1. INTRODUCTION
1.1. Technical scope
This Technical Specification for Interoperability (‘TSI’) covers the ‘operation and traffic management’ subsystem shown in the list contained in point 1 and defined in point 2.5 of Annex II to Directive (EU) 2016/797.
1.2. Geographical scope
The geographical scope of this Regulation is the Union's network as specified in section 1 to Annex I of Directive (EU) 2016/797 and excludes the cases referred to in Article 1(3) and 1(4) of Directive (EU) 2016/797.
1.3. Content of this Regulation
In accordance with Article 4(3) of Directive (EU) 2016/797, this Regulation:
(a)
indicates its intended scope for the ‘operation and traffic management’ subsystem;
(b)
lays down essential requirements for the subsystem concerned and its interfaces vis-à-vis other subsystems;
(c)
establishes the functional and technical specifications to be met by the target subsystem and its interfaces vis-à-vis other subsystems. If necessary, these specifications may vary according to the use of the subsystem;
(d)
determines the interoperability constituents and interfaces covered by European specifications, including European standards, which are necessary to achieve interoperability within the European rail system;
(e)
states, in each case under consideration, which procedures are to be used in order to assess the conformity or suitability for use of the interoperability constituents;
(f)
indicates the strategy for implementing the TSI. In particular, it is necessary to specify the stages to be completed and the elements that may be applied in order to make a gradual transition from the existing situation to the final situation in which compliance with the TSI shall be the norm;
(g)
indicates, for the staff concerned, the professional qualifications and health and safety conditions at work required for the operation and maintenance of the subsystem concerned, as well as for the implementation of the TSI;
(h)
indicates the provisions applicable to the existing non TSI conform subsystems and vehicles, in particular in the event of upgrading and renewal and, in such cases, the modification work which requires an application for a new authorisation;
(i)
indicates the parameters of the vehicles and fixed subsystems to be checked by the railway undertaking and the procedures to be applied to check those parameters after the delivery of the vehicle authorisation for placing on the market and before the first use of the vehicle to ensure compatibility between vehicles and the routes on which they are to be operated.
Moreover, in accordance with Article 4(5) of Directive (EU) 2016/797, provision may be made for specific cases for each TSI.
2. DESCRIPTION OF SCOPE
2.1. Staff and trains
Points 4.6 and 4.7 apply to those staff undertaking the safety-critical tasks associated with accompanying a train.
Point 4.6.2 applies to train drivers without prejudice to point 8 of Annex VI to Directive 2007/59/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council ( 1 ) .
For those staff undertaking the safety-critical tasks associated with despatching trains and authorising train movements, mutual recognition of professional qualifications and health and safety conditions between Member States shall apply.
For those staff undertaking the safety-critical tasks associated with the last preparation of a train before it is scheduled to cross a border(s) and work beyond any location(s) designated as the ‘frontier’ in the network statement of an infrastructure manager and included in its safety authorisation, point 4.6 shall apply while mutual recognition between Member States shall apply for point 4.7. A train shall not be considered to be a cross border service, if it complies with the conditions of point (8) of Article 10 of Directive (EU) 2016/798.
2.2. Principles
This Regulation covers those elements of the rail ‘operation and traffic management’ subsystem, where there are operational interfaces between railway undertakings and infrastructure managers and where there is a particular benefit to interoperability.
Railway undertaking and infrastructure manager shall ensure that all requirements concerning rules and procedures as well as documentation are met by the establishment of the appropriate processes. The set-up of these processes is a relevant part of railway undertaking's and infrastructure manager's safety management system (hereinafter referred to as ‘SMS’) as required by Directive (EU) 2016/798. The SMS itself is assessed by the relevant national safety authority (hereinafter referred to as ‘NSA’) before granting safety authorisation and by the European Union Agency for Railways or the relevant NSA before granting safety certificate.
2.3. Applicability to existing non TSI conform vehicles and infrastructure
While the majority of the requirements contained in this Regulation relates to processes and procedures, a number also relates to physical elements of vehicles and infrastructure that are important for their operational function in the context of this Regulation.
Those physical elements are specified in the structural TSIs covering other subsystems than operation and traffic management. They have to be assessed according to the procedures defined in those TSIs.
None of the provisions of this Regulation shall be used to justify a national rule under a structural TSI.
3. ESSENTIAL REQUIREMENTS

This point deals with staff who contributes to the operation of the subsystem by performing safety-critical tasks involving a direct interface between a railway undertaking and an infrastructure manager.
(1)
Railway undertaking staff:
(a)
undertaking the task of driving trains (‘driver’) and forming part of the ‘train crew’,
(b)
undertaking tasks on-board (other than driving) and forming part of the ‘train crew’,
(c)
undertaking the task of preparing trains.
(2)
Infrastructure manager's staff undertaking the task of authorising the movement of trains
The areas covered are:
—
Documentation
—
Communication
In addition, for the staff as defined in point 2.1, this Regulation sets out requirements on:
—
Qualifications (see point 4.6 and Appendix G)
—
Health and safety conditions (see point 4.7)
4.2.1.2. Documentation for drivers
The railway undertaking operating the train shall supply the driver with all the necessary information and documentation required to carry out her/his duties; they may be paper based or in electronic format.
This information shall take into account the necessary elements for operation in normal, degraded and emergency situations for the routes to be worked over and the rolling stock used on those routes.
4.2.1.2.1.
Driver's Rule Book
All the necessary procedures for the driver shall be included in a document or a computer medium called the ‘Driver's Rule Book’.
The Driver's Rule Book shall state the requirements for all the routes worked and the rolling stock used on those routes according to the situations of normal operation, degraded operation and in emergency situations which the driver may encounter.
The Driver's Rule Book shall cover two distinct aspects:
—
one which describes the set of common rules and procedures (taking into account the contents of Appendices A, B and C),
—
another which sets out any necessary rules and procedures specific to each infrastructure manager.
It shall include procedures covering, as a minimum, the following aspects:
—
Staff safety and security,
—
Signalling and control command,
—
Train operation including degraded mode,
—
Traction and rolling stock,
—
Incidents and accidents.
The railway undertaking shall be responsible for the Driver's Rule Book and compile it in such a way that it is complete and accurate, and the driver's application of all operational rules is enabled.
The railway undertaking must present the Driver's Rule Book in a clear format for the entire infrastructure over which their drivers will work.
It shall have two appendices:
—
Appendix 1: Manual of communication procedures;
—
Appendix 2: Book of Forms.
Predefined messages and forms shall at least exist in the ‘operating’ language(s) of infrastructure manager(s).
The railway undertaking's process for preparing and updating the Driver's Rule Book shall include the following steps:
—
the infrastructure manager (or the organisation responsible for the preparation of the operating rules) shall provide the railway undertaking with the appropriate information in the infrastructure manager's operating language,
—
the railway undertaking shall draw up the initial or updated document;
—
if the language chosen by the railway undertaking for the Driver's Rule Book is not the language in which the appropriate information was originally supplied, it is the responsibility of the railway undertaking to arrange for any necessary translation and/or provide explanatory notes in another language.
The infrastructure manager shall ensure that the content of the documentation provided to the railway undertaking(s) is complete and accurate.
4.2.1.2.2.
Description of the line and the relevant line-side equipment associated with the lines worked over
Drivers shall be provided with a description of the lines and the associated line-side equipment for the lines over which they shall operate and relevant to the driving task. Such information shall be set out in a single document called the ‘Route Book’.
The following is a list of information which shall, as a minimum, be provided:
—
the general operating characteristics,
—
indication of rising and falling gradients,
—
detailed line diagram.
4.2.1.2.2.1. Preparation of the Route Book
The format of the Route Book shall be prepared in the same manner for all the infrastructures worked over by the trains of an individual railway undertaking.
The railway undertaking is responsible for the complete and correct compilation of the Route book, using the information supplied by the infrastructure manager(s).

The route compatibility process shall not duplicate processes performed as part of the vehicle authorisation under Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2018/545 ( 6 ) to ensure technical compatibility between the vehicle and the network(s). Parameters of Appendix D1 already verified and checked during vehicle authorisation or other similar processes shall not be reassessed in the framework of route compatibility check.
For vehicle authorised under Directive (EU) 2016/797, the relevant vehicle data related to the parameters listed in Appendix D1, already checked during the authorisation process, being part of:
—
the file referred to in Article 21(3) of Directive (EU) 2016/797, and
—
the vehicle authorisation as referred to in Article 21(10) of Directive (EU) 2016/797,
shall be provided by the applicant referred to in Article 2(22) of Directive (EU) 2016/797 or the keeper to the railway undertaking upon request, when such information is not available in ERATV or other registers for rail vehicles.
For vehicles authorised before Directive (EU) 2016/797, the relevant vehicle data related to the parameters listed in Appendix D1 shall be provided to the railway undertaking by the holder of the vehicle authorisation documentation or the keeper upon request, when such information is not available in ERATV or other registers for rail vehicles.
The processes for route compatibility in the SMS of the railway undertaking shall include the following checks, which may be performed in parallel at any appropriate time or in any appropriate sequence:
—
each vehicle is authorised and registered;
—
each vehicle in the train is compatible with the route;
—
the composition of the train is compatible with the route and the path;
—
the preparation of the train ensuring that the train is correctly formed and complete.
(B)
