Vital computing platforms for wayside interlocking SIL-4 systems

?? CHALLENGE

• ProvidingSIL-4 certifiable open architecture
• platform for railway wayside environments.
• Typical applications: locking and releasing train routes on main line and mass transit systems
• Needing a competitive pricing and lifecycle support compared to a standard server solution (total cost of ownership)

?? SOLUTION

• Providing full SIL-4 vital computing platforms (19'' or half 19'' ), performing interlocking redundant computing
• Offering passive and active cooling versions (air-cooled, conduction-cooled, with or without fans..), based on Kontron COTS 3U VPX Single Board Computers

?? BENEFITS

• Taking advantage of Kontron’s highest quality and performance VPX COTS boards and ecosystem, designed with safety features to be certifiable up to SIL-4 standard
• Can be adapted to withstand various levels of harsh environments
• Extended lifecyle (20+ year support lifetime) and technology refreshes reducing the final customer’s TCO
