The opportunities and impact of automation: focus on automated design and testing
•
Insufficient specifications
•
Design errors
•
Software coding errors
•
Human errors
•
Mechanical failure
Most projects fail because of a poor project definition Most projects fail because of a poor project definition
Factors directly linked to software development process
Interface issues linked to HW development process

Demonstrate that a specified safety requirement is always satisfied, whatever the combination and sequence of events
WHY
Any method that determines formally the absence of safety and/or functional defects in a system
Using the same tools suite as design and testing process
WHAT
HOW
-
Safety assurance of large complex systems-
Mathematical proof that safety property is satisfied-
Reduces impact of design modifications -
Rapid non-regression analysis of design modifications

Specific benefits to signalling
14
The opportunities and impact of automation: focus on automated design and testing
Technical•Early operator involvement to clarify requirements
•Realise the benefits of increased system complexity
•Hardware/software segregation
−
Eliminate underlying technology constraints
•Commercial Off The Shelf tools
•Fewer errors with earlier detection
•Systems proven safe
•Up to 100% test coverage
•Increased ability to manage change
•Reduced impact of change

GE’s experience•Signalling engineers
-
focussed on value added activities-
have the key competences for the industry transformation
-
Adapt & transmit their competencies to engineers coming from outside industries
•“New engineers”
model the system making signalling engineers’
life easier
•New technologies increases the value of signalling domain knowledge
•Win-win scenario

Key takeaways
Blends domain knowledge with new competencies creating new sources of value
