Abstract

The objective of the paper is to investigate the applicability of stochastic Petri nets for the safety and performance analysis of a railway operation control system. The problem chosen by the applied reference case study is a decentralized radio-based control system for a railway level crossing, where a single track railway line and a road are crossing each other. A model was created, using the PROFUND methodical concept, integrating the operational PROcess, system FUNctionality and Dependability
