Railway projects developed under established standards and safety principles deal with a formidable task: How to properly manage numerous requirements and ensure that the delivered system will reliably reflect all intended functionalities and safety aspects?
Not only should the system obey the safety standards, but also reflect customers’ requirements, national dependencies, and specific functionalities depending on the application of the system and the area of use.
For this purpose, the requirements management process is a critical part of the railway systems lifecycle, which ensures that requirements are properly evaluated, addressed, and tracked during the design and development phase and verified at appropriate stages.
Requirements Capture
In order to properly realize intended functionalities, requirements must be recognized at the beginning of the project. Further, during the architecture and design phase, they are adequately traced and, once the design and integration phases are finished, verified by means of provable measures, for example, testing.
