Abstract
An automatic train operation system includes a first control system configured to run a first software for controlling a first vehicle subsystem and a second control system configured to run a second software for controlling a second vehicle subsystem. The automatic train operation system also includes a software verification controller. The software verification controller is configured to identify a first identifier of the first software and a second identifier of the second software as a software configuration and determine whether the software configuration is preapproved. The software verification controller is also configured to, if the software configuration is preapproved, authorize the first control system and the second control system to run the first and second software.
