Support activities for the approval of a life-critical on-board ETCS subsystem
Brief
Support the approval and management of the requirements of a life-critical ETCS subsystem.
Project challenge
to specify new product requirements and determine rail system regulatory compliance.
Solution
NIER defined requirements for updating a life-critical on-board ETCS subsystem, including the production of compliance matrices for national legislation on railway systems and the necessary product approval documentation. NIER defined requirements for updating a life-critical on-board ETCS subsystem, including the production of compliance matrices for national legislation on railway systems and the necessary product approval documentation.
Execution phases
Collection of client specifications and analysis of requests for changes to the life-critical on-board train subsystem currently in operation.
Coverage of client specifications and implementation of change requests by updating the on-board life-critical ETCS subsystem specifications.
Management of requirements through a dedicated tool and production of product traceability matrices.
Determination of railway system regulatory compliance with national legislation.
Production of documentation necessary for approval of the life-critical ETCS on-board subsystem and submission to the competent approval agency.
Definition of the operator manual for the interface to the life-critical train subsystem updated to the new specifications.
Achieved results
work done by NIER enabled the client to submit the new life-critical ETCS on-board subsystem to the competent approval agency. Furthermore, thanks to NIER’s support on various activities related to the overall product context, the client was able to drive the subsequent life cycle phases.
