1TAP Masterplanning kick-off25 September 2012 TAP TSI Masterplanning Overview of RU/IM obligations Masterplanning Kick-off Brussels, 25 September 2012

2TAP Masterplanning kick-off25 September 2012 The goal of TAP RU/ IM standards is providing interoperability… TAP RU/ IM functions take into account different stakeholders than TAF, with an overlap on the IM side  Providing passengers with important travel information on all rail journeys  This is different to TAF  Involved actors: -Infrastructure Managers -Passenger RUs -Station Managers … for Passengers  Railway companies can – with the same standards for domestic and interoperable services - -order train paths -control and manage their train services -improve passenger information … for Rail Companies  Station Managers (SMs) in the sense of TAP are entities responsible for passenger information in the stations  SMs and Passenger RUs are actors that fall under TAP and have had limited or no implication by TAF

3TAP Masterplanning kick-off25 September 2012 TAP RU/ IM functions are close to TAF RU/ IM Communication Overview of TAP RU/ IM functions Short Term Path Requests Train Preparation Train Running Info + Forecast Service Disruption  Very close to TAF  Close to TAF  Other TAF functions not relevant 1  Close to TAF  Involving SMs  Other TAF functions not relevant 2 Relation to TAF  Close to TAF  Triggers further communication  Dialogue between RU and IM to order or modify paths  Info from RU to IM that train is ready/not ready  Info from IM to RU and SM about punctuality Content  Info from IM to RU/SM that train stopped and continuation is unclear 1) TAF functions for Train Preparation not relevant for TAP: Train Accepted, Train Composition, Train Not Suitable, Train Position, Train at Start 2) TAF functions for Train Running not relevant for TAP: all Enquiries and Enquiry Responses Functions

4TAP Masterplanning kick-off25 September 2012 TAP RU/ IM functions are clustered for the Masterplanning Description in the Regulation and the Implementation Guide Reference of TAP RU/ IM functions Short Term Path Requests Train Preparation Train Running Info + Forecast Service Disruption  chapter 12  chapter 13  chapter 14, 18 RU/IM Implementation Guide 1  chapter 15, 18  BP  BP  BP TAP Regulation  BP )The RU/IM IG contains a “Who should read what”-section that is advised to be consulted. All general chapters (Part A and D) should be read for all clusters. The RU/IM Implementation Guide is available at Reference

5TAP Masterplanning kick-off25 September 2012 Some TAP RU/ IM functions are new and not relevant for TAF Additional TAP RU/ IM functions Change of Track Train Journey Modified  Passenger information; not relevant for TAF Relation to TAF  Info from IM to RU/ SM about platform  Info during operation from IM/ RU to SM that train is rerouted, cancelled etc. Content  Passenger information; not relevant for TAF Info in stations Info in vehicles  Passenger information; not relevant for TAF  Info from SM to customer (content only)  Info from RU to passenger (content only) Functions

6TAP Masterplanning kick-off25 September 2012 TAP RU/ IM functions are clustered for the Masterplanning Description in the Regulation and the Implementation Guide Reference to TAP RU/ IM functions Change of Track Train Journey Modified  BP  chapter 17, 19  chapter 16, 19 RU/IM Implementation Guide 1  BP TAP Regulation 1) The RU/IM IG contains a “Who should read what”-section that is advised to be consulted. All general chapters (Part A and D) should be read for all clusters. Info in stations Info in vehicles  chapter 19  BP  BP Reference

7TAP Masterplanning kick-off25 September 2012 Standard interfaces to allow communication between stakeholders via standard data networks CI Common Reference data. Location-ID Company-ID IP Network RU 1RU 2 IM 1 CI IM 2 CI SM 1 CI CUS illustrativ CI = Common Interface CUS = Commonly Used System IM = Infrastructure Manager RU = Railway Undertaking SM= Station Manager CI RU 3 General architecture of the RU/IM communication

8TAP Masterplanning kick-off25 September 2012 TAP RU/ IM prerequisites are very close to TAF TSI Overview of TAP RU/ IM prerequisites Reference Files Common Interface Train Identifiers Governance  Very close to TAF  CCG CI is available  Individual solutions possible 1  Phased approach using existing identifiers is developed in collaboration with TAF 2 Relation to TAF  Not specified yet  Data on Locations, Countries, Companies  Tools to allow interoperable message exchange  Unambiguous identification for IT applications  Not replacing rail operational numbers Content  Availability of rules for standards and common elements 1) Companies can implement own solutions conform to the reference CI, allowing the exchange of TAP messages 2) Start using TAP messages with existing identifiers, move towards technical identifiers as developed by TAF, partners need to agree on migration Functions

9TAP Masterplanning kick-off25 September 2012 TAP RU/ IM prerequisites are very close to TAF TSI Reference to TAP RU/ IM prerequisites Reference Files Common Interface Train Identifiers Governance  chapter 9  chapter 6  chapter 8 and Train ID handbook 2)  chapter 23  BP  BP  n/a RU/IM Implementation Guide 1 TAP Regulation 1)The RU/IM IG contains a “Who should read what”-section that is advised to be consulted. All general chapters (Part A and D) should be read for all clusters. 2)The Train ID Handbook is available at Reference

10TAP Masterplanning kick-off25 September 2012 Reference data is technically centrally, but code allocation needs to be organised per country Questions mainly for Infrastructure Managers and National Contact Points  When will your company/country –identify the Code Allocation Entity in your country ?  proposed is that the largest IM in a country should execute this role or take care that this role is defined within their country –be able to populate the reference file ? –sign up to be registered on Reference File System (CRD) to execute tests ?

11TAP Masterplanning kick-off25 September 2012 The RU/IM Implementation Guide together with the message catalogue is the main result of Phase One and the base for implementation

12TAP Masterplanning kick-off25 September 2012 Commercial solutions outside the TAP legal frame are being prepared by some sector organisations Availability of support from stakeholder groups Commercial/voluntary support of activities outside the legal TSI frame  Related initiatives such as PCS 1 can support IMs and RUs on a voluntary basis  Activities to implement TAP in these initiatives will take place after the final specifications and the ability of users become clear  The reference implementation of the Common Interface is available and can be used. More information: Specifications  TAP RU/ IM standards have been finalised by May 2012; going through CCM now Usability  Ability of companies to use the standards needs to be known via TAP Masterplan 1) Path Co-ordination System

13TAP Masterplanning kick-off25 September 2012 Future: Both mandatory RU/ IM work to fulfil the regulation as well as useful work to fulfil stakeholder requirements will start immediatly  Check the external specifications of the reference implementation of the CI (CCG CI). Relevant for TAF and TAP  Clarify stakeholder questions on deliverables  Check/enhance messages for Short Term Path Request for –Annual Path Requests –One Stop Shops –Coach Group (through coaches)  Code list maintenance  Create a wagon order message for passenger information –This is relevant for TAP only  Enhance work on Train Identification (see also previous slide) –Create technical messages needed for TAF and TAP –to accommodate passenger specific requirements Regulation driven Sector driven Most points are valid for both TAF and TAP A common TAP and TAF RU/ IM workstream will deal with these topics. The results will add to the existing baseline/standards.
