iFACTS
Objective:
A UK air traffic services provider appointed Altran to develop the new software for iFACTS. ECS applied its Correctness by Construction method, deployed a multi-disciplinary, multi-national team of over 120 engineers at Altran’s delivery centres in UK, France and India, and worked with NATS at all levels to ensure success.
Results:
Initial versions of iFACTS have successfully been deployed to the live operational environment at Swanwick’s en-route centre and used for shadowing and operational trials at quiet times of the day. It has become fully operational in 2011. iFACTS is an enabler for the EUROCONTROL FASTI initiative.
Connected Car
Objective:
To get access to the new digital world from the car in a safe and adapted way, Altran has developed a Connected Car platform that builds upon the GENIVI™-compliant Linux distributions.
Altran’s Connected Car platform is fully automotive and integrated into the car electronics. The platform offers a rich connection with the external world, opening up the car to the digital ecosystem and allowing users to download applications and services. In order to ensure a connected and safe user experience on the road, security has been built in. Only certified applications are able to run in the car.
Results:
The platform made possible the realisation of an automotive demonstrator with connectivity and adapted ergonomics (speech recognition, steering-wheel commands…) and was shown during the IAA (Frankfurt, Germany) in 2011 and Embedded World (Nuremberg, Germany) in 2012.
WATCHKEEPER UAV
Objective:
A key player in mission-critical information systems for defence and security selected Altran to provide Safety Case and Safety Support for the first flight of the WATCHKEEPER Tactical Unmanned Air Vehicle (UAV). Altran used its innovative electronic safety case technology to develop the safety case for the vehicle, minimising the cost and time of safety argument development and simplifying scrutiny by assessors and approvers for the WATCHKEEPER system.
Results:
WATCHKEEPER completed its first unmanned flight in UK airspace on 14 April 2010 at West Wales Airport near Aberporth (UK). The first flight saw the vehicle complete a twenty minutes flight from the airfield before landing successfully under automatic control.
AUTOSAR (AUTOMOTIVE OPEN SYSTEM ARCHITECTURE)
Objective:
A large German OEM requested support in the coordination and execution of series development compliant to AUTOSAR Release 2.1. This was worldwide the very first project introducing AUTOSAR to series production.
Results:
Altran provided strong expertise on major activities related to AUTOSAR (migration, adaptation of SW Architecture, diagnostics, configuration, integration of five ECUs in two etc.). As a consequence of its work, Altran was awarded additional work on the successor project which involved an extended merge of ECUs.
