With the constant evolution of the modern railway industry, we are increasingly seeing the automation of systems, leaving humans no longer as “drivers” but as “supervisors” of these systems. This transition makes it increasingly necessary to establish rigorous methods to quantify the level of confidence that can be placed in these systems, thus ensuring the best reliability, operational performance, and above all, unfailing railway safety.
AuditSafe is positioned as an indispensable technical player in the independent assessment of railway safety, providing an expert and impartial view throughout each phase of the life cycle of railway systems and projects. It acts as an Independent Safety Assessor (ISA), which plays an essential role in the certification of a system and/or project in compliance with international regulatory frameworks.
One of the main contributions of an ISA such as AuditSafe is reflected in its expertise in systems critical to railway safety, such as signaling, rolling stock, supervision and control, among others, which are some of the various subsystems of a railway project whose failure can have serious consequences for both transport users and infrastructure. Therefore, their design, implementation, and validation must follow strict railway safety criteria.
