Automate signaling design with greater confidence
Create a stronger foundation for railway signaling engineering
Railway signaling design and configuration are still often driven by manual engineering, project-specific interpretation, and repeated validation efforts.
Prover helps railway teams move toward Signaling Design Automation: a more repeatable, model-based, and verification-driven way to generate, simulate, verify, and document signaling artifacts from structured specifications, reusable principles, and trusted data.
We digitalize the railway by implementing Signaling Design Automation, leveraging our expertise in formal methods and digital twins.
Manual signaling design creates bottlenecks, risk, and rework
Railway signaling projects involve large volumes of detailed engineering work. Requirements must be interpreted, signaling principles applied, configuration data prepared, design artifacts created, code or configuration generated, tests defined, verification performed, and documentation assembled.
Slow engineering workflows
Design work becomes slow and resource-intensive.
Dependency on expert knowledge
Quality depends heavily on scarce expert knowledge.
Repeated project effort
Similar engineering tasks are repeated across projects.
Late defect discovery
Errors are found late during verification, FAT, SAT, or commissioning.
Manual impact analysis
Changes require extensive manual impact analysis and rework.
Scaling challenges
Scaling across many sites, releases, or variants becomes expensive.
Design automation is not only about speed. It is about controlled engineering.
In safety-critical railway signaling, automation must do more than generate outputs quickly. It must preserve engineering intent, follow signaling principles, maintain traceability, and support verification and evidence.
Level 0 — Create the truth
Trusted engineering foundations
Structure requirements, rules, principles, data, and system logic so they can drive automation.
Level 1 — Build and prove
Automated build-and-verification workflow
Generate design, configuration, code, tests, documentation, and verification outputs through a controlled SDA workflow.

Start from the automation challenge you have today
Start from the data challenge you have today
SDA feasibility assessment
Evaluate whether Signaling Design Automation can be applied to a selected subsystem, area, or function set.
Can SDA be applied to this scope, and what value would it create?
GA/SA setup
Create or configure a reusable automation baseline using generic application and specific application concepts.
Can we reuse a generic signaling logic baseline across multiple specific applications?
Automated generation of artifacts
Generate selected outputs such as design models, configuration, code, control tables, tests, or documentation.
Can we generate these artifacts automatically while maintaining traceability and quality?
Verification of generated outputs
Use simulation and formal verification to prove that generated artifacts satisfy relevant requirements and principles.
Can we verify that the generated output behaves as intended?
SDA adoption roadmap
Define how SDA could be introduced gradually into an existing engineering organization or supplier workflow.
What is the practical path from today’s manual process to a repeatable SDA workflow?
