We propose the self-checking design of the Transmission and Reception Blocks of a Trackside Control System used for railway applications. Our scheme has been conceived for Field-Programmable Gate Arrays. A prototype has been implemented, whose correct operation has been verified by means of post-layout simulations and experimental measurements. Our scheme negligibly impacts system?s performance and features self-checking ability with respect to a wide set of possible internal faults, representative of the most likely faults for FPGA-implemented systems.
