RAILWAY APPLICATION

A maintenance of EN 50128, the Cenelec norm for dependability of railway applications software, was initiated in September 2004 by SC9XA Cenelec group to start the work on 2005.

The stability of the industrial Ni-Cd battery sales during the last ten years has been confirmed (Figure 5). Uninterruptible power supply (UPS) applications are taking the largest market share. Railways applications will maintain their development in countries like U.K., France, Spain and Italy. The back-up power to photovoltaic units represents a speciality market in countries where the equipment has to be used in a wide temperature range.

The efficacy of polyurethane and styrene butadiene rubber (SBR) as binders for ground rubber prepared from waste tires was compared to a formulation of a compound developed without binder. Without binder, the effect of both sulfur and accelerator content on tensile properties are studied, as well as the effect of ageing on these properties [29]. The suggested uses of the unbound product include rubber blocks, and ballast mats for railway applications.

This paper investigates possible relations between the AOP 52 and the standard lEC 61508 (lEC 61508 1998-2005). The lEC 61508 is a framework standard in the domain of safety-critical applications of electri-cal/electronic/programmable electronic (E/E/PE) systems. The following more domain specific standards are not considered to be suitable for comparison the lEC 61513 (lEC 61513 2002) for nuclear power plants, DIN EN 50129 (DIN EN 50129 2003) for railway applications, lEC 61511 (1EC61511 2003) forthe process industry sector and lEC 62061 (IEEE 61012-1990 1990) forthe manufacturing sector.

To evaluate the dependability of the positioning function, two simulation approaches are proposed in this paper. The first approach is a predictive analysis based on a simulation procedure using a Petri net model of the positioning system integrated in railway applications. In the second approach, a procedure based on measurements performed in an operational context is proposed. These two approaches are presented in the article with, in particular, quantitative results and the benefice of each approach.
