Overview
Background & Policy context
The European rail traffic management system has become increasingly important in transport research both at a national level as well as for compliance with the trans-European rail network as greater emphasis is placed on rail use.
Objectives
The main objectives are:
- harmonising rules and regulations for the new ERTMS control-command system
- determining the safety problems related to the rules and regulations
- establishing fair competition by fixing a common level of regulation
- facilitating the transition period between existing control-command systems and ERTMS and identification of legal obstacles to harmonisation
- disseminating the results of the project to all European railways involved in ERTMS by preparing a pre-standardised set of rules and regulations
Methodology
The project will:
- establish a reference guide of the fundamental ERTMS rules
- establish abstracts for drivers and signalmen
- develop pre-standardised ERTMS rules
- develop a computer based risk assessment model
