As the railway industry evolves toward digital transformation, one big question comes up: Can cloud infrastructure meet the highest safety integrity levels (SIL4) required for safety-critical systems?
In our latest whitepaper, developed as part of Digitale Schiene Deutschland, we explore exactly that.
This report outlines the technical feasibility, architectural principles, and certification considerations for deploying safety-critical railway applications in the cloud—without compromising SIL4 standards. It’s a pivotal read for engineers, architects, and decision-makers at the intersection of rail and cloud computing.
Highlights include:
- A breakdown of SIL4 requirements in the context of virtualized and containerized environments
- Insights into redundancy, determinism, and resilience in modern cloud stacks
- Concrete architecture proposals and certification pathways
This work contributes to redefining what's possible for safety-critical applications in modern infrastructure—and opens doors to a more flexible, scalable, and future-proof railway ecosystem.
