Author:
Dirk Droste, Robert Bosch GmbH, DE
Abstract
The global ASIC community faces a strong trend towards new IoT applications - but, what is the concrete behind all fuzzy discussions for the ASIC design community? This talk will give an overview about the perspective of Bosch Sensortec ASIC development to adapt to upcoming challenges in ASIC design for future IoT MEMS sensors with their broad span of new applications and features and their challenging requirements for low power, high performance and complex integration.

Abstract
Railway infrastructure is characterized by very long life cycles, e.g. 25 years or even more, and very harsh environmental conditions. The requirements for availability and safety are nonetheless very demanding to assure an efficient and save operation. In addition, the fulfillment of these requirements has to be shown formally in so-called safety cases. These cases have to be confirmed by independent safety assessors and eventually government agencies. Under these circumstances, the adoption of new technologies in the railway industry can be a challenge. Over the last decades, the architecture of railway control systems has been more or less stable. The trackside equipment, i.e. points, signals, track vacancy detection etc., is connected via star-shaped cabling to an interlocking. This interlocking distributes the energy and assures the safety by controlling the trackside equipment accordingly. The star-shaped cabling limits the control range of every interlocking, thus there is a need for an interlocking in every station. Both, this cabling concept as well as the large number of interlocking installations lead to high costs. To bring the overall costs down, new concepts have to be implemented. The field elements have to be connected via bus systems, ideally based on the Internet Protocol. This reduces cabling and increases the distance over which the elements can be controlled. Thus, the number of cabinets and installations can be distinctly reduced. Furthermore, off-the-shelf communication equipment can be used to connect the field elements. In the long run, a centralized operation of the control equipment in data centers can be envisioned. However, installing an internet of things along the track, where all signals, points and level crossings are subscribers, is demanding for the following reasons. • The functional safety has to be provided in a way that it can be formally proven. • A very high availability is necessary to assure steady operation. If an element or the connection to an element breaks down, no or only reduced operation is possible. • Security problems could affect passenger safety; hence, the communication system has to fulfill highest standards. • Legacy interfaces (e.g. the four wire interface for point machines) have to be supported further. • The field elements have to be provided with power. If a data bus is introduced, an adequate power bus is needed too in order to achieve substantial cost savings. For several years, Siemens has been working on innovating the IoT in the railway infrastructure. We named the concept Distributed Wayside Architecture. First installations at DB in Germany and SBB in Switzerland showed that the challenges mentioned above can be overcome. Current work focuses on the power bus as well as on the scalability of the concepts to larger installations.
