Review of the Book «Synthesis of Systems of Train Traffic Control at Railway Stations Eliminating Dangerous Failures»

Abstract

The article provides a short review of the just published book by Professor Vl. V. Sapozhnikov entitled «Synthesis of Systems of Train Traffic Control at Railway Stations Eliminating Dangerous Failures». The book covers the basics of the synthesis of safety train traffic control systems at railway stations. Control systems at the stage of abstract synthesis are represented in the form of a set of multitudes of finite state machines, the implementation of which excludes the conditions for occurrence of dangerous failures and, accordingly, for occurrence of catastrophic disruptions in work, causing threats to passengers and transported goods. The book is recommended to developers of systems of control of responsible technological processes, computer-aided design systems, testing, technical diagnostics and monitoring of automation devices in transport and industry, as well as to the students, Ph.D. students, academia, specialists in the field of synthesis of control systems.
