Rail

Software for rail operations, where safety requirements decide how it is specified, built and verified. We also bring SIL 1 experience: we took an app that gives train drivers real-time journey information through certification and maintain it today.

What rail asks of software

Safety integrity, not only quality

The app we built for train drivers is certified to SIL 1. The certification considers not only what the software does, but also how it is specified, built and verified. The relevant requirements therefore need to be part of engineering from the beginning.

Current information in the cab

Train drivers need real-time journey information while they work. The data has to be current and the software has to be dependable, because operations rely on it.

Structured verification

Safety-critical railway software is verified through structured testing, detailed analysis and test automation, and the results are what certification rests on.

Staying in service after go-live

Certified software still has to change and be maintained for years, under the same safety requirements. We still maintain certified software we built.

What we build for rail

The disciplines behind a certified app that train drivers work with.

  • Apps for train drivers

    Mobile apps that put real-time journey information in front of the driver, designed for use during operations.

  • Safety-related software

    Software specified, built and documented to meet a safety integrity level, with SIL 1 certification behind the app we delivered.

  • Testing and certification support

    Structured testing, detailed analysis and test automation that produce the evidence certification of mission-critical applications needs.

  • Maintenance in operation

    Ongoing maintenance and further development of certified software we built, after it has gone into service.
