Operation and Traffic Management TSI

This TSI applies to the operation and traffic management subsystem of infrastructure managers and railway undertakings related to the operation of trains on the rail system of the European Union. It covers those elements of the rail operation and traffic management, where principally there are operational interfaces between railway undertakings and infrastructure managers and where there is a particular benefit to interoperability. This entails traffic planning and management, train composition, train braking, train visibility, data recording, degraded operation etc.

The Commission has published the latest version of the TSI OPE under regulation 2019/773. This replaces Regulation 2015/995. However, it is important to consider the various transitional dates, which apply - see below. Therefore, Regulation 2015/995 will continue to apply in part until 16th June 2024 when it will be completely replaced.

Transitional dates:

  • New OPE TSI applies from 16 June 2021 (2 years transition);
  • Section 4.2.2.5 and appendix D1 apply from 16 June 2019 or 16 June 2020, depending on the implementation of Interoperability Directive in the single Member States; and
  • Appendices A and C apply from 16th June 2024 at the latest (5 years transition).

In accordance with Article 9 of Directive (EU) 2016/798, the RU and IM shall ensure compliance with this Regulation under their respective Safety Management System (SMS).

Furthermore, the changes of process and responsibilities brought by Article 23 of Directive (EU) 2016/797 and by Section 4.2.2.5 and Appendix D1 of the Annex to this Regulation should be managed by the railway undertakings and where appropriate the infrastructure managers, through their respective SMSs.

Moreover, railway undertakings should apply for an update of their safety certificates in accordance with Article 10(13) of Directive (EU) 2016/798 of the European Parliament and of the Council, if due to Article 23 the type or the extent of its operations are substantially altered, or a safety certification body so requires in accordance with Article 10(15) of Directive (EU) 2016/798.

RUs who need to replace their safety certificate during this time should seek, where necessary, further information from the relevant certification body (ERA or NSAs).
