Logical verification and systematic parametric analysis in train control.

We formally verify hybrid safety properties of
cooperation protocols in a fully parametric version of
the European Train Control System (ETCS). We present a
formal model using hybrid programs and verify
correctness using our logic-based decomposition
procedure. This procedure supports free parameters and
parameter discovery, which is required to determine
correct design choices for free parameters of ETCS.
