The goal of a Europe-wide standardized certification and permission process Contents 1. Development of Rolling Stock Market 2. Approval of Urban Transport Vehicles in Europe 3. Approval of Urban Transport Vehicles in Germany 4. Standardization of Urban Rail Systems in Europe 5. MODSafe Project 6. Simplification and Acceleration of Approval Processes
1. Development of Rolling Stock Market World Market for light rail and metro vehicles (2009)Installed Base: Total number of cars (50 countries)UNIFE: World Rail Market Study, 2010
1. Development of Rolling Stock Market World Market for light rail and metro vehicles (comparision 2007-09 / 2010-16)Total Market Size (annual average)UNIFE: World Rail Market Study, 2010
1. Development of Rolling Stock Market Conclusion • Increasing market segment (Light Rail, Metro, People Mover, Monorail) • Due to growing urbanization, mobility- and environmental requirements and energy constraints new technology solutions will occur especially in urban transport sector • Liberalization and Globalization will set new challenges to manufacturers, operators and authorities • Europe still remains important market and Europe sets trends towards new transport technologies Harmonization of approval process necessary to ensure competitiveness for manufacturers and operators
2. Approval of Urban Transport Vehicles in Europe Coverage of regulation analysis results in Legislation Pyramid
3. Approval of Urban Transport Vehicles in Germany Current Situation: Approval according to BOStrab- Time consuming (e.g. tendering process, approval process, commissioning)- Extensive costs (e.g. testing, approval, commercial service)- Complexity of urban rail vehicles (e.g. technical items, new requirements)- Local surveillance authorities with different approval processes (TAB1)) - Application of standards, regulations, technical rules, state-of-the-art-technology to urban rail vehiclesNational activities for Urban rail regulations (VDV1))1. Development of technical rules for vehicle approval (TR Strab) Objective: accepted, common framework (scope of action) for approval process in urban transport2. Revision of BOStrab, Draft version 5/2011 Bund-Länder-Fachausschuss BOStrab (BLFA-BOStrab) + working group Current status: approval of Ministry of Transport, Building and Urban Development • Association of German Transport Companies 1) Technische Aufsichtsbehörden

Conclusion for 2.+3. Approval of Urban Transport Vehicles • Different regulatory frameworkswithin the EU for railway equipment, vehicles and complete urban transport systems • Also national (partly) different processes on regional level • Partly no common standards in the EU • Complex requirements according to infrastructure, operation and vehicle technology Harmonization of approval necessary to reduce costs and time for manufacturers and operators
4. Standardization of Urban Rail Systems in Europe EU parliament gives mandate addressed to the European Standardization Bodies in the field of urban rail, M/486 EN, 04.02.2011Objective: technical standardization/ harmonization of urban railResponsible: CEN, CENELEC, ETSI1) Foundation: Urban Rail Survey Group (URSG) Members: National/European Standardization Bodies, UITP, UNIFE Gap analysis of railway standards Current Status: Final Report URSG, Expected: approval of national standardization committee 1) European Telecommunications Standards Institute
4. Standardization of Urban Rail Systems in Europe Results of Gap analysis • Gap analysis refers to components, subsystems and vehicles • 519 rail standards checked • Standards not relevant for Tram/Light Rail: 155 Metro: 161 • Standards directly applicable to Tram/Light Rail: 271 Metro: 277 • 54 new topics identified • Proposals for standardization currently under analysis by TC2561) / TC9X2) • Technical Committee Railroading of European Standardization Body CEN • Official Catalogue of Standards in CENELEC: Electrical and electronic applications for railways
4. Standardization of Urban Rail Systems in Europe Next steps from end of 2012 • After an assessment of the program by the Commission, CEN, CENELEC and ETSI will be asked, where appropriate, to undertake / to produce the standards identified in the first phase. • While developing standards for urban rail, where appropriate, - principles, elements, concepts and technical specifications applied for conventional rail should be taken into account. - the results of the research projects such as LibeRTiN1) (FP5), MODURBAN2) (FP6), URBAN TRACK3) (FP6) and MODSafe4) (FP7) should be taken into account. TÜV Rheinland (Leader) • LibeRTiN Light Rail Thematic Network, 2002-05 • MODURBAN Modular Urban Guided Rail Systems, 2005-09 • Urban Track, 2006-10 • MODSafe Modular Urban Transport Safety and Security Analysis, 2008-12 MODSafe results in a common safety process proposal which could be applicable to components, subsystems and vehicles in Urban Rail.
5. MODSafe Project • Modular Urban Safetyand Security Analysis • Purpose: Research ofmajorstepsoftheSafety Life Cycle of urban guided transportsystems in Europe • Project Coodinator: TÜV Rheinland • Duration: 2008 – 12 (48 months) • Scopeof Work: 10 work-packagesbased on V-model structure(EN 50126) - safetyanalysisand modal tasks - tasksrelatedtoverification, testing, validation, acceptance, certification a. State oftheartevaluation/initialmodels b. Hazardanalysis, safetyrequirements, functional/objectmodels c. Life cycleapproach, approvalapproach d. Analysis ofexistingmeansandtechnologies • Project partners (22): industryassociations, R&D organisations, consultants, operators Safety sector Process sector Security sector
5. MODSafe Project Involved Partners • Associations • Industry • R&D Organisations • Operators • Consultants • Third Party Organisation
5. MODSafe Project Key Deliverables
5. MODSafe project Basic Safety Process EN 50126
5. MODSafe project • Harmonisaton of Approval & Certification process Current different processes in European countries analysed by MODSAFE Harmonized common process based on best practice, proposed by MODSafe
5. MODSafe project Resultsanddeliverables • Model reference • Common European Strategy • Key attempt: crossacceptanceofproven/certifiedtechnologies • Create commonsafetyandsecuritymethod • Enablecommonandequalsafetystandards Harmonization, standardization, simplification for the upgrade/modernization or new construction of urban guided transport systems
6. Simplification and Acceleration of European Approval Processes Desirable/expected in the future • Suggested Items for Light Rail/Metro Segment Under negotiation/in progress (Partly) implemented/realized • Item Assessment Year • Standard approval guideline for complete EU • Continuation of the standardization and harmonization • Processes Agreement of several mandatory standards • Uniform Common Safety Measures (CSM) process and Maintenance regulations (ECM) • Uniform regulations towards People with reduced mobility (PRM)and Noise (NOI) • Standardization of components (platforms) and certification • of components (e.g. wheel sets, doors, coupler, pantograph, third rail,…) • Cross acceptance of assessments • Application of results from European Research Projects ~2017 ~2014 ~2018 ~2016 ~2015 ~2018 2010…
