2、 in railway transportation. For a long time, the core control computer adopts in interlocking system is the special customized high-grade safety computer, for example, the SIMIS of Siemens, the EI32 of Nippon Signal, and so on. Along with the rapid development of electronic technology, the customize

According t
8、o the function of equipments, the system can be divided to the function of equipments; the system can be divided into three layers as shown in figure1.Figure 1 Architecture of Signal Interlocking System3 Component-based safety computer design3.1 Design strategyThe design concept of component-based s
9、afety critical computer is different from that of special customized computer. Our design strategy of SIC is on a base of fault-tolerance and system integration. We separate the SIC into three layers, the standardized component unit layer, safety software layer and the system layer. Different safety
10、 functions are allocated for each layer, and the final integration of the three layers ensures the predefined safety integrity level of the whole SIC. The three layers can be described as follows:(1) Component unit layer includes four independent standardized CPU modules. A hardware “SAFETY AND” log
11、ic is implemented in this year.(2) Safety software layer mainly utilizes fail-safe strategy and fault-tolerant management. The interlocking safety computing of the whole system adopts two outputs from different CPU, it can mostly ensure the diversity of software to hold with design errors of signal
12、version and remove hidden risks.(3) System layer aims to improve reliability, availability and maintainability by means of redundancy.3.2Design of hardware fault-tolerant structureAs shown in figure 2, the SIC of four independent component units (C11, C12, C21, C22). The fault-tolerant architecture
13、adopts dual 2 vote 2 (2v22) structure, and a kind of high-performance standardized module has been selected as computing unit which adopts Intel X Scale kernel, 533 MHZ. The operation of SIC is based on a dual two-layer data buses. The high bus adopts the standard Ethernet and TCP/IP communication p
14、rotocol, and the low bus is Controller Area Network (CAN). C11、C12 and C21、C22 respectively make up of two safety computing components IC1 and IC2, which are of 2v2 structure. And each component has an external dynamic circuit watchdog that is set for computing supervision and switching. Figure 2 Ha

The design includes power supply, interfaces and other embedded circu
16、its.The fault-tolerant processing, synchronized computing, and fault diagnosis of SIC mostly depend on the safety software. Here the safety software design method is differing from that of the special computer too. For dedicated computer, the software is often specially designed based on the bare ha
17、rdware. As restricted by computing ability and application object, a special scheduling program is commonly designed as safety software for the computer, and not a universal operating system. The fault-tolerant processing and fault diagnosis of the dedicated computer are tightly hardware-coupled. Ho
18、wever, the safety software for SIC is exoteric and loosely hardware-coupled, and it is based on a standard Linux OS. The safety software is vital element of secondary development. It includes Linux OS adjustment, fail-safe process, fault-tolerance management, and safety interlocking logic. The hiera
19、rchy relations between them are shown in Figure 4. Figure 4 Safety software hierarchy of SIC3.4Fault-tolerant model and safety computation3.4.1 Fault-tolerant modelThe Fault-tolerant computation of SIC is of a multilevel model:SIC=F1002D(F2002(Sc11,Sc12),F2002(Sc21,Sc22)Firstly, basic computing unit
20、 Ci1 adopts one algorithm to complete the SCi1, and Ci2 finishes the SCi2 via a different algorithm, secondly 2 out of 2 (2oo2) safety computing component of SIC executes 2oo2 calculation and gets FSICi from the calculation results of SCi1 SCi2, and thirdly, according the states of watchdog and swit
21、ch unit block, the result of SIC is gotten via a 1 out of 2 with diagnostics (1oo2D) calculation, which is based on FSIC1 and FSIC2.The flow of calculations is as follows:(1) Sci1=F ci1 (Dnet1,Dnet2,Ddi,Dfss)(2) Sci2=F ci2 (Dnet1,Dnet2,Ddi,Dfss)(3) FSICi=F2oo2 (Sci1, Sci2 ),(i=1,2)(4) SIC_OutPut=F1o
22、o2D (FSIC1, FSIC2)3.4.2 Safety computationAs interlocking system consists of a fixed set of task, the computational model of SIC is task-based. In general, applications may conform to a time-triggered, event-triggered or mixed computational model. Here the time-triggered mode is selected, tasks are
23、executed cyclically. The consistency of computing states between the two units is the foundation of SIC for ensuring safety and credibility. As SIC works under a loosely coupled mode, it is different from that of dedicated hardware-coupled computer. So a specialized synchronization algorithm is nece
24、ssary for SIC.SIC can be considered as a multiprocessor distributed system, and its computational model is essentially based on data comparing via high bus communication. First, an analytical approach is used to confirm the worst-case response time of each task. To guarantee the deadline of tasks th

Moreover, the computational model must meets the real time requirements of railway interlocking system, within the system computing cycle, we set many check points Pi (i=1,2,. n) ,
26、which are small enough for synchronization, and computation result voting is executed at each point. The safety computation flow of SIC is shown in Figure 5.Figure 5 Safety computational model of SIC4. Hardware safety integrity level evaluation4.1 Safety Integrity As an authoritative international s

31、d computer SIC. Railway signal interlocking is a fail-safe system with a required probability of less than 10-9 safety critical failures per hour. In order to meet the critical constraints, fault-tolerant architecture and safety tactics are used in SIC. Although the computational model and implement

34、划算的容错计算机来代替专用电脑在航天和其它安全关键领域。近年来，在航空航天、工业、交通和其它安全关键领域，利用标准化部件正逐步成为一种新的趋势。2 铁路信号联锁系统2.1信号联锁系统的功能信号联锁系统的基本功能是通过控制信号设备，保护列车运行安全。如控制道岔的转换、信号的开放和控制列车通过车站，它通过一种联锁处理规则控制线路。自铁路运输诞生以来、信号联锁系统已经经历了手动信号、机械信号、继电器联锁和现代计算机联锁系统。2.2信号联锁系统的构架一般来说，联锁系统具有层次结构。根据设备的功能，系统可分为三层，如图1所示。图1 信号联锁系统的结构3 安全计算机的组件设计3.1设计策略模块化安全关键计
35、算机组件的设计理念不同于那些特殊定制的计算机。我们对安全联锁计算机的设计理念是基于系统的容错性和系统的综合需求。将其分为三层：标准化组成单元层、软件安全层与系统层，并给每一层分配不同的安全功能，最终将三层集成，并确保系统达到预定的安全完整性水平。三层可以描述如下： (1) 标准化组成单元层包括四个独立的标准化CPU模块。这一层实现硬件“安全”逻辑联锁。 (2) 软件安全层主要用故障-安用策略和容错算法。由于一个完整的安全联锁系统采用两个不同的CPU输出的结果，所以最能确保软件设计某一版本，在设计时存在的多种错误，清除潜在的风险。 (3) 系统层，旨在提高系统的可用性和冗余系统的可维护性。3.2
36、容错结构的硬件设计如图2所示，安全联锁计算机由四个独立单元组成(C11，C12，C21，C22)。采用双容错结构设计(22取2)结构，计算单元选用高可靠性、高效率的模块，采用了英特尔XScale内核，533兆赫的处理器。安全联锁计算机的操作基于两层数据总线上。高速总线采用标准以太网结构和TCP / IP通信协议、低总线控制器局域网(CAN)。C11、C12和C21、C22分别组成两个独立的安全计算部件IC1和IC2，并构成2乘2取2结构，并且每一部分都有计算机监控和外部开关电路动态监测。图2 SIC硬件结构3.3标准化组成单元在研究清楚组成模块后，根据铁路信号联锁系统的临界安全性要求，我们必须
37、做一个二次开发的模块。该设计主要包括电源、接口和其他嵌入式电路。安全联锁计算机的容错计算、处理、故障的同步诊断主要依靠安全软件。这个安全软件的设计方法不同于其他专用的特殊计算机。在专用特殊计算机中，软件通常基于单一裸露硬件而特别设计，限于计算处理能力和软件兼容性，在电脑上特殊的调度程序一般基于安全性软件设计，而不是一个普通的操作系统。专用计算机中容错处理系统和故障诊断系统通过硬件耦合。然而，安全联锁计算机中的安全软件是开放、宽松的，它基于标准的Linux操作系统。安全软件的二次开发是至关重要的。它包括Linux系统调整，故障-安全导向、容错性管理，安全联锁的逻辑。它们之间的层次关系如图3。图3
38、 SIC的安全软件层次关系3.4容错模型和安全估计算3.4.1 容错模型安全联锁计算机的多层容错计算模型：SIC= F1oo2D (F2oo2(SC11, S C12 ), F2oo2 (SC21,SC22)首先,根据计算单元Ci1采用一个算法来完成Sci1，Ci2计算单元通过不同的算法完成Sci2，其次，安全联锁计算机实行二乘二取二算法计算得到的结果和Sci1、Sci2计算，输出到FSICi中的结果，再进行二乘二取二运算，第三，根据监视系统和开关单元块，安全联锁计算机运算的结果在基于FSIC1和 FSIC2输出的结果上，经过与门的诊断处理（2取1），就计算出Sci1。同样的，根据Ci2的计算
39、结果通过不同的算法也完成Sci2。计算流程如下：(1)Sci1=F ci1 (D net1，Dnet2，Ddi，Dfss)；(2)Sci2=F ci2 (D net1，Dnet2，Ddi，Dfss)；(3)FSIC1=F2oo2 (S ci1，Sci2)，(i=1，2)；(4) SIC OutPut=Floo2D(FSIC1，FSIC2)。3.4.2 安全性计算由于联锁系统由一组固定的任务构成，故SIC的计算模型是基于任务的。通常，应用程序可符合一个时间触发、事件触发或者混合的计算模型。这里选用时间触发的计算模型，循环执行任务。为保证安全性和可信度，单元之间的计算机状态的一致性是SIC的基础。
40、因为SIC工作在一个松散耦合的模式，它不同于专用的硬件耦合的计算机。所以SIC需要一个专业的同步算法。SIC可以被视为是一种多处理器分布式系统，其计算模型实质上是基于通过较高的总线通信的数据。首先，一种解析方法是用于证实每项任务的最差的响应时间。为了保证通过网络沟通的任务的最后期限，传播媒介的访问时间和延迟被设计为固定值。此外，计算模型必须满足铁路联锁系统在系统计算周期的实时要求，我们设了许多检查点Pi(i=1,2,n),取值很小，能实现同步，并且在每个检查点得出计算结果。SIC的安全计算流如图4所示。图4 SIC的安全计算模型4 硬件的安全完整性水平评价4.1安全完整性作为国际权威的安全体系
41、方面的标准，国际电工委员会61508提出关于安全完整性方面的定义：在规定的条件下、规定的时间内，安全系统成功实现所要求的安全功能的概率。IEC61508定义了4个层次的安全完整性，SIL1 SIL4。SIL1是最低的，SIL4最高。根据IEC 61508，安全联锁计算机属于高需求或连续运行模式系统。安全联锁计算机的安全完整性级别可以通过系统每小时的潜在危险估算出来，在IEC61508中，安全完整性级别是这样定义的，如表1所示：表1 高需求或连续运行模式系统在安全功能启动情况下的失效点安全完整性水平 高需求或连续模式行动（故障概率每小时）4 10-9 to 10-83 10-8 to 10-72
42、 10-7 to 10-61 10-6 to 10-54.2安全联锁计算机的可靠性框图在分析了安全完整性级别的的结构和工作原理的基础上，我们得到其可靠性的结构图，如图5所示。图5 SIC的可靠性结构图5结论在本文中，我们提出了一种有效的标准模块化计算机的的安全完整性，铁路信号联锁系统是故障-安全系统，每小时的失效故障率必须要低于10-9，尽管计算模型和实施技术相当复杂，但是为了达到系统规定的参数值，安全完整性系统中必须使用容错系统结构和安全性策略。安全完整性的思想和理论给安全关键性应用展现了一个美好的应用前景。它提供一种简单的硬件组成，而且还可以缩短开发周期，降低成本。现在，安全联锁计算机已投入实际应用，其高性能、可靠性和安全性已经被证实。
