TSIs in force • TSIs in drafting • Revision of TSIs • Extension of Scope of TSIs Interoperability of railway infrastructure 2

Placing in service EC DIR 2008/57 Art. 15 Member State shall authorize the placing in service of those structural subsystems constituting the rail system which are located or operated in its territory. ……….. In particular, they shall check: — the technical compatibility of these subsystems with the system into which they are being integrated, — the safe integration of these subsystems in accordance with Articles 4(3) and 6(3) of Directive 2004/49/EC.  TSI conform vehicles : Art 22 or 23  TSI conform vehicles : Art 24 or 25 Interoperability of railway infrastructure

TSIs applicable for High speed systems Interoperability of railway infrastructure

TSIs applicable for Conventional Rail systems Interoperability of railway infrastructure

TSIs applicable for both conventional and high speed rail systems Interoperability of railway infrastructure

Where to find already published TSIshttp://www.era.europa.eu/core/interoperability/Pages/Documents.aspx Impementation of Directive 2008/57 N° 7 Interoperability of railway infrastructure

TSIs in drafting ERA received a mandate on February 2006for drafting new TSIs related to Infrastructure, Passenger Carriages, Locomotives and traction units, Energy, Telematic Applications for Passengers on the Interoperability of Conventional rail: • TSI Infrastructure and TSI Energy • TSI Locomotives & traction units • TSI Passenger carriages • TSI Telematic applications for passengers • Geographical scope • trans-European conventional rail network as provided for by Decision 1692/96/EC, as amended • not yet extended to the whole conventional rail network Interoperability of railway infrastructure

TSI Infrastructure • Member States have to classify their HS and CR TEN according to Categories of Line: • High-speed lines only for passenger traffic • Category of Line I – New lines for speeds of at least 250 km/h • Category of Line II – Upgraded lines for speeds of the order of 200 km/h • Category of Line III – New or upgraded lines with special features and adapted speed • Conventional rail lines for different types of traffic (4*3 Categories of Line) • Type of Line IV – New core TEN line • Type of Line V – Upgraded core TEN line • Type of Line VI – New other TEN line • Type of Line VII – Upgraded other TEN line Interoperability of railway infrastructure

TSI Infrastructure Performance parameters for Categories of Line for the design • Type of Line • (IV) New Core TEN Line • Upgraded Core TEN Line • New Other TEN Line • Upgraded Other TEN Line Categories of Line • Type of Traffic • (P) Passenger Traffic • Freight Traffic • (M) Mixed Traffic Interoperability of railway infrastructure

TSI Energy The main aspects of the ENE subsystem related to interoperability are: • Power supply systems • Geometry of the Overhead Contact Line (OCL) and quality of current collection • Electric consumption measuring equipment Interoperability of railway infrastructure

TSI Energy Power supply systems: The choice of power supply systems belongs to MSs,taking into consideration the existing systems and connections to other railway lines: • As a target system, the AC 25kV 50Hz – as in HS TSI – is recommended for new electrifications if there are no connected, pre-existing systems • Other systems: AC 15kV 16.7Hz, DC 3kV and also DC 1.5kV, are permitted for new, upgraded and renewed lines if they are in use in the MS or neighbouring countries. Interoperability of railway infrastructure

TSI Energy Electric consumption measuring equipment • Use: not mandatory • Requirements (for on-board part): draft by energy experts but set out in Rolling Stock TSI Interoperability of railway infrastructure

TSI Infrastructure & TSI Energy TSI Infrastructure and TSI Energy: • Draft V3.0 by Nov 2008, • Questions to be solved regarding definition of ICs & modules • Workshop in June 2009 • Vote in October 2009 Interoperability of railway infrastructure

TSI Locomotive & Passenger carriages TSI Locomotives & traction units and TSI Passenger carriages: • One TSI for covering both sub-systems • Consultation of SDC • Draft by June 2009 • Workshop in October • Vote in December 2009 Interoperability of railway infrastructure

TSI Telematic Applications for Passengers TSI Telematic Applications for Passengers TAP TSI: • Draft by Nov 2009, major part of the TSIs is prepared except technical annexes • Question to be solved: drafting technical annexes and referencing some part of technical annexes of TAF • Vote in 2010 Interoperability of railway infrastructure

Revision of TSIs ERA received a framework mandate on July 2007for revising all TSIs: TSI Rolling stock – freight wagons: • Work started in 2007 • First update voted by end of 2008, Decision C(2009)38 of 23rd January 2009 in force by 1st July 2009 TSI Traffic operation and management OPE TSI: • Work started in 2007, preliminary draft by mid 2009 • Recommendation on update: Annex A, Annex P, Annex T, consistency with Train Driver Directive • Consultation of SDC • Opinion of RISC in October TSI Control Command & Signalling CCS TSI: • Closing open questions, draft by mid 2010 Interoperability of railway infrastructure

Scope of the Directive EC DIR 2008/57 Art. 1.1 Art. 1.3 This Directive sets out to establish the conditions to be met to achieve interoperability within the Community rail system in a manner compatible with the provisions of Directive 2004/49/EC…… Member States may exclude from the measures they adopt in implementation of this Directive: (a) metros, trams and other light rail systems; (b) networks that are functionally separate from the rest of the railway system and intended only for the operation of local, urban or suburban passenger services, as well as railway undertakings operating solely on these networks; (c) privately owned railway infrastructure and vehicles exclusively used on such infrastructure that exist solely for use by the owner for its own freight operations; (d) infrastructure and vehicles reserved for a strictly local, historical or touristic use. Interoperability of railway infrastructure

Scope of the TSIs EC DIR 2008/57 Art. 1.4 The scope of the TSIs shall be progressively extended in accordance with Article 8 to the whole rail system, including track access to terminals and main port facilities serving or potentially serving more than one user, without prejudice to the derogations to the application of TSIs as listed in Article 9. Interoperability of railway infrastructure

Extension of Scope of TSIs ERA received a framework mandate on July 2007for studying the extension of scope of TSIs: The Agency shall analyze the feasibility of extending the geographical scope of the TSIs and provide a work programme aiming at the development of new and/or review of existing TSIs • Work started in 2008 • Intermediate report • Workshop with MS and stakeholders by end of April 2009 • Recommendation by June 2009 Prague, March 12th 2009 Interoperability of railway infrastructure 23
