WHITE PAPER

Accelerating Embedded Software Development for Railway Applications

There can be no doubt that embedded software is powering the revolution in the world’s railway industry, as trains become increasingly digital and autonomous. Embedded software acts as a control center, monitoring conditions in real-time, processing data, and activating critical functions such as braking and acceleration. Because human lives depend on the flawless performance of this software under thousands of operating parameters, its development and verification cannot be shortened.

Ansys SCADE has demonstrated its ability, across dozens of customer use cases, to streamline and accelerate the embedded software development cycle, without compromising safety or security. Instead of viewing embedded software development as a challenge, today’s railway leaders are leveraging shorter development times and lower costs as a competitive advantage. By capitalizing on the power of SCADE and its model-based approach, these companies are moving full steam ahead in an increasingly competitive marketplace.
