Development of Metric Analysis Module for Railway Signaling Software

열차제어시스템 소프트웨어 Metric 분석 자동화도구 개발

Recent advances in embedded system technology have brought more dependence on automating train control. While much efforts have been reported to improve electronic hardware's safety, not so much systematic approaches to evaluate software's safety, especially for the vital software running on board train controllers. In this paper, we have developed a software testing tool to evaluate train control system software safety, expecially "Metric Analysis" module. We have reviewed requirements in the international standards and surveyed available tools in the market. From this, we identified the S/W metric analysis module is required for software evaluation. So we have developed S/W metric analysis module for railway signaling systems.
