SELF-CHECKING MULTIPROCESSOR MODULE FOR TRAIN CONTROL APPLICATIONS

The need for a reliable, and as near as possbile fail-safe, mulitprocessing system for on-board automatic train operation has resulted in the development of Cyclone I. Time redundancy techniques are used extensively to reduce hardware to a minimum, and to allow no incorrect output conditions arising from transient faults.
