COMMISSION REGULATION (EU) 2016/919

of 27 May 2016

on the technical specification for interoperability relating to the ‘control-command and signalling’ subsystems of the rail system in the European Union

(Text with EEA relevance)

THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION,

Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,

Having regard to Directive 2008/57/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 17 June 2008 on the interoperability of the rail system within the Community (1), and in particular the second subparagraph of Article 6(1) thereof,

Whereas:

| (1) | Commission Decision 2012/88/EU (2) as amended by Commission Decisions 2012/696/EU (3) and (EU) 2015/14 (4) laid down the technical specification for interoperability (TSI) relating to the ‘control-command and signalling’ (CCS) subsystems. |
| --- | --- |

(1)

Commission Decision 2012/88/EU (2) as amended by Commission Decisions 2012/696/EU (3) and (EU) 2015/14 (4) laid down the technical specification for interoperability (TSI) relating to the ‘control-command and signalling’ (CCS) subsystems.

| (2) | Article 12 of Regulation (EC) No 881/2004 of the European Parliament and of the Council (5) requires the European Railway Agency (the Agency) to ensure that TSIs are adapted to technical progress, market trends and social requirements and to propose to the Commission the amendments to the TSIs which it considers necessary. |

On 10 December 2015, the Agency issued a recommendation relating to the CCS subsystems (ERA-REC-123-2015/REC). This Regulation is based on that recommendation.

| (4) | In accordance with Article 5(6) of Directive 2008/57/EC, technical aspects which are not covered by a TSI should be identified as ‘open points’ governed by national rules applicable in each Member State. Since there are no new open points in this Regulation, the national rules containing the conditions to be complied with for verifying interoperability pursuant to Article 17(2) of Directive 2008/57/EC, and the conformity assessment and verification procedures needed to apply those national rules, should already have been sent to the other Member States and the Commission. |

| (5) | Class B systems significantly hamper the interoperability of locomotives and traction units but are necessary to ensure safe operations where Class A systems are not implemented. It is therefore important to avoid creating additional obstacles to interoperability by, for example, altering these Class B systems or by introducing new systems. |

It is therefore important to avoid creating additional obstacles to interoperability by, for example, altering these Class B systems or by introducing new systems.

| (6) | A transparent plan for European Train Control System (ETCS) implementation and decommissioning of Class B systems should be required as it is an essential element to achieve the objectives of the Single European Railway Area. This is of particular importance when the relevant specific transmission module (STM) is not available on the market. |

In order to make testing principles more transparent and prepare the grounds for further harmonisation, it is necessary to lay down a requirement to publish engineering rules and the operational test scenarios.

| (8) | Since the implementation of provisions in point 6.1.2.3 of the Annex related to the transparent management of information on verification of trackside ETCS and GSM-R requires effective cooperation of Infrastructure Managers, the Agency should establish suitable collaboration measures to collect information and define common templates to facilitate information-sharing, addressing issues of confidentiality and intellectual property rights. |

| (9) | Even a successful certification process cannot always exclude that, when an on-board CCS subsystem interacts with a trackside CCS subsystem, one of the subsystems repeatedly fails to function or perform as intended under certain conditions. This may be due to deficiencies in the specifications, different interpretations, design errors or equipment being installed incorrectly. A more coordinated way to perform compatibility tests should be introduced in order to help operators to take appropriate decisions. |

The Class A train protection system is ETCS (2) whilst the Class A radio system is GSM-R.

For Class A train detection this TSI specifies only the requirements for the interface with other subsystems.

Class B systems for the trans-European rail system network are a limited set of train protection legacy systems that were in use in the trans- European rail network before 20 April 2001.

Class B systems for other parts of the network of the rail system in the European Union are a limited set of train protection legacy systems that were in use in that networks before 1 July 2015.

The list of Class B systems is established in the European Railway Agency technical documents ‘List of CCS Class B systems, ERA/TD/2011-11, version 3.0’.

The requirements for the Control-Command and Signalling On-board Subsystem are specified in relation to Class A radio mobiles and train protection.

The requirements for the Control-Command and Signalling Trackside Subsystem are specified in relation to:

2.3.   Application Levels (ETCS)

The interfaces specified by this TSI define the means of data transmission to, and (where appropriate) from trains. The ETCS specifications referenced by this TSI provide application levels from which a trackside implementation may choose the means of transmission that meet its requirements.

This TSI defines the requirements for all application levels.

A train equipped with Class A on-board train protection for a given application level must be able to operate on that level and any lower one:

| — | A train equipped with Class A on-board train protection for level 2 must be able to operate on that level and on level 1 lines. |
| --- | --- |

—

A train equipped with Class A on-board train protection for level 2 must be able to operate on that level and on level 1 lines.

| — | A train equipped with Class A on-board train protection for level 1 need not be equipped with a GSM-R ETCS Data Only Radio but must already implement all level 2 and level 3 functions so as to ensure that:






  — | the connection of a GSM-R ETCS Data Only Radio at a later stage will ensure it is equipped for level 2, |
| --- | --- | --- |

—

A train equipped with Class A on-board train protection for level 1 need not be equipped with a GSM-R ETCS Data Only Radio but must already implement all level 2 and level 3 functions so as to ensure that:

—

the connection of a GSM-R ETCS Data Only Radio at a later stage will ensure it is equipped for level 2,

| — | the connection of a GSM-R ETCS Data Only Radio and of train integrity detection at a later stage will ensure it is equipped for level 3. |
| --- | --- |

The requirements for Class B systems are the responsibility of the relevant Member State.

3.2.   Specific Aspects of the Control-Command and Signalling Subsystems

3.2.1.   Safety

Every project to which this specification is applied shall take the measures necessary to ensure that the level of risk of an incident occurring within the scope of the Control-Command and Signalling Subsystems, is not higher than the objective for the service. For this purpose the Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) No 402/2013 (3), as referred to in Article 6(3)(a) of Directive 2004/49/EC (Common Safety Method), applies.

To ensure that the measures taken to achieve safety do not jeopardise interoperability, the requirements of the basic parameter defined in point 4.2.1 (Control-Command and Signalling safety characteristics relevant to interoperability) shall be respected.

For the ETCS Class A system the safety objective is apportioned between the Control-Command and Signalling On-board and Trackside Subsystems. The detailed requirements are specified in the basic parameter defined in point 4.2.1 (Control-Command and Signalling safety characteristics relevant to interoperability). This safety requirement must be met together with the availability requirements as defined in Point 3.2.2 (Reliability and Availability).

3.2.2.   Reliability and Availability

For the Class A system, the reliability and availability objectives are apportioned between the Control-Command and Signalling On-board and Trackside Subsystems. The detailed requirements are specified in the basic parameter defined in point 4.2.1 (Control-Command and Signalling safety characteristics relevant to interoperability).

The level of risk shall be monitored as constituents of the subsystem age and wear. The requirements for maintenance stated in point 4.5 shall be respected.

3.2.3.   Health

In accordance with Union legislation and with national legislation that is compatible with the Union legislation, care shall be taken to ensure that the materials used in and the design of the Control-Command and Signalling Subsystems do not constitute a health hazard to persons having access to them.

Requirements for Class B systems and for STMs (which enable the Class A On-board system to operate on Class B infrastructure) are the responsibility of the appropriate Member State.

This TSI is based on the principles of enabling the Control-Command and Signalling Trackside Subsystem to be compatible with TSI-compliant Control-Command and Signalling On-board Subsystems. To achieve this goal:

| (1) | functions, interfaces and performances of the Control-Command and Signalling On-board Subsystem are standardised, ensuring that every train will react in a predictable way to data received from trackside; |

This basic parameter describes the requirements for the Control-Command and Signalling On-board Subsystem and Trackside subsystem with reference to point 3.2.1 (Safety) and point 3.2.2 (Availability and Reliability).

In order to achieve interoperability, when implementing Control-Command and Signalling On-board and Trackside subsystems the following provisions shall be respected:

| (1) | The design, implementation and use of a Control-Command and Signalling On-board or Trackside subsystem shall not export any requirements:

4.2.1.1.   Safety

The Control-Command and Signalling On-board and Trackside subsystems shall respect the requirements for ETCS equipment and installations stated in this TSI.

For the hazard ‘exceeding speed and/or distance limits advised to ETCS’ the tolerable rate (THR) is 10– 9 h– 1 for random failures, for on-board ETCS and for trackside ETCS. See Annex A 4.2.1 a.

To achieve interoperability, the on-board ETCS shall fully respect all requirements specified in Annex A 4.2.1. Nevertheless, less stringent safety requirements are acceptable for trackside ETCS provided that, in combination with TSI-compliant Control-Command and Signalling On-board subsystems, the safety level for the service is met.

4.2.1.2.   Availability/Reliability

This point refers to the occurrence of failure modes not causing safety hazards but creating degraded situations, the management of which could decrease the overall safety of the system.

In the context of this parameter, ‘failure’ means the termination of the ability of an item to perform a required function with the required performance and ‘failure mode’ means the effect by which the failure is observed.

To ensure that the relevant infrastructure managers and railway undertaking are given all the information they need to define appropriate procedures for managing degraded situations, the technical file accompanying the EC declaration of verification for an on-board or trackside CCS subsystem shall contain the calculated availability/reliability values related to failure modes having an impact on the capability of the CCS subsystem to supervise the safe movement of one or more vehicles or to establish radio voice communication between traffic control and the train drivers.

Compliance with the following calculated values shall be ensured:

| (1) | Mean time of hours of operation between failures of a CCS on-board subsystem requiring the isolation of the train protection functions: (open point). |
| --- | --- |

(1)

Mean time of hours of operation between failures of a CCS on-board subsystem requiring the isolation of the train protection functions: (open point).

| --- | --- |

(2)

Mean time of hours of operation between failures of a CCS on-board subsystem preventing radio voice communication between traffic control and the train driver: (open point).

To allow the infrastructure managers and railway undertakings to monitor, during the life of the subsystems, the level of risk and the respect of the reliability/availability values used for the definition of procedures to manage degraded situations, the requirements for maintenance stated in point 4.5 (Maintenance rules) shall be respected.

In such cases, assessment of conformity with those rules shall be carried out under the responsibility of the Member States concerned according to notified procedures. See point 6.4.2.

6.1.1.3.   Non-implementation of all requirements of this TSI

With regard to checking if essential requirements are fulfilled through compliance with the basic parameters, and without prejudice to the obligations set out in Chapter 7 of this TSI, control-command and signalling interoperability constituents and subsystems that do not implement all functions, performance and interfaces as specified in Chapter 4 (including the specifications referred to in Annex A), can obtain EC certificates of conformity or, respectively, certificates of verification, under the following conditions for issuing and using the certificates:

| (1) | the applicant for EC verification of a trackside control-command and signalling subsystem is responsible for deciding which functions, performance and interfaces need to be implemented to meet the objectives for the service and to ensure that no requirements contradicting or exceeding the TSIs are exported to the on-board control-command and signalling subsystems; |

6.1.2.   Principles for testing ETCS and GSM-R

6.1.2.1.   Goal

The goal to be achieved is that a Control-Command and Signalling On-board Subsystem covered by an ‘EC’ declaration of verification should be able to run on every Control-Command and Signalling Trackside Subsystem covered by an ‘EC’ Declaration of verification, under the conditions specified in this TSI, with no additional verifications.

Achievement of this goal is facilitated by:

| (1) | rules for the design and installation of the Control-Command and Signalling On-board and the Trackside subsystems; |
| --- | --- |

(1)

rules for the design and installation of the Control-Command and Signalling On-board and the Trackside subsystems;

| (2) | test specifications to prove that the Control-Command and Signalling On-board and Trackside Subsystems comply with the requirements of this TSI and are mutually compatible. |
| --- | --- |

(2)

test specifications to prove that the Control-Command and Signalling On-board and Trackside Subsystems comply with the requirements of this TSI and are mutually compatible.

6.1.2.2.   Operational test scenarios

For the purpose of this TSI, an ‘operational test scenario’ means the description of the intended railway system operation in situations relevant for ETCS and GSM-R (e.g. entry of a train into an equipped area, awakening of a train, overriding a signal at stop), by means of a sequence of trackside and on-board events related to or influencing the Control-command and Signalling subsystems (e.g. sending/receiving messages, exceeding a speed limit, actions of operators (17) and the specified timing between them.

The operational tests scenarios are based on the engineering rules adopted for the project.

Check of compliance of a real implementation with an operational tests scenario shall be possible gathering information through easily accessible interfaces (preferably the standard interfaces specified in this TSI).

6.1.2.3.   Requirements

To help the achievement of the goal mentioned above, Member States shall ensure that, when the process of EC Verification of a Trackside Control-command and Signalling subsystem is initiated, the engineering rules and the preliminary operational test scenarios related to the interactions of its ETCS and GSM-R parts with the corresponding parts of an On-board Control-command and Signalling Subsystem are made available to the European Railway Agency as soon as possible. The European Railway Agency shall be informed of any changes to operational tests scenarios used during the EC Verification.

The set of engineering rules for the trackside parts of ETCS and GSM-R and related operational test scenarios for the Trackside Control-command and Signalling Subsystem made available, shall be sufficient to describe all intended system operations relevant for the Trackside Control-command and Signalling Subsystem in normal and identified degraded situations, and:

| (1) | shall be consistent with the specifications referenced in this TSI; |
| --- | --- |

The European Railway Agency:

| (1) | shall publish the engineering rules for the trackside parts of ETCS and GSM-R and the operational test scenarios. After publication of preliminary scenarios or of their subsequent modifications, all interested parties shall be allowed to comment on the consistency of the operational test scenarios with the conditions stated in the three intends above. The period for comments shall be defined with each publication and shall not exceed six months; this period shall not be a constraint on the continuation/finalisation of the EC Verification of the relevant Trackside subsystem(s); |

Particular attention shall be given to assessing the conformity of the on-board ETCS interoperability constituent, since it is complex and plays a key role in achieving interoperability.

Regardless of whether module CB or CH1 is chosen, the Notified Body shall check that

| (1) | a representative specimen of the interoperability constituent has been submitted to a full set of test sequences including all test cases necessary to check the functions referenced in point 4.2.2 (on-board ETCS functionality). The applicant is responsible to define the test cases and their organisation in sequences, if this is not included in specifications referenced in this TSI; |

The applicant is responsible to define the test cases and their organisation in sequences, if this is not included in specifications referenced in this TSI;

| (2) | these tests were carried out in a laboratory accredited in accordance with Regulation (EC) No 765/2008 of the European Parliament and of the Council (20) to carry out tests with the use of the test architecture and the procedures specified in Annex A 4.2.2c. |

these tests were carried out in a laboratory accredited in accordance with Regulation (EC) No 765/2008 of the European Parliament and of the Council (20) to carry out tests with the use of the test architecture and the procedures specified in Annex A 4.2.2c.

The laboratory shall provide a full report clearly indicating the results of the tests cases and sequences used. The Notified Body is responsible to assess the suitability of test cases and sequences to check compliance with all relevant requirements and to evaluate the results of tests in view of the certification of the Interoperability Constituent.

6.2.4.2.   The Specific Transmission Module (STM)

Each Member State shall be responsible for verifying that STMs conform to its national requirements.

Verification of the STM interface to the on-board ETCS requires a conformity assessment carried out by a Notified Body.

6.2.5.   Additional tests

To increase confidence that the On-board ETCS Interoperability Constituent will operate correctly when installed in On-board Control-command and Signalling Subsystems running on different Trackside Control-command and Signalling applications, it is recommended that it is tested using relevant scenarios from the ones published by the Agency; see point 6.1.2 (Principles for testing ETCS and GSM-R). The tests can be performed using real equipment or a simulated Trackside Control-command and Signalling Subsystem.

These tests are not mandatory for the certification of the On-board ETCS Interoperability Constituent. The applicant for certification of the Interoperability Constituent may decide to perform them and have them assessed by a Notified Body; the corresponding documentation shall provide information about the operational test scenarios against which the Interoperability Constituent has been checked and whether tests have been carried out with simulators or using real equipment, including type and version of such equipment.

Performing these tests at the level of Interoperability Constituent may also reduce the amount of checks at the level of Control-command and Signalling Subsystem (see Table 6.2, last row, and point 6.5).

Note: while it is not mandatory to perform tests using different operational scenarios, it must be noted that these tests may assist the verification of the Interoperability Constituent to eliminate as much as possible systematic failures, which is mandatory to obtain an EC certificate of conformity.

6.2.6.   Content of the ‘EC’ Declaration of conformity

The ‘EC’ Declaration of conformity specified in Annex IV of Directive 2008/57/EC shall include the following details concerning the interoperability constituent:

6.4.2.   Assessment in case of application of National Rules

If some essential requirements are fulfilled by national rules, the EC certificate of conformity for an interoperability constituent and the certificate of verification for a subsystem shall make precise reference to the parts of this TSI whose conformity has been assessed and the parts whose conformity has not been assessed.

6.4.3.   Partial fulfilment of the requirements due to limited application of the TSI

6.4.3.1.   Interoperability constituents

If an interoperability constituent does not implement all functions, performance and interfaces specified in this TSI, an EC certificate of conformity may only be issued if the unimplemented functions, interfaces or performance are not required to integrate the interoperability constituent into a subsystem for the use indicated by the applicant, for example (22),

| (1) | the on-board ETCS interface to STM if the interoperability constituent is intended for installation on vehicles in which no external STM is needed; |
| --- | --- |

(1)

the on-board ETCS interface to STM if the interoperability constituent is intended for installation on vehicles in which no external STM is needed;

| --- | --- |

(2)

the RBC interface to other RBCs, if the RBC is intended for use in an application for which no neighbouring RBCs are planned.

6.4.3.2.   Subsystems

If a control-command and signalling subsystem does not implement all functions, performance and interfaces of this TSI (e.g. because they are not implemented by an interoperability constituent integrated into it), the certificate of verification shall indicate which requirements have been assessed and the corresponding conditions and restrictions on the use of the subsystem and its compatibility with other subsystems.

6.4.3.3.   Content of certificates

In any event, notified bodies shall coordinate with the Agency the way in which conditions and limits of use of interoperability constituents and subsystems are managed in the relevant certificates and technical files in the working group set up under Article 21a(5) of Regulation (EC) No 881/2004 of the European Parliament and of the Council (23).

6.4.4.   Intermediate Statement of Verification

If conformity is assessed for parts of subsystems specified by the applicant and different from the parts allowed by point 4.1 (Introduction) of this TSI, or if only certain stages of the verification procedure have been performed, only an intermediate statement of verification may be issued.

6.5.   Compatibility tests and management of errors

The basic parameters specified in chapter 4 and assessed according to points 6.1, 6.2, 6.3 and 6.4 of this TSI and, where necessary, specific cases and notified national rules for open points, are sufficient to determine the technical compatibility and safe integration between an On- board and a Trackside Control-command and Signalling subsystem.

To support the operators to take appropriate decisions on the use of an On-board (respectively, Trackside) Control-Command and Signalling subsystem, the applicant for EC Verification, at the request of the relevant operator, shall perform compatibility tests (on-site or in laboratories providing a simulated environment) where the subsystem interacts with Trackside (respectively, On-board) subsystems that are relevant for its intended use. In case compatibility tests are carried out, the applicant shall provide evidence and test results to the relevant Safety Authority.

It should be noted that some of these tests can already be performed at the level of Interoperability Constituents (see point 6.2.4.1).

For ETCS and GSM-R, the operational test scenarios of the relevant trackside subsystem (see point 6.1.2) are the basis of these verifications.

Compatibility tests are not in the scope of a certificate of verification. If they are performed and assessed by a Notified Body, upon request of the applicant, according to a selected module, the corresponding documentation shall identify the Control-command and Signalling Subsystems with which compatibility has been checked, with indication of types and versions of equipment and of operational test scenarios applied.

Where the outcome of any additional tests demonstrate that modifications are required to documentation submitted to the relevant Safety Authority as evidence for the authorisation of the subsystem, then the project entity performing the additional tests shall ensure that the relevant Safety Authority is notified of the changes.

Where deviations from intended functions and/or performance are detected during the abovementioned tests or during the operational life of a subsystem, the applicants and/or operators shall inform the Safety Authorities that issued the authorisations for the concerned subsystems, to initiate the procedures set out in Article 19 of Directive 2008/57/EC, as a result of the application of Article 19(3) of that Directive:

| (1) | if the deviation is due to incorrect application of this TSI or to errors in design or installation of equipment, the applicant for the relevant certificates shall take the necessary corrective actions and the certificates affected (for interoperability constituents and/or subsystems) shall be updated; |
| --- | --- |

(1)

if the deviation is due to incorrect application of this TSI or to errors in design or installation of equipment, the applicant for the relevant certificates shall take the necessary corrective actions and the certificates affected (for interoperability constituents and/or subsystems) shall be updated;

| (2) | if the deviation is due to errors in this TSI or in specifications referenced therein, the procedure set out in Article 7 of the Directive 2008/57/EC shall be initiated. |
| --- | --- |

(2)

if the deviation is due to errors in this TSI or in specifications referenced therein, the procedure set out in Article 7 of the Directive 2008/57/EC shall be initiated.

To support ERA to improve the ETCS specifications and the process for EC certification and verification, and to facilitate the European deployment of ETCS, the documentation of compatibility tests described above and the reports of the tests performed by suppliers of the ETCS on-board and trackside as part of their product validation processes shall be made transparent for the system authority ERA. ERA shall organise an efficient processing of the information received in order to facilitate the Change Control Management process for improvement/further development of the specifications, including the test specifications.

7.   IMPLEMENTING THE TSI CONTROL-COMMAND AND SIGNALLING

7.1.   Introduction

This Chapter outlines the strategy and the associated technical measures for implementing the TSI, and in particular the conditions for migrating to Class A systems.

Account must be taken of the fact that the implementation of a TSI occasionally has to be coordinated with the implementation of other TSIs.

7.2.   Generally applicable rules

7.2.1.   Upgrading or renewing the Control-Command Subsystems or parts of them

Upgrading or renewing the Control-Command and Signalling Subsystems may concern any or all of the parts constituting them, as specified in point 2.2.

The different parts of the Control-Command and Signalling Subsystems may therefore be upgraded or renewed separately, if interoperability is not jeopardised.

See Chapter 4.1 (Introduction) for the definition of the basic parameters for each part.

7.2.2.   Legacy systems

Member States shall ensure that the functionality of the legacy systems and their interfaces remains unchanged, except where modifications are needed to mitigate safety-related flaws in these systems.

7.2.3.   Availability of Specific Transmission Modules

If lines that fall within the scope of this TSI are not equipped with the Class A train protection system, the Member State shall make every effort to ensure the availability of an external Specific Transmission Module (STM) for its legacy Class B train protection system or systems.

In this context, due regard is to be given to ensuring an open market for STMs under fair commercial conditions. If, for technical or commercial reasons (24) the availability of an STM cannot be ensured, the Member State concerned shall inform the Committee referred to in Article 29(1) of Directive 2008/57/EC of the underlying reasons for the problem and of the mitigation measures that it intends to put into place in order to allow operators — and in particular foreign operators — access to its infrastructure.

7.2.4.   Additional Class B equipment on a line equipped with Class A

On a line equipped with ETCS and/or GSM-R, additional Class B equipment may be installed in order to allow the operation of rolling stock not compatible with Class A during the migration phase.

Trackside shall support transitions between Class A and Class B without imposing on the Control-Command and Signalling On-board Subsystem requirements additional to those specified in this TSI.

7.2.5.   Rolling stock with Class A and Class B equipment

Rolling stock may be equipped with both Class A and Class B systems to enable operation on several lines.

The Member State concerned may restrict the use of an on-board Class B system on lines where the corresponding system is not installed trackside.

When running on a line which is equipped with both Class A and Class B systems, a train that is also equipped with both Class A and Class B systems may use the Class B systems as a fallback arrangement. Being equipped with a Class B system in addition to Class A shall not be a requirement for the compatibility of a vehicle with lines where Class B is installed in parallel with Class A.

The Class B train protection systems may be implemented:

| (1) | using an STM operating via the standard interface (‘external STM’); or |
| --- | --- |

(1)

using an STM operating via the standard interface (‘external STM’); or

| (2) | integrated within the ETCS equipment or connected via a non- standard interface; or |
| --- | --- |

(2)

integrated within the ETCS equipment or connected via a non- standard interface; or

| (3) | independently from the ETCS equipment, for example via a system that enables switching between equipment. The railway undertaking must then ensure that the transitions between Class A and Class B train protection are carried out in conformity with the requirements of this TSI and with the national rules for the Class B system. |
| --- | --- |

(3)

independently from the ETCS equipment, for example via a system that enables switching between equipment. The railway undertaking must then ensure that the transitions between Class A and Class B train protection are carried out in conformity with the requirements of this TSI and with the national rules for the Class B system.

7.2.6.   Conditions for mandatory and optional functions

The applicant for EC Verification of a Control-command and Signalling Trackside subsystem shall check whether Control-command and Signalling Trackside functions, which are defined ‘optional’ in this TSI, are required by other TSIs or national rules or by the application of risk evaluation and assessment to ensure safe integration of subsystems.

The trackside implementation of national or optional functions must not prevent the use of that infrastructure by a train that complies only with the mandatory requirements of the On-board Class A system except as required for the following on-board optional functions:

| (1) | An ETCS Level 3 Trackside application requires train integrity supervision on-board; |
| --- | --- |

(1)

An ETCS Level 3 Trackside application requires train integrity supervision on-board;

| (2) | An ETCS Level 1 Trackside application with infill requires corresponding in-fill functionality on-board if the release speed is set to zero for safety reasons (e.g. protection of danger points). |
| --- | --- |

(2)

An ETCS Level 1 Trackside application with infill requires corresponding in-fill functionality on-board if the release speed is set to zero for safety reasons (e.g. protection of danger points).

| (3) | When ETCS needs data transmission by radio, the data radio communication part as specified in this TSI is required. |
| --- | --- |

(3)

When ETCS needs data transmission by radio, the data radio communication part as specified in this TSI is required.

7.5.   Train detection systems specific implementation rules

In the context of this TSI, train detection system means the equipment installed trackside, which detects the presence or absence of vehicles either on an entire line of route or on a local point of it.

Trackside systems (e.g. interlocking or level crossing control systems) which use information from detection equipment are not considered parts of the train detection system.

This TSI specifies the requirements for the interface with rolling stock only to the extent necessary to ensure compatibility between TSI-compliant rolling stock and the Control-command and Signalling Trackside.

Implementing a train detection system that is compliant with the requirements of the Control-Command and Signalling Subsystems TSI can be done independently of the installation of ETCS or GSM-R, but can be dependent on the Class B train protection systems or on special requirements, e.g. for level crossing equipment.

The requirements of this TSI relating to train detection systems shall be respected when:

| (1) | upgrading the train detection system; |
| --- | --- |

(1)

upgrading the train detection system;

| (2) | renewing the train detection system, provided that respecting the requirements of this TSI does not imply unwanted modifications or upgrades of other trackside or on-board systems; |
| --- | --- |

(2)

renewing the train detection system, provided that respecting the requirements of this TSI does not imply unwanted modifications or upgrades of other trackside or on-board systems;

| --- | --- |

(3)

renewing the train detection system, where this is required by the upgrade or renewal of trackside systems that use information from the train detection system;

| (4) | removing Class B train protection systems where the train detection and train protection systems are integrated. |
| --- | --- |

(4)

removing Class B train protection systems where the train detection and train protection systems are integrated.

In the migration phase care shall be taken to ensure that installing a TSI-compliant train detection system has a minimal negative impact on the existing non-TSI-compliant rolling stock.

To achieve this, it is recommended that the Infrastructure Manager selects a TSI-compliant train detection system that, at the same time, is compatible with the non-TSI-compliant rolling stock already operating on that infrastructure.

Specifications

One of the three tables in Table A 2 (Table A 2.1, Table A 2.2, Table A 2.3) of this Annex shall be applied.

When a document listed in Table A 2 incorporates, by copying or by reference to, a clearly identified clause of another document, this clause, and only this, shall be considered a part of the document listed in Table A 2.

For the purposes of this TSI, when a document listed in Table A 2 makes a ‘mandatory’ or ‘normative’ reference to a document not listed in Table A 2, the referenced document shall always be understood as an acceptable means of compliance with basic parameters (that can be used for certification of Interoperability Constituents and Subsystems and not requiring future revisions of the TSI) and not as a mandatory specification.

Note: specifications indicated as ‘Reserved’ in Table A 2 are also listed as open points in Annex G when there is a need for notification of national rules to close the corresponding open points. Reserved documents not listed as open points are intended as improvements to the system.
