They also supply the operation program, signalling diagrams, routes list, technical plans and the technical specifications of the equipment.


Verification & Validation
Through its Railway experts, Safe Rail is able to supply a Verification & Validation service for your high-quality products and tests

A signalling project follows a V cycle in which the highest risk in a project is that the errors or modifications made at the start of the project are only discovered at the end of it.
This fact underlines the importance of verifying the product documents in any given phase of the project before starting the next phase.
Safe Rail is able to verify the following signalling documentation : technical specifications, operation program (signalling diagrams, route list, operation instructions), general functional analysis, system architecture, detailed functional analysis (technical plan) electrical diagrams, function specification of the software, detailed diagrams, test plan, factory test specs, site test specs…
