ANNEX
1.   INTRODUCTION

1.1.   Technical scope

1.1.1.   This specification concerns data about the following subsystems of the Union rail system:






(a)


the infrastructure structural subsystem,










(b)


the energy structural subsystem, and










(c)


the trackside control-command and signalling subsystem.




1.1.2.   These subsystems are included in the list of subsystems in Annex II (1) to Directive 2008/57/EC.
1.2.   Geographical scope

The geographical scope of this specification is the European Union rail system as determined by Directive 2008/57/EC. It excludes the cases referred to in Article 1(3) of Directive 2008/57/EC.
2.   PURPOSE

2.1.   General

The main purpose of the register of infrastructure provided for in article 35 of Directive 2008/57/EC (RINF) is to provide transparency on the characteristics of the network. The information provided by the RINF is used for planning purposes in designing new trains, for assisting the assessment of compatibility of trains with routes before the start of operation and for use as a reference database. Therefore the RINF supports the processes described hereafter.
2.2.   Designing Rolling Stock subsystems

Parameters from the RINF shall be used to identify infrastructure characteristics for the intended use of the rolling stock.
2.3.   Ensuring technical compatibility for fixed installations

2.3.1.   The notified body checks the conformity of the subsystems with the applicable TSI(s). Verification of interfaces for technical compatibility with the network into which a subsystem is incorporated may be ensured by consulting the RINF.
2.3.2.   The body designated by each Member State checks the conformity of the subsystems when national rules apply and the RINF may be consulted to verify the interfaces for technical compatibility in these cases.
2.4.   Monitoring progress of interoperability of the European Union railway network

Transparency about the progress of interoperability shall be ensured to monitor regularly the development of a European Union interoperable network.
2.5.   Ascertaining route compatibility for proposed train service

2.5.1.   Compatibility with the route for the proposed train service is checked before the railway undertaking procures access to the network from the infrastructure manager. The railway undertaking must be sure that the route intended to be used is capable of supporting its train.
2.5.2.   The railway undertaking chooses vehicles considering any restrictions on the authorisation for placing in service and a possible route for the train intended to run:






(a)


all vehicles in the train must comply with the requirements applicable on the routes over which the train will run and










(b)


the train as a combination of vehicles must comply with the technical constraints of the route concerned.




3.   COMMON FEATURES

The features set out in this Annex are common to all registers of infrastructure of the Member States.
3.1.   Definitions

For the purpose of these specifications:






(a)


‘section of line’ (SoL) means the part of line between adjacent operational points and may consist of several tracks;










(b)

(c)


‘running track’ means any track used for train service movements; passing loops and meeting loops on plain line or track connections only required for train operation are not published;










(d)


‘siding’ means any track within an operational point, which is not used for operational routing of a train.




3.2.   Railway network structure for the RINF

3.2.1.   For the purpose of the RINF, each Member State shall subdivide its railway network into sections of line and operational points.
3.2.2.   Items to be published for ‘section of line’ related to infrastructure, energy and track-side control-command and signalling subsystems shall be assigned to the infrastructure element ‘running track’.

4.2.   Administration of the Common User Interface

The common user interface (CUI) shall be a web based application set up, managed and maintained by the Agency.
The Agency shall make available to the NREs the following files and documents to be used for the setting up of the registers of infrastructure and connecting them with the common user interface (CUI);






—


User manual;










—


Specification of the structure of the files for the transmission of data.




The Agency shall make available to the RINF users an Application Guide describing the way the registers of infrastructure of each Member States are to be connected to the CUI and the functionalities and utilities provided by the CUI. Where appropriate, this guide will be updated.
4.3.   Minimum required functionality of the CUI

The CUI shall provide at least the following functionalities:






—


User Management: the CUI administrator must be able to manage users' access rights.










—


Information Auditing: the CUI administrator must be able to view the logs of all user activity performed on the CUI as a list of the activities that have been performed by CUI users within a particular timeframe.










—


Connectivity and Authentication: the registered CUI users must be able to connect to the CUI via internet and use its functionalities according to their rights.










—


Search for RINF data including OPs and/or SoLs with particular RINF characteristics.










—


Select an OP or a SoL and view its RINF details: the CUI users must be able to define a geographical area using the map interface and the CUI provides the available RINF data requested by the users for this area.










—


View RINF information for a specified subset of lines and OPs in a defined area via a map interface.










—


Visual Representation of RINF items on digital map: the users, through the CUI, must be able to navigate, select an item depicted on the map and retrieve any relevant RINF information.










—


Validation, Upload & Reception of the full RINF data sets provided by a national register entity.




4.4.   Operating mode

The RINF system provides two main interfaces via the CUI:






—


One is used by the register of infrastructure of each Member State in order to provide/upload copies of their full RINF data;










—


The other is used by CUI users in order to connect to the RINF system and retrieve RINF information.




The CUI central database will be fed with copies of the full sets of RINF data maintained at the register of infrastructure of each Member State. In particular, NREs shall undertake the responsibility to create files that encapsulate the full set of RINF data available in their register of infrastructure following the specifications of the Table of this Annex. They shall make regular updates, at least every three months, of items that are in their register of infrastructure. One update should coincide with the annual publication of the Network Statement.
Then NREs shall upload the files to the CUI through a dedicated interface provided for this operation. A specific module will facilitate the validation and uploading of data provided by NREs.
The CUI central database shall make data sent by NREs publicly available without any modification.
The basic functionality of the CUI shall allow users to searches and retrieves RINF data.
The CUI shall retain the complete historical record of all the data made available by NREs. Those records shall be stored for 2 years from the date of withdrawal of the data.
The Agency, as administrator of the CUI, shall provide access to users upon request.
Answers to the queries initiated by the CUI users shall be provided within 24 hours from the moment the query was initiated.
4.5.   Availability

The Common User Interface shall be available 7 days a week, from 02:00 GMT — 21:00 GMT, depending on daylight savings time. The unavailability of the system shall be minimal during maintenance.
In the case of failure outside the normal working hours of the Agency, the actions to restore the service shall start the next Agency working day.
