Safety and Security Requirements for an Advanced Train Control System

  • Conference paper
Safe Comp 97

Abstract

We discuss safety and security aspects of a safety-critical railway application: a future harmonised European train control system, which shall utilise public networks for safety-critical train control data transmission. We mainly focus on the derivation of (quantitative) safety and security requirements, in particular for the data transmission.
