Computer-based interlocking, or CBI, is an interlocking system where the traditional wired networks of relays are replaced by software logic running on special-purpose fail-safe control hardware. The fact that the logic is implemented by software rather than hard-wired circuitry greatly facilitates the ability to make modifications when needed by reprogramming rather than rewiring.

Prover, RATP and Systerel publish the unified HLL 4.0 specification, keeping the rail industry's formal verification language open and free of dialects.
Generative AI has entered railway software engineering ahead of the standards governing it. A new CENELEC draft amendment to EN 50716 doesn't add requirements. It clarifies which existing rules apply when AI drafts specs, writes code, or generates test cases, and why those rules are harder to satisfy with generative models than teams might assume.
Prover, together with NEAT, Schneider Electric, and Pilz will demo real railway interoperability at InnoTrans: three vendor platforms, one interlocking design, live at Prover's booth.
