As a service provider with years of experience in the railway-sector we can offer full support throughout all lifecycle-stages for development of new or modification of established railway technology.

We provide you with management and documentation for your projects or simply offer support for your in-house staff to tackle these topics.

Management

• Project Management
• Safety Management
• Admission Management
• Quality Management (safety plan, quality plan, V&V plan, implementation of processes)

Safety life cycle

• Risk evaluation (50126, TeSiP)
• Risk analysis (SIRF, CSM, 50126)
• Safety analysis (FMEA, FTA)
• Determination of SIL
• failure rates
• Safety concepts
• CSM assessments of safety relevance and significance
• Safety assessment of parts, system-architecture and control technology
• Safety reports (EN 50129, EN 50657)

Project documentation

• Specifications (requirements, testing, design)
• Evidence (verification, validation, safety)
• Planning (Quality planning based on EN 50126, EN 50657 and related fields)
• Verification process
• Installation (planning, commissioning, regulations, ECM2)

Admission processing

• Evaluation planning
• Interfacing between OEM / NSA / NoBo-Expert (CCS, L&P)
• Evidence documentation
• EC-declaration
• AsBo CSM documentation
• Interfacing with authorities e.g. Application, One-Stop-Shop, ERATV, ERADIS

Train control

• Control-systems of railway vehicles of any kind (locomotive, light rail, on-track-machines)
• Development of replacement systems for no longer available control architecture or as an interim solution
• Monitoring- and safety-controller for locomotive or light rail

Remote control solutions

• Integration of radio remote control systems (add-on)
• Integration of push-pull or multi-traction systems (WTB, ETB, ZMS)
• Extension of existing controllers, e.g. proprietary solution with WTB-interfacing

Diagnosis

• Cabin-display for newly developed vehicles or interface-compatible replacement displays
• Integration of systems for remote diagnosis with web-application for analysing

Safety-systems/Train-protection

• Retrofitting of ETCS
• Retrofitting of unique national systems (PZB, KVB, LZB, …)
• Modernization of driver’s safety device, deadman switch
• Modernization of train radio for passenger systems
• Integration of emergency brake override (UIC 541-5 and UIC 541-6)
• Extension of Door-Control Systems (SAT to TAV)
• Media-Systems, Cameras, WIFI, Networks

Reengineering and procurement of spare parts

• HVAC, Door-Control, Displays, Lighting
• Electronics

We offer to support your software-development with documentation- or implementation-tasks or provide turnkey control-solutions with all certification required.

Software documentation

• Quality insurance documentation
• Specifications (requirements, tests, design)
• Verification of documents
• Code-reviews
• System-architecture-review

Development and testing

• Software-development on your controllers (IEC 61131, C, C++, C#)
• Setup of testing and simulation environments, HIL-systems
• Testing and documentation

Control technology

• Displays for Diagnosis after UIC 612
  (based on in-house RAD-Framework for quick development)
• WTB/ZMS Multitraction
  (as gateway for train-control)
• Vehicle-control/TCMS
  for light railway and rolling stock
• Remote diagnosis
  with focus on non-reactive addition to the existing vehicle-electronics
• Safety-Control-Units up to SIL4
  For years we concentrated our safety know-how used in multiple vehicles into a single compact control-unit. Excerpt:
  • Safe speed-detection (SIL 3)
  • Tacho / Speedometer (Speedometer, up to SIL 2)
  • Monitoring of traction, e-brake (for light-rail)
  • Monitoring of speed, standstill, rolling
  • SiFa, deadman-switch
