GeneralSafety critical software - RAIB report into ERTMS failure Pin

For those of you involved in - or interested in - safety critical software, you might want to read this[^] and the report it links to.

This is the report by the UK's Rail Accident Investigation Bureau into an incident a couple of years ago involving a trial of new railway signalling systems in Wales. Following a reboot of the computer system at the signalling centre, temporary speed restriction data wasn't reloaded and at least one train was involved in a dangerously over-speed situation as a result, although no harm was actually done. The report looks in detail not just at the software, but the human factors around it (the vendor had intended a manual check of speed limit data following a reboot, but there was no formal procedure to ensure this happened) and more generally around the procurement, design, installation and verification of safety critical software.
