11
Common vehicle application file (1/2)
Specific issues regarding the vehicle : Authorized twice ; Opposite requirements may occur. Example : Light rail vehicle (French tram-train) ; Mainline – Crashworthiness targets ; Urban – Visibility requirements. IRSC 2017 – Regulations Challenges

13
Interlinking subsystem (1/2)
Specific issues : Cross-risks ; Location of mitigating measures. Example : Tram-train system ; Standard rails on the mainline part ; Grooved rails on the urban part ; Risk : derailment on the urban part ; Mitigating measure : specific signalling device on the mainline part.

IRSC 2017 – Regulations Challenges
Building the new rules A regulatory body based on three texts : Decree n° ; An implementing act (Arrêté du 30 mars 2017) ; A non-mandatory guide. Involving the sector : At the early stages ; Working group coordinated by EPSF and STRMTG ; With representatives involved in the authorization process ; With a responsive sector. Designing details : Within the same timeframe of the general principles ; To make sure they are applicable and efficient. IRSC 2017 – Regulations Challenges
