4Tel to deploy TMACS technology on Tarcoola to Kalgoorlie line in Australia
4Tel, a turnkey control and information management solutions provider, is set to modernise train control functionality on the Australian Rail Track Corporation's (ARTC) Tarcoola to Kalgoorlie line by deploying Train Management and Control System (TMACS). TMACS, a computer-based electronic authority system, will be implemented across a 1,276km stretch of track by late 2026. The system is already operational on more than 5,000km of track in New South Wales (NSW). It is the predominant communications-based train control system on the ARTC and New South Wales Country Regional Network (CRN). TMACS minimises the need for costly track-side infrastructure by using electronic authorities for train movement. 4Tel CEO Tony Crosby said: 'TMACS has been proven in continuous and safe use since the initial version was deployed in 2001. Train drivers, track vehicles and track workers will all benefit from the increased risk controls that will be applied to this corridor, including electronic authorities, out-of-authority alerts and proximity alerts, which have all been well-proven over many years of operation on the CRN.' TMACS is the only train control system in Australia issuing vital movement authorities that meet the international standard IEC 61508 for Safety Integrity Level 2 (SIL-2). The system's screen-based forms and electronic train graphs enable efficient planning and management of train operations. TMACS also ensures safety by preventing the issue of overlapping authorities and conflicting track access. It continuously checks all movements against the authorised limits for each user, with alarms triggered in the control centre and on user devices if these limits are exceeded. The new TMACS servers for the Tarcoola to Kalgoorlie line will be housed in ARTC's Network Control Centre West (NCCW) in Adelaide. ARTC group executive Safety and Systems Brad Moorhouse said: 'This project reflects ARTC's commitment to modernising our national freight network by enhancing both safety and operational efficiency. The rollout of TMACS on the Tarcoola to Kalgoorlie line will deliver smarter train control technology to a key freight corridor, reducing reliance on manual systems and introducing smarter, engineering-based safety measures. 'TMACS will also integrate with the ARTC eTAP work-on-track mobile app used by track vehicles and track workers, improving the risk controls and efficiency of our train operations.' In October last year, the NSW Government initiated the Regional Network East/West Uplift (RNEW) Programme, which is designed to create a ten-year strategy for regional rail infrastructure. This programme marks a transition from sporadic investment decisions to a more systematic, evidence-driven approach that addresses the comprehensive requirements of the regional rail network.

Codethink Limited Announces World's First Baseline Safety Assessment for a Linux-Based OS to SIL 3 / ASIL D
MANCHESTER, England, May 06, 2025--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Codethink today announced the publication of its baseline Safety Assessment report for Codethink Trustable Reproducible Linux (CTRL OS). exida's assessment validates Codethink's safety argument for use of CTRL OS in safety-critical and mixed-criticality systems up to SIL 3 / ASIL D, and independently confirms that Codethink's approach satisfies the expectations of both IEC 61508 and ISO 26262. This is the latest milestone in Codethink's strategic journey to establish a defensible, engineering-led methodology for the use of Open Source software in systems where safety, security, performance, availability, and reliability are considered critical. "We are concentrating on the real work of engineering safety, security, and reliability, not just chasing certificates by following a standard," said Paul Sherwood, Codethink's Chairman. "This all boils down to trust. How can we trust software to do what we expect, and how can we trust our mitigations when things go wrong?" Codethink's solution was initially driven by customer demand for a "safe Linux" automotive platform, but now extends beyond the operating system to integration of critical software stacks, where the re-use of mature open source components can significantly reduce costs versus proprietary software, and reduce engineering risks versus creating new software from scratch. "Trust is fundamental to modern technology, and Codethink's approach to trustable software is groundbreaking," said Jonathan Moore, Director, Advanced Systems, exida LLC. "Their rigorous Trustable Software Framework methodology sets a new benchmark for how safety and assurance can be engineered into complex, open source–based systems from day one." CTRL OS is delivered in alignment with the Eclipse Trustable Software Framework, an open source industry initiative led by Codethink to create transparent, open foundations for safety-certified systems. This assessment shows the way for any product company building safety-critical systems to adopt mature open source components such as Linux with confidence. Codethink's objective-based approach means that the safety argument and the evidence to support it are built and maintained alongside the software. CTRL OS proves that open source isn't a compromise—it's a foundation for the future of safety-critical software. You can't audit your way to trust. You have to build it.
