Industrial Projects

COPP Project:

The COPP system commands the platform doors independently from the automatic train operations system. Thanks to sensors installed in the station, COPP observes a portion of the track area and analyzes the behaviour of trains travelling through stations. A material COPP component is also installed in the train to retrieve information on the opening and closing of the train doors. When the observation conditions have been fulfilled and the train delivers information to open or close the train doors, COPP securely commands the opening and closing of the platform doors on the platform adjacent to the train.

COPP’s safety is based on the SIL3 guarantee of the train being present and at a full stop in the stopping zone. The COPP system is integrated into the more general system responsible for automatically controlling the train doors at the Porte de Chatillon station. Our development process is based on the use of B Method at the system and software levels.

Cosyc Project:

The Paca Region, Oséo Innovation and the “Safe Communicating Solutions” Competitiveness Unit have selected the Cosyc project (accurate construction of onboard critical communicating systems) in the context of the call to tender for the research project finalized in 2007 (PRIDES).

This 30-month project intends to demonstrate the feasibility of the integration of formal functional and dysfunctional models to build safe and proven functional systems. The work will be performed using formal B and Altarica languages and their respective workbenches (Atelier B and Combava).
