Principles of DES modeling (and formal methods) for transport safety and automation

Eckehard Schnieder (born in 1949) received his M.S. in electrical engineering with specialisation in control and computer engineering in 1972 from the Technical University Braunschweig. He received his Ph.D. in 1978. From 1979 until 1989 he joined Siemens Transportation Systems in Braunschweig, where he was responsible for the German maglev TRANSRAPID operation control system's design and development as well as for the automatic control of Siemens people mover. Since 1989 is he a full professor and head of the Institute of Traffic Safety and Automation Engineering, formerly Institute of Control and Automation Engineering, and board member of the Centre of Transportation of the Technical University Braunschweig. He directed the first formal modeling of the European Railway Control System (ERCS). In 2005 he received the grade of Dr. h. c. from the Todor Kableshkov Higher School of Transport, Sofia, Bulgaria. His main research interests are discrete event systems, control system synthesis, automated system design, design tools, operations control systems, localization techniques, e.g. satellite navigation.
