Abstract

Railway signaling system is the vital control system in charge of the core for safely train operation, its functional safety must be checked through sufficient verification. Until now, to verify the interoperability of developed railway signaling system, the on-site testing approaches have been applied after testing in laboratory with simulator. This approaches are some limited range of interoperable verification, so more systematic verification interoperability is required. In this paper, the three phases of interoperability verification for railway signaling system was proposed, and methodology for each phases are represented. And also The interoperability validation methodology and supported testing tool for railway signaling system is represented in this paper

철도신호시스템은 열차의 운행을 책임지는 바이탈한 제어장치로서, 실제 사용 전에 충분한 시험을 통해 그 기능 안전성이 검증되어야 한다. 지금까지는 대부분 실험실에서 시뮬레이터에 의한 개발한 철도신호시스템의 검증을 수행 후 철도현장에 설치하여 다른 장치와 운용성 테스팅 단계를 거치게 된다. 이러한 접근방법은 일부 제한된 범위에서 상호운용성이 검증되고 있어, 보다 체계적인 상호 운용성 검증이 요구되고 있다. 본 논문에서는 철도신호시스템의 상호운용성 검증을 위한 단계를 3단계로 제시하고, 각 단계별 검증 방법을 설명한다. 또한 최종단계인 3단계에 적용을 위한 시험방법 및 테스팅 도구를 제안하였다.
