGENT SUPPORT…:Sw Architecture Requirements

• INTEROPERABILITY

open to all potential new users and services suppliers

INTELLIGENT SUPPORT…:Sw Architecture Requirements

• OPEN TO EXTERNAL

able to provide its services and information through the network, accessible through Internet (Buseness to buseness Portal)

INTELLIGENT SUPPORT…:Sw Architecture Requirements

SECURITY

• to protect the exchange of information with external

• to protect the internal information not authorised for external delivery

• to protect the internal information from intruders
