Safety Microprocessors in Guided Ground Transport

by M. El Koursi, INRETS, Arcueil, France,
A. Stuparu, INRETS, Arcueil, France,



Document Type: Proceeding Paper

Part of: Applications of Advanced Technologies in Transportation Engineering

Abstract:

The use of microprocessors performing safety tasks such as Automatic Train Protection systems made more difficult their safety-worthiness assesment. In this paper we will first examine how the microprocessors have been used in safety applications in land transport field and we will proceed to a comparative examination of different basic architectures and present according to significant criteria a qualitative analysis.
