Semi-automated software documentation for modernised railway vehicles – a first-hand report

September 2016 | Julian Franzen, Udo Pinders, Walter Schreiber, Bernd Kuhlenkötter

Producing software-development documentation in accordance with DIN EN 50128 when modernising a railway vehicle constitutes a tough challenge for small and medium-sized enterprises. A company called Westfälische Lokomotiv-Fabrik Reuschling GmbH & Co. KG has now partially automated this documentation process through the use of a software tool in a methodologically supported continuous improvement process (CIP). By doing that, it has managed to bring the documentation process under control.
