Bruxelles, 29/30 th January, 2014 Report on TSI OPE revision RISC 69 th

Focus of the revision Appendix B “Other rules enabling a coherent operation” Appendix C “Safety related communication methodology” Appendix D “Information to which the RU must have access in connection with the route(s) over which he intends to operate” Appendix T “Braking performance” Train rear end signal for international & domestic freight trains TSI RISC2

Appendix B New: common operational principles and rules -Methodology was agreed (and presented here with ERA’s intermediate report) -Comments were taken into account -Start of inventory of existing operating procedures -Risk-based approach  General principles in form of operational requirements  Appendix B – common operational principles and rules TSI RISC3

Topics covered in the revised Appendix B Top/down and Bottom up approach Transfer from Appendix A to Appendix B Transfer from Appendix A to Appendix C No common basis – postponed to a future revision Passing a signal at stop aspect with authorisation running on sightWritten ordersrunning with caution Failure of level crossingEmergency call Procedure for arrival Complete failure of front end lights No authorisation for train movement at the expected time Speeds in degraded mode Failure of voice radio communication (including GSM-R) Departure of a train Immediate actions to prevent danger to trains Failure of the audible warning device Failure/missing rear end signal Anomalies in lineside signalling Assistance to a failed train TSI RISC4

Appendix C Safety related communications methodology Cleaned, clarified and restructured Predefined messages mostly kept in TSI Agreed to request a study on communication methodology with a specific target on the safety benefits of predefined messages Background: – CER wants to delete predefined messages in the TSI due to doubts on the benefits – ERA regards them as important, especially for those working in other than mother tongue – Some IMs have introduced predefined messages and strongly support them TSI RISC5

Appendix D Elements the Infrastructure Manager has to provide to the RU for the Route Book and for the train compatibility over the route intended for operation Before: collection of data elements that are – Necessary for train planning – Part of the RINF – Necessary for train operation – Not relevant at all Now: 2 sets of elements relevant for – RU’s preparation of the driver’s route book – RU’s check of train’s compliance with the path TSI RISC6

Train rear end signal - Invitation to clarify/amend operational rules in order to accept plates on all networks when acceptable -Rear end signal for freight trains crossing borders must be accepted for domestic freight trains as well, existing solutions may continue -  implicit transition periods with a clear target TSI RISC7

Appendix T  Braking performance 1 st step in 2010/314/EC: – IM defines the required braking performance, RU defines the rules of train calculation and fulfils IM’s requirement. 2 nd step now: – IM delivers the track side information (gradients; speeds, stopping distances with safety margins) – RU calculates the required braking performance and ensures that the train fulfils the requirement – Existing braking tables can be used TSI RISC8

New standard procedure TSI RISC line characteristics + line safety margins IMRST marginsRU necessary train braking performance RU Can the train fulfil it? RU Ensure that train achieves necessary brake performance during operation RU appropriate measures + no yes planning In case BP not achieved during operation 9

In summary TSI RISC10 TSIs RST allow for new developments Capacity needs new developments RUs are looking for efficiency and safety at the same time Technology allows new solutions Restriction to old solutions like existing braking tables Forcing IMs to follow RST developments for braking performance Obliging IM to take responsibility for RST-related calculations (required braking performance) SMS shall support improvements and internal transparency Recommended revised Appendix T shows a way out for the future allowing IMs and RUs to agree on a transition period (without limitation)
