Abstract(in English) At present, FTA and FMEA are often used as a safety analysis method and are effective in many cases. In the case of a software-centric system, however, analyzing its safety with those methods can be difficult because many interactions between subsystems lead to complex behavior. Recently, STAMP/STPA and STAMP/CAST, which are a safety-analysis method based on system-theoretic accident model and processes (STAMP) has been proposed and ensured to be effective in the aerospace field. In this paper, we verified effectiveness of the STAMP-based analysis methods in the field of a software-centric railway signaling system by applying them to the developing signaling system. The application resulted in detecting a few items to revise in the developing specification and we ensured that the STAMP-based analysis methods are effective.
