The Fixed Block Processor (FBP) is an embedded real-time mission critical system (SIL4) used to communicate traffic control information to trains. It combines the different data sets of the traffic control systems and local maintenance systems to the most restrictive set.
The FBP consists of 3 lanes, each made up of a Main Processor Module (MPM) and 2 Serial IO Modules (SIOM). These 3 lanes check each other for faults. A faulty lane will be disengaged.
As Senior Software System Engineer part of the design team and responsible for:
