Challenge

AMASS will create and consolidate a de-facto European-wide assurance and certification open tool platform, ecosystem and self-sustainable community spanning the largest CPS (Cyber-Physical Systems)  vertical markets.

Approach


RINA will contribute with its experience in assessment of safety and compliance to various European standards in the railway domain and in other sectors.
The application of the methods and the tools that are going to be created in the project to the System Requirements Specification of ERTMS/ETCS, UNISIG SUBSET-026, as an example that could show the implementation in the railway ERTMS/ETCS domain of the architecture-driven approach developed in AMASS.

Conclusion

The overall goals of AMASS, to improve the current situation in CPS design technologies, are:
G1: to demonstrate a potential gain for design efficiency of complex CPS by reducing their assurance and certification/qualification effort by 50%.
G2: to demonstrate a potential reuse of assurance results (qualified or certified before), leading to 40% of cost reductions for component/product (re)certification/qualification activities.
G3: to demonstrate a potential raise of technology innovation led by 35% reduction of assurance and certification/qualification risks of new CPS products.
G4: to demonstrate a potential sustainable impact in CPS industry by increasing the harmonization and interoperability of assurance and certification/qualification tool technologies by 60%.
