Verifying RTECTL properties of a train controller systems

In the paper we deal with a classic concurrency problem - a faulty train controller system (FTC). In particular, we formalize it by means of finite automata, and consider several properties of the problem, which can be expressed as formulae of a soft real-time branching time temporal logic, called RTECTL. Further, we verify the RTECTL properties of FTC by means of SAT-based bounded model checking (BMC) method, and present the performance evaluation of the BMC method with respect to the considered problem. The performance evaluation is given by means of the running time and the memory used.
