Abstract(in Japanese) (See Japanese page)
Abstract(in English) In the development of automatic train protection and block (ATPB) railway signalling system, in order to guarantee the safety and reliability of its software system, formal method is adopted to analyze specification formally. Firstly, in order to improve the accuracy of translating original specification into formal specification, dynamic state translation is extracted to express the internal operation mechanism and state changes for every component, e.g. point, signals, trains. Followed by UML model is created for a comprehensive and object-oriented analysis of ATPB. Thirdly, a rigorous specification of system is established by VDM++ unambiguously without understanding deviation. At last, the specification is validated, such as internal consistency and combinatorial testing to ensure not only the correctness of specification itself, but also the satisfiability for the actual requirement.
