Abstract

Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS) consist of a large number of vehicles and stop monitors, as well as operations management center and servers. Their development can be challenging due to 3rd party black-box components and limited debugging visibility. Our solution is log file analysis. We developed a tool framework called LOGDIG, which differs from related work by supporting also very complex system behaviors discovered by recurrent and backward processing of the log files. The tool was successfully used to find and fix faulty timing of bus stop monitor information in a product called ELMI.
