The traditional principles for railway safety, cited by the author, were established for installations which, in the first instance, were purely mechanical and, later, electromechanical ones. They have made for constant improvement in safety and it has been possible to maintain them through a few adaptations when electronic devices came into use. A calling into question of these principles results from, on the one hand, the reliability and probability approaches to safety first noted in aviation and in the nuclear energy industry and, on the other, from the development of digital technologies. For these latter, a thorough methodological study appears to be an indispensable prerequisite for their application in railway installations. Railway engineers, therefore, must be trained in these new disciplines, because it is important that they conserve their role as system designers.
