    摘要: The present invention makes it possible to supply transportation capacity suitable for movement demand in numerous circumstances. A timetable modification device for changing a timetable representing a train control target, in accordance with a movement demand prediction result indicating, for each time period, the number and destination of passengers at each station at which the train stops, the timetable modification device having a violation position extraction program P01a for calculating the degree of congestion of a train on the basis of predicted demand information representing a movement demand prediction result and extracting a violation position at which the degree of congestion is outside a predetermined allowed range, and a timetable correction program P01b for changing a timetable so as to include a change in the destination of the train so that the degree of congestion of the violation position is within the allowed range or so that the degree of congestion of the violation position approaches the allowed range.

    摘要: The invention relates to an apparatus (1a) and a method for controlling a critical system (S), as well as to a device (3a,3b) and a method for the distribution of messages for controlling said critical system (S), wherein said apparatus (1a) is configured for encrypting a first control message by using the first private key, transmitting said first encrypted message to a second apparatus (1b), receiving a second encrypted message generated by a second apparatus (1b) and encrypted by said second apparatus (1b) by using a second private key, decrypting said second encrypted message by using a public key associated with said second private key, verifying the second decrypted message on the basis of said first message and, if the verification is successful, encrypting at least said second encrypted message with said first private key, thereby generating a third encrypted message, and transmitting said third encrypted message.

    摘要: The present invention relates to a method for remotely controlling the status of graphic user interfaces such as monitors, panels, displays, screens and others, used in railway or transportation systems. For achieving a reliable safety level, so that a person can be sure that the information displayed by the graphic interface in real time correspond to the effective situation of the transportation network, there is provided a feedback control loop between an image elaboration-generation block, and a safety block. According to a preferred solution, the communications between the blocks of the control loop are encrypted. With the control method of the present invention, it is possible to achieve a top safety level in the railway networks, even when using commercially available graphic user interfaces, such as COTS terminal.
