Task
The growing complexity of modern locomotives and ever more demanding country-specific licensing requirements mean that the amount of documentation required for licensing is increasing. The licensing process looks at the functional safety of vehicles and trains as separate systems.
Solution/Implementation
In driving forward development of its TRAXX locomotive platform, Bombardier Transportation utilised a new methodology consisting of a combination of written requirements, SysML models and fault tree analysis. The aim was to create a consistent set of base data, which would both serve as a basis for development and allow documentation required for licensing to be generated automatically.
