Abstract

The automated verification of hybrid systems has traditionally focused on safety and reachability properties. However, verifying liveness and general Linear Temporal Logic (LTL) properties is essential in many applications. This paper proposes a new benchmark suite for the ARCH competition, utilizing an LTL-enhanced extension of the standard SpaceEx model format. Our suite consists of several hybrid automata featuring linear and non-linear dynamics, ranging from 2D scalable models to 10D vehicle drivetrain systems. We provide a detailed formalization of a car overtaking maneuver to demonstrate how temporal specifications are encoded directly within the model files. To establish a baseline for the competition, we present experimental results obtained using the VeriLHyS tool. These benchmarks are intended to serve as a foundation for cross-tool comparisons and to foster the development of LTL support in other tools.
