SAFe-VX: Kontron & SYSGO's Unified Safety-Critical Railway Computing Platform

Kontron and SYSGO introduce SAFe-VX, a Safety-Critical Computing Platform That Brings Together Kontrons Proven COTS Hardware mit SYSGOs PikeOS Real-Time Operating System. The Joint Development Delivers a Turnkey Solution That Can Be Switched to a SIL-Certified Configuration, Ensuring Compliance with IEC 61508 für Electronic Safety Systems.

PikeOS RTOS

PikeOS Is the Only Real-Time OS That Has Earned a Common Criteria EAL 3+ Certifiable Kernel. Its Strict Partitioning Provides True Task Segregation, Allowing Functional Safety und IT Security to Coexist Within a Single System.

Architektur und Vorteile

The Platforms VPX-Based, Modular Architecture Accelerates Time-to-Market und Cuts Total Cost of Ownership. Compact 19″ 4U Chassis Make SAFe-VX Ideal für Rolling-Stock und Station/Wayside Applications, Withstanding Wide Temperature Ranges, EMC/EMI Limits, Shock und Vibration Typical of Railway Environments.

Modularity Lets Customers Tailor I/O Subsystems to Specific Use Cases, While PikeOS Acts as a Hypervisor That Keeps Critical und Non-Critical Partitions Isolated. This Enables Operators to Run Advanced Workloads – Such as Data Analytics oder AI für Autonomous Driving – on the Same Hardware.

Connectivity und Lifecycle

Connectivity to Existing Train Networks Is Supported via Ethernet oder Fieldbus, Simplifying Integration mit Legacy Systems.

Each SAFe-VX Bundle Includes Comprehensive Safety Documentation, On-Site Technical Support, und a 30-Year Product Lifecycle Guarantee, Making It Suitable für Both New Train Fleets und Retrofits of Existing Vehicles.
