Overview
Welcome to the home page of the European Railway Formalization and Validation Project (EuRailCheck for short).
The European Train Control System (ETCS) is a control system for the
interoperability of the railways across Europe.
The EuRailCheck project was
promoted by the European Railway Agency for the development of a
methodology and tools for the formalization and validation of the ETCS
specifications. Within the project, we achieved three main
results. First, we developed a methodology for the formalization and
validation of the ETCS specifications. The methodology is based on a
three-phases approach that goes from the informal analysis of the
requirements, to their formalization and validation. Second, we
developed a set of support tools, covering the various phases of the
methodology. Third, we formalized a realistic subset of the
specification in an industrial setting. The results of the project
were positively evaluated by domain experts from different
manufacturing and railway companies.
