Abstract
The paper studies the use of formal methods in system design engineering in railways. Starting from the use of formal methods in French metro lines, the paper analyses various steps of dissemination of this know-how for main traffic lines. The case study of the ERTMS developments in France is presented for high speed lines and ETCS level 2. A study for an implementation in French regions is also considered. The last project to be analysed is the autonomous train of the IRT Railenium for the SNCF (the French railway national company). The system analysis shows that the old design assumptions are not valid anymore, as the system requires the autonomous trains to process a lot of data. All these industrial needs lead to specify a new approach based on a new semantic link between sub-systems: REFSEES. The main target is to make it possible to focus on a given sub-system refinement while preserving global invariants.
