Abstract
The verification of railway interlocking systems is a challenging task for which a number of different modelling, simulation and verification approaches have been proposed. In this paper, we present the OnTrack toolset. In OnTrack, application data for the railway domain is represented using a domain specific language. This data can be entered manually or imported from standard data formats. OnTrack then comprises of a number of different model transformations that allow the user to automatically generate formal models for a specific approach, e.g., in CASL, CSP, or CSP||B. Other transformations offer abstractions on the application data to address scalability.
