Development of SIL4 Safety Software for the Fixed Automatisms of the Future Val de Roissy
The Simplified System
Realization of the Safety Software with the B Method
Siemens Transportation Systems (STS) has subcontracted with ClearSy for the realization
with B of the safety software for the automatisms of the future VAL de ROISSY:
alarm control unit (UCA) and automatic section drivers (PADS) for Siemens.
This software represents approximately 150,000 ADA lines once completed.The software is classified as SIL4, according to standards IEC61508: EN50126, EN50128, EN50129.
A few figures...
On the L1 VAL line inaugurated on 4 April 2007, 2 computers have been installed: the UCA and PADS (as many PADS as required - S for Section).
For the PADS software:
- 186,440 lines for the AS Ada safety code (AS - Safety Application)
- 30,632 lines for the AS non safety-critical Ada code
- number of mathematical Proofs: 62,056
- number of B lines: 256,653 lines
For the UCA software:
- 50,085 lines for the AS Ada safety code
- 11,662 lines for the AS non safety-critical Ada code
- number of mathematical Proofs: 12,811
- number of B lines: 65,722 lines
The number of effective B lines is smaller than that announced as comments are taken into account, including remarks which guide refinement.
A second line for Charles de Gaulles airport is due to be inaugurated in June 2007.
