3. INTRODUCTION

3.1.1 Foreword

3.1.1.1 This document explains the reasons for the changes of the ERTMS Operational Rules,

the main reasons being changes of ETCS specifications. A number of suggestions from

Operational and Technical experts have also been taking into account for both ETCS

and GSM-R rules.

3.1.2 Scope and Field of Application

3.1.2.1 The scope is to describe the changes and the reason for the changes between the

ERTMS operational rules, referring to the Annex A of the TSI Traffic Operation and

Management regarding ETCS SRS 2.2.2 in version 1 (EC Decision 2008/231/EC from

1st February 2008) and regarding ETCS SRS 2.3.0d in version 2.

3.1.2.2 The objective of this document is to give traceability between the two versions of

operational principles and rules mentioned above and not to give explanations

concerning the content of the principles and rules.

3.1.2.3 Columns 1 and 2 refer to version 1 of the document of principles and rules, columns 3

and 4 refer to the new version 2. The comparison is not always done rule by rule but

sometimes section by section or even sub-section by sub-section. Column 5 gives the

reasons of change.

3.1.3 Document Description

3.1.3.1 Section 5 contains a description of the change of structure of the operational principles

and rules and the reason for the changes.

3.1.3.2 Section 6 describes the changes of the content of the operational principles and rules.

4.1.2 Terms & abbreviations

4.1.2.1 Terms and abbreviations used in this document are the same as in the operational rules

document version 2.3.0d. For general terms, definitions and abbreviations refer to

document [2].

4.1.2.2 New terms and abbreviations used in this document are as following:

“Revised wording” describes that the wording has been changed,

“Modified structure” indicates where the structure has been changed either

from the general change of the document structure or the change of the

structure of a certain rule.



5. MODIFICATION OF THE STRUCTURE OF THE

DOCUMENT OF ERTMS PRINCIPLES AND RULES

5.1.1 Reasons for restructuring the document

5.1.1.1 The main reasons for restructuring the document of ERTMS principles and rules are

following:

complexity of the rules,

separation of normal and degraded situations,

identical structuring of the document for ETCS 2.3.0d and future baseline 3.

5.1.2 Complexity of the rules

5.1.2.1 The rules were originally based on SRS 2.2.2 and have grown over the years. As a

result, one of the rules had reached an extent of 14 pages and was not easily

comprehensible any more.

5.1.2.2 In order to reduce the complexity, the document was restructured to deal with individual

operational situations rather than extensive technical functions.

5.1.2.3 This resulted in a higher number of operational rules on one hand, but a better

readability and comprehensibility on the other hand.

5.1.2.4 In addition, the considerable extent of some of the rules lead to a large number of

subtitles up to 6 levels with additional subsections within the different subtitles. The new

structuring has reduced the level of subtitles to a maximum of 3.

5.1.3 Separation of normal and degraded situations

5.1.3.1 Due to the previous, function-based structure of the rules, both normal and degraded

situations were usually covered by the same rule. This made it difficult to quickly find the

rule for a specific situation. In order to solve this problem, the rules are now divided in

rules for normal situations in the first part of the document and rules for degraded

situations in the last part of the document.

5.1.4 Identical structure for 2.3.0d and baseline 3

5.1.4.1 As the work on the operational rules for baseline 3 took place in parallel to the work on

the 2.3.0d rules, it was decided to apply an identical structure for both documents. As

the baseline 3 specifications will contain a number of new and additional functions,

some sections in the 2.3.0d document were marked as “intentionally blank” in order to

achieve this objective.

3.1 PURPOSE OF THE DOCUMENT Modified structure.

This document contains the principles

and interoperable rules for the

operation of ETCS and GSM-R.

This document contains the principles

and harmonised rules for the operation

of ERTMS.

Revised wording.

The structure of each rule is the

following:

situation is described for some

specific sub-sections of the rules,

the rule itself.

The section “situations” of each rule is

not part of the rule itself but is

intended to give to the user some

orientation for the context of

application.

Not needed after improving the

explanation in the previous row.

All rules apply in all the ETCS levels

indicated below their title except when

specified otherwise.

All language referring to people

applies equally to male and female

persons.

Annex A contains the different written

orders.

Annex B contains the ETCS rules

which are not yet validated.

All language referring to people

applies equally to male and female

persons.

Annex A contains the different

ERTMS written orders.

Annex B contains the different ETCS

operational train categories.

All ETCS 2.3.0d rules are validated;

the old annex B has been replaced by

the operational train categories.





Annex C contains the list of linked

national rules.

Annex C contains the list of linked

non-harmonised rules. In some

situations a procedure is not related to

ERTMS and therefore depends on

non-harmonised rules.

More detailed explanation.

The description of the technical

functions for ETCS and GSM-R is

contained in the corresponding

requirements specification and

therefore out of scope for this

document.

2 SCOPE 3.2 SCOPE AND FIELD OF

APPLICATION

Modified structure.

2.1 ETCS rules

The operations rules in this document

apply to the following situations:

lines equipped with ETCS level 1

whether or not trackside signals or

infill are present,

lines equipped with ETCS level 2.

The scope is the following:

ETCS level 1 application whether

or not trackside signals or infill are

present,

ETCS level 2 application,

ETCS transitions between level 1

Revised wording for better definition of

the scope.





In both of the above situations the

rules have been developed

independently of other signalling

systems that may be present including

where lines are equipped with ETCS

level 1 and ETCS level 2.

When railways are implementing

ETCS level 1 or ETCS level 2 on lines

fitted with other signalling systems it

will be necessary for the railways to

assess the applicability of these rules

and if necessary supplement them

with national rules. This includes

those lines fitted with both ETCS level

1 and ETCS level 2.

The ETCS operational rules also

cover the transitions ordered from

trackside between the levels

mentioned above.

Some situations however require

taking into account information

displayed on the DMI referring to

and level 2 applications,

GSM-R.

The following items are out of scope:

ETCS level 0 application (and

transitions to/from another level),

ETCS level 1 or ETCS level 2 with

an underlying system,

ETCS level 3 application (and

transitions to/from another level),

ETCS level STM applications (and

transitions to/from another level).

The rules have been developed

independently of other rail traffic

management systems that may be

present including where lines are

equipped with ETCS level 1 and ETCS

level 2.

When ETCS level 1 or ETCS level 2

are implemented on lines fitted with

other rail traffic management systems

it is necessary to assess the





ETCS level 0 or ETCS level STM.

These situations are covered by the

rules:

awakening on an awakening track,

awakening outside an awakening

track,

reacting to DMI / signalling system

instructions.

applicability of these rules and if

necessary supplement them with non-

harmonised rules. This includes those

lines fitted with both ETCS level 1 and

ETCS level 2.

The ETCS operational rules also cover

the transitions ordered from trackside

between the levels mentioned above.

Some situations however require

taking into account information

displayed on the DMI referring to

ETCS level 0 or ETCS level STM.

GSM-R voice radio operational rules

are applicable on lines equipped with

GSM-R independently of the control

command system in use.

2.2 GSM-R rules Modified structure; now contained in

the previous row. GSM-R voice radio operational rules

are applicable on lines equipped with

GSM-R independently of the control

command system.

5.1 COMMON PRINCIPLES FOR ETCS

LEVELS 1 AND 2

Deleted because now there is only one

section of principles.

This section defines principles that

apply in ETCS operation.

5.1 PRINCIPLES FOR ETCS

5.1.1 CAB-SIGNALLING New section.

Cab signalling provides movement

authorities to trains; these movement

authorities are displayed on a DMI

installed in the driver’s cab. The driver





shall observe the displayed

information on the DMI and shall react

as required by the operational rules;

the operational rules (including non-

harmonised rules) could require him at

times to look outside.

5.1.1 OBSERVATION OF SIGNALLING 5.1.3 OBSERVANCE OF SIGNALLING

The driver shall obey the indications

provided on the DMI.

The driver shall obey the indications

provided on the DMI. If no action is

required from the driver the

corresponding information to be

displayed on the DMI is not contained

in the rules.

More detailed principle than before.

5.1.2 WRITTEN ORDERS 5.1.4 WRITTEN ORDERS

Written orders take precedence over

the related indications provided by the

DMI except when a lower permitted

speed or a lower release speed is

displayed.

A written order takes precedence over

the related indications provided by the

DMI except when a lower permitted

speed or a lower release speed is

displayed.

Part of the former rule transferred to

the section principles.

Taking into account the shunting

movements and the location where the

written order applies.





The issuing of a written order should

be performed as close as sensible to

the affected area.

When the driver receives a written

order he shall check that this written

order refers to his train / shunting

movement and its current location.

A written order that has been issued

can only be revoked by a new written

order explicitly referring to the

previous one.

A written order should be issued as

close as practicable to the affected

area.

A written order must only be issued

when the driver has identified the train

running number and the location of the

train.

A written order must state the following
