Abstract—The development process of civil aircraft is to implement the design process of complex products with system engineering for the requirements of stakeholders. As an important activity of system engineering, requirements validation aims to ensure the correctness and integrity of requirements. SAE ARP4754A and the development process of high-speed trains are studied in this paper to analyze the application of important activities specified in SAE ARP4754A in the high-speed trains development process. With the actual situation of the development process for high-speed trains considered, the requirement of “railworthiness” is suggested based on the systems development process and safety assessment in SAE ARP4754A. To suit the safety requirements, a preliminary development process of high-speed trains is put forward, including the requirements validation procedure designed on the basis of an analysis of stakeholders’ requirements to help train designers with their requirements validation work.
