This Oct 29-31st, the SmartMetro conference was held in Paris. The event brought together Senior metro, tram, and light rail technology experts from all over the world, including Prover Technology. Nicolas Aucouturier and Thierry Lartaud were there to represent Prover as an international presence in the signaling industry.
The annual SmartMetro conference has always been an exciting opportunity for Prover. It is a chance to learn, discuss and reconnect with the key operators and suppliers during the presentations, workshops and roundtables.
We primarily focused on presenting Prover’s premiere product: The prover Trident process is the complete package for interlocking design automation. This tool suite provides formal methods for defining signaling principles (PiSPEC IP), development of specific systems based on its signaling principles and needs (Prover iLock), and sign-off verification of specific systems (Prover Certifier). Within this suite, simulation as well as testing documentation and code generation is of course also included.
We are already looking forward to getting the chance to attend the next SmartMetro conference again in another great European city.
