Modular software development for railway applications
Software (SW) development is figuring ever more prominently in the value chain connected with efforts aimed at advancing the state of the art in railway engineering. It is becoming increasingly impossible to deliver complex safety functions and comfort-and-convenience features through hardware (HW) alone. In addition, SW components offer faster, more diverse customising options. However, it is precisely this diversity of variants for different customers that requires a flexible approach to development; i.e....
