In the paper, the modeling of Euro-Interlocking functionality is proposed using the example of a level crossing module. At the same time, a different approach to the problem of creating a description of the European interlocking system is presented. For the presented model, the development process is shown, starting from the specification at the level of basic functionalities, through the construction of the hierarchical structure of the entire module, to the use of the model for research purposes.
In 2006, the International Union of Railways (UIC) launched a multi-year project called EUROINTERLOCKING. The main goal of this project was to develop the functionality of the European core of the interlocking system used in railway traffic control (RTC) devices, based on assumptions developed by national railway infrastructure managers. To facilitate work on such an extensive project, 10 modules were functionally selected from the interlocking system.
Each of the modules was developed separately. The Polish railway infrastructure manager, Polskie Linie Kolejowe S.A. (PLK), excluded the level crossing module from its work. (…)
