Control platform migration for passengers vehicle

As part of a major update to Bombardier’s American customer’s rolling stock control systems, Centris has been mandated to migrate the passenger vehicle control platform to a newer version, ready for the next 15 years of operation. The mandate was to migrate the ISaGRAF ™ platform already used by Bombardier into these latest-generation vehicles and migrate to a more modern operations platform.

The Centris team took the latest version of the ISaGRAF ™ software and the QNX ™ real-time operations system and developed the new control platform that Bombardier uses to program hardware management control logic for rolling hardware. Management of braking, doors, air conditioning and other parameters of each vehicle are controlled by this new platform and reported in real time to the driver, and also uploaded to a central system when the train is in station.
