An assurance method for functional system expansion of Tokyo metropolitan railway system

Autonomous decentralized system (ADS) architecture has been used mainly to realize high assurance control system. However, ADS architecture proposed previously is too simple to apply large-scale complicated system. In this paper, we clarify that large-scale ADS is represented by hierarchical three layers structure and many ADS sub-systems are connected by gateways and agents using railway transport operation control system (ATOS) as an example. ATOS is a system which has been growing and changing continuously. We show that both gateway and agent are effective for system assurance in functional system expansion for large-scale ADS.
