Cover Page Analysis of the Impact of Communication Protocols on Service Quality in Ertms Automatic Train Control Systems

چکیده
The ERTMS-ATC system is a distributed system where the Driver Machine Interface (DMI) is a slave unit of the train onboard vital computer (EVC). In this paper we analyze two types of communication protocols for the EVC-DMI interactions, based, respectively, on cyclic and acyclic messages’ exchange. Adopting a modular modeling methodology, we assess their impact on significant dependability-related indicators. The analysis of the obtained results allows to quantify the improvements in adopting an acyclic protocol, possibly with one spare DMI component.

Assessing the impact of cyclic/acyclic EVC-DMI interactions in Automatic Train Control systems
The ERTMS-ATC system is a distributed system where the Driver Machine Interface (DMI) is a slave unit of the train onboard vital computer (EVC). Consequently, as for the information visualization and the input data acquisition, the data transfer between DMI and EVC must also be safe. A safe communication protocol stack has therefore to be provided for connecting safety-related peer agents as pa...
متن کاملPublic Land Mobile Networks supporting Regional Train Management
Telecommunications are strategic assets for the design and operation of train control systems based on automatic train protection to prevent errors due to the human factor. The ERTMS/ETCS train control system developed in Europe is considered a world-wide de facto standard. It utilizes a dedicated telecommunication network based on the GSM-R system. This approach is not economically sustainable...
متن کاملAutomatic QoS-aware Web Services Composition based on Set-Cover Problem
By definition, web-services composition works on developing merely optimum coordination among a number of available web-services to provide a new composed web-service intended to satisfy some users requirements for which a single web service is not (good) enough. In this article, the formulation of the automatic web-services composition is proposed as several set-cover problems and an approxima...
متن کاملIdentifying the Factors Affecting on Service Quality & Passenger Satisfaction in Commuter Train Services
This paper addresses identifying the factors affecting the service quality in commuter trains services and passenger satisfaction. To this end, the Service Quality Management Framework (SERVQUAL model) with five dimensions of service quality including reliability, assurance, tangibility, empathy, and responsiveness, have been used to assess the passengers' needs. In this study, the criteria of ...
متن کاملA Formal Security Analysis of ERTMS Train to Trackside Protocols
This paper presents a formal analysis of the train to trackside communication protocols used in the European Railway Tra c Management System (ERTMS) standard, and in particular the EuroRadio protocol. This protocol is used to secure important commands sent between train and trackside, such as movement authority and emergency stop messages. We perform our analysis using the applied pi-calculus a...
