Abstract

The complexity of railway control system makes some requirement deficiencies hard to find, which results in system failures. It is essential to locate those deficiencies using logs recorded during failure events. In this paper, a model checking based failure analysis approach was proposed and applied to a case of abnormal emergency brake. First, a system model describing the system requirement and an event model depicting the logs were constructed. Next the compositional model was verified through model checking in UPPAAL which then produced a counterexample trace that describes the system behaviour in the failure event. By analysing this trace, an inadequacy was found in the requirement and a modification strategy was brought up which was formally verified to be effective.

Footnotes
1
Interlocking (IL) is a widely used signalling system which works together with CTCS-3 to ensure safety, while not included in it.
 
2
It is only possible when each root event has different intermediate event directly connected to it. We will make it an assumption in this paper.
 
3
Other solutions are possible, like the one suggested in CTCS-3 technical scheme that track state information is transferred though RBCs.
 
4
When a train receives a CEM, it will first check if it has already passed the end of this CEM, then initiate an emergency brake if not, or ignore this CEM otherwise.
