Real-Time Innovations (RTI) and Verocel have formed a partnership to offer safety-critical certifiability architecture assessment for distributed systems. The new architecture assessment is expected to address the task of designing systems that demands safety certification criteria.
Reportedly, the jointly designed Safety-Critical Architecture Assessment combines and extends services offerings from both RTI and Verocel.
RTI said that it currently offers Data Distribution Service, Safety-Critical edition, which is a middleware offering for developing distributed safety-critical applications. Safety-Critical edition provides an application-layer messaging infrastructure that enables integration between distributed components of avionics systems, including sensors, actuators, displays and ground-control stations.
Reportedly, Verocel provides services to safety-critical software verification in avionics, ground-based aviation and the industrial sectors.
The new Safety-Critical Architecture Assessment product extends the RTI architecture study by adding safety-critical requirements. This includes analysis of data distribution, system integration, platform architecture and certification requirements such as DO 178B/ED 12B Level A, the partners said.
Dave Scheibenhoffer, director of services sales at RTI, said: “By addressing certification requirements from both a data-distribution and overall system perspective, developers can help safeguard the resulting system architecture and ensure that it is more efficient, upgradeable and cost effective resulting in an architecture that can be relied upon to meet the certification rigor required.
