Abstract

AbstractThis paper reports on the development and validation of a formal model for an automotive adaptive exterior lights system (ELS) with multiple variants in 6, which is the most recent version of the lightweight formal specification language that supports mutable relations and temporal logic. We explore different strategies to address variability, one in pure and another through an annotative language extension. We then show how and its can be used to validate systems of this nature, namely by checking that the reference scenarios are admissible, and to automatically verify whether the established requirements hold. A prototype was developed to translate the provided validation sequences into and back to further automate the validation process. The resulting ELS model was validated against the provided validation sequences and verified for most of requirements for all variants.
