Abstract:

In view of lacking simulation and verification means for mission safety analysis of avionics system, a formal modeling and verification method for mission safety of avionics system is proposed. A formal model of avionics system ' mission process under standard operating conditions is formed based on timed automata theory and aviation regulations firstly. Then, hazard causes and safe constraints are integrated into the model as state transitions to construct verification model of mission safety for avionics system, respectively. Finally, by traversing the state space to verify the activity of the model, the accessibility of the hazard causes and the adequacy of the safe constraints, the automatic verification of the task security analysis results is realized. Experimental results show that the proposed method is feasible and effective. The method can provide a model basis for the ongoing process of mission safety analysis and design for avionics system, as well as ensure the correctness and integrity of the analysis results.

Key words: avionics system, mission safety, formal modeling, timed automata, simulation and verification
