Abstract
Since several years, ClearSy has driven large projects about using formal proofs at system level in the railway domain. The fundamental goal in these projects is to extract the rigorous reasoning establishing that the considered system ensures its requested properties, and to assert that this reasoning is correct and fully expressed. In this paper, we give feedback about the methodology used in all these projects, about the differences made by whether the concerned system is currently under design or already existing and about the benefits obtained. The formal proofs are performed using Event-B, with the Atelier-B toolkit.
