Abstract

Formal verification of safety-critical systems is crucial for demonstrating their safety to the certification bodies. In particular, the railway network validation requires rigorous analyses and the use of formal methods to meet railway standards. This student paper outlines objectives and the current progress of the work on verification of complex railway networks consisting of the areas with different signalling and interlocking.
