Abstract
ACRuDA (Assessment and Certification Rules for Digital Architectures) is a project partly funded by CEC. Its objective was to develop an assessment and certification method for safety critical digital architectures for use in the guided transport industry. The assessment process and the criteria were tested in three case studies. This paper gives an overview on the underlying principles of two of these and discusses how the assessment according to the ACRuDA framework promotes the cross-acceptance of certificates.
