Abstract
Railway cyber physical systems involve interactions between software controllers, communication networks, and physical devices. These systems are among the most complex cyber physical systems being designed by humans, but the complexities of railway cyber physical systems make their development a significant technical challenge. Various development technologies are now indispensable for quickly developing safe and reliable transportation systems. In this paper, we apply AADL to specify railway cyber physical systems and give a detailed analysis and design of the CBTC system. The CBTC system is split into four subsystems and makes friendly communication between the other three subsystems connecting to the data communication subsystem. We apply AADL to model each subsystem and give a detailed analysis and modeling, and make an effective integration of all subsystems together to form a complete CBTC system finally.
