Full Supervision (FS)

FS-[L12].1The Full Supervision (FS) mode is the mode with which a complete supervision of the train is achieved. The ETCS on-board equipment is fully responsible for the train protection in this mode.

The FS mode cannot be selected by the driver. It is entered automatically when all necessary conditions are fulfilled.

FS.RUNRunning in FS (RUN)

FS.RUN-[L12].1When the FS mode is entered, the Full Supervision symbol (MO11) is displayed:

MO11: Full Supervision

In this mode, the driver shall not exceed the permitted speed.

The driver is only responsible for:

  1. Respecting the EOA when approaching an EOA with a release speed.
  2. Respecting speed restrictions that are not covered, when message “Entering FS” is displayed.

The driver shall comply with speed restrictions lower than the permitted speed indicated on the DMI. The driver is informed by the signaller or by a dedicated document or computer about these speed limitations.

FS.RUN-[L1].1In ETCS level 1 with trackside signals, the driver is authorised to proceed without a new MA when the trackside signal shows a proceed aspect.

FS.RUN-[L1.T].1The DMI appearance when the FS mode is active is included in Figure FS.RUN-[L1.T].F1:

FS.RUN-[L12].2If in addition to the FS mode symbol (MO11) the following text message “Entering FS” is displayed. The driver shall not exceed the speed restrictions.

FS.RUN-[L12].3The driver is responsible for respecting the EOA when approaching an EOA with a release speed.

If the driver overpasses the EOA/LOA marked on the DMI screen, the train changes to Trip mode, see section TR - Trip / Post Trip (TR). The transition to Trip mode is also triggered when receiving an order from trackside.

If driver proceeds beyond the EoA indicated on the DMI, the brakes will be applied. Tripping the train would only happen when the min safe front end of the train overpasses the EoA, which can be several meters in advance of the EoA marked on the screen.

If the train apsses the "physical" EoA marked on the lineside by a Stop Marker/signal, it will be tripped

Therefore, the driver must respect the earliest between:

  1. the EoA indicated on the DMI
  2. the “physical” EOA marked by a Stop Marker/signal.

FS.RUN-[L2].1If, while being in release speed monitoring, the on-board receives a balise group whose first possible location is known by linking information to be in rear of the EOA by a distance shorter than the distance between the active Eurobalise antenna and the front end of the train, at the EOA or in advance of the EOA and ERTMS/ETCS level is 2, the train changes to Trip mode, see section TR - Trip / Post Trip (TR).

FS.RUN-[L12].4Additionally to the transition mentioned previously (i.e. FS → TR), the following mode transitions can be triggered from FS mode:

  1. NP mode. Transition triggered when the ETCS on-board is powered off, see section OFF.PWR Power off the ETCS on-board (PWR).
  2. SB mode. Transition triggered when the desk is closed, see section OFF.CLS Close the desk (CLS).
  3. SH mode. Transition initiated either manually by the Driver, see section SH.MAN Manual entry into SH (MAN), or automatically by an order from the Trackside, see section SH.AUT Automatic entry into SH (AUT).
  4. LS mode. Transition automatically initiated by an order from the Trackside, see section LS.APP Approaching an LS area (APP).
  5. SR mode. Transition manually initiated by the Driver when override, see section OVR.RUL Rules to pass an EOA (RUL).
  6. OS mode. Transition automatically initiated by an order from the Trackside, see section OS.APP Approaching an OS area (APP).
  7. NL mode. Transition manually initiated by the Driver (see section NL - Non-Leading (NL).
  8. UN mode. Transition usually initiated by an order from the Trackside, see section UN - Unfitted (UN). This transition also includes a transition to level 0 initiated either manually by the Driver, see section LTR.TRS.DRV Level transition initiated by driver (DRV)) or ordered by the Trackside, see section LTR.TRS Level transitions (TRS).
  9. SF mode. Automatic transition triggered in case of a fault, see section SF - System Failure (SF).
  10. IS mode. Transition triggered when the driver isolates the ETCS on-board equipment, see section IS.ENT Entering Isolation mode (ENT).
  11. SN mode. Transition usually initiated by an order from the Trackside, see section SN - National System (SN). This transition also includes a transition to level NTC either initiated manually by the Driver, see section LTR.TRS.DRV Level transition initiated by driver (DRV) or ordered by the Trackside, see section LTR.TRS Level transitions (TRS).
  12. RV mode. Transition initiated after the driver´s acknowledgement of the RV mode as indicated in section RV - Reversing (RV).
  13. SM mode. Transition initiated manually by the Driver, see section SM.ENT Entry into SM (ENT).
  14. AD mode. Transition initiated manually by the Driver, see section AD.ENG Engaging the Automatic Driving (ENG).

FS.RUN-[30].1If the valid Train Data is stored on-board and the safe consist length in front the engine becomes different from zero the transition to SB is triggered (see section SB - Stand-By (SB)).

FS.ATOAutomatic Train Operation in FS mode (ATO)

FS.ATO-[2230.L12].1If the ATO-OB is powered on but not yet engaged, ATO functions may be available in FS mode, i.e. during manual driving of the train. The DMI may display the "ATO selected" or "ATO Ready for engagement" indications depending on its configuration state and fulfilment of ATO Operational Conditions.

ATO01: ATO status “ATO selected”

ATO021: ATO status “ATO ready for engagement”

Depending on the conditions, the DMI may display the following information:

  1. ATO status,
  2. At stopping points:
    • Stopping accuracy,
    • Dwell time,
    • Door information,
  3. Between stopping points:
    • Next stopping point name and estimated arrival time,
    • Skip stopping point status,
  4. Upcoming stopping point in the planning area,
  5. Coasting advice OR Target speed advice,
  6. Distance to next advice change marker.

FS.ATO-[2230.L12].2Illustrations for these indications can be found in section CNT.DMI.ATO Automatic Train Operation information displayed on the DMI (ATO).

FS.ATO-[2230.L12].3In FS mode, the driver may, if DAS information is available on-board:

  1. follow the target advice speed when displayed on the DMI
  2. coast when / is displayed
  3. respect the stopping points if indicated
  4. request a stopping point to be skipped if instructed and this option is available on the DMI
  5. operate the doors when invited to do so by relevant DMI indications.

FS.ATO.DASRunning with Driving Advisory System (DAS)

FS.ATO.DAS-[2230.L12].1When the DMI is displaying the "ATO Ready for engagement" indication, the ATO-OB is ready to control train operation as all technical and operational conditions for engagement are fulfilled but the ATO-OB is waiting for driver action to start automatic driving. The driver may also choose to drive manually, using the DAS. While driving with DAS, the driver, not the ATO-OB, is responsible for train movements and the ETCS-OB remains responsible for the automatic safety protection (overspeed, EOA, etc..).

As long as the "ATO Ready for engagement" indication is displayed on the DMI, the driver may press the button to request the start of automatic driving, whether at departure of the train or by engagement on the move.

FS.ATO.DAS-[2230.L1.T].1While the ATO Operational Conditions remain fulfilled and the ETCS-OB is not in AD mode, the driver may drive with DAS. The DMI displays, as shown in Figure FS.ATO.DAS-[2230.L1.T].F1, the following DAS information:

  1. The “Target Advice Speed” (1) in the CSG as long as the “Target Advice Speed” is not zero AND,
  2. “Distance to next advice change” in the planning area (2).

Figure FS.ATO.DAS-[2230.L2.S].F3: Driving with DAS showing upcoming stopping points (soft key technology)

FS.ATO.DAS-[2230.L12].4The ATO-OB shall consider a Stopping Point as passed when the train has passed the “Stopping Point reached distance” beyond the Stopping Point or when the stopping point is considered as reached and the speed of the train is greater than 10 km/h, taking into account the Timing Point alignment required in the ATO-TS provided information.

Once a Stopping Point (including a Stopping Point to be skipped) is considered as reached or passed, the DMI no longer displays the name, estimated arrival time and distance for that Stopping Point.

FS.ATO.DAS-[2230.L12].5In case a Routing Error is detected, i.e. a discrepancy in balise linking between ATO-OB and ETCS-OB information, the ATO-OB shall lose the ATO Operational Conditions and the driver shall drive without DAS. The DMI shall then stop displaying any ATO information on the DMI except for the “ATO Selected” status indication.

FS.ATO.DAS-[2230.L12].6The ATO-OB shall terminate the communication session with a given ATO-TS when one of the following conditions is fulfilled:

  1. End of Journey is reached;
  2. ATO-TS sends a termination session request;
  3. The rear of the train has left the current ATO-TS area;
  4. Cab is closed;
  5. Train Running Number or train length are not valid;
  6. ETCS-OB is in NL Mode or in SH Mode.

In case the cabin is still open, the ATO-OB is no longer operation and the DAS is deactivated.

FS.ATO.DAS-[2230.L12].7In case of failure of the ATO-OB, the "ATO Failure" indication is displayed on the DMI. In this case, the driver shall resume manual driving without DAS and any other ATO indications (driving advice, stopping point, Train Door Operation, …) on the DMI.

FS.ATO.SKPRequesting/revoking a Stopping Point Skip (SKP)

FS.ATO.SKP-[2230.L1.T].1While the next Stopping Point is not to be skipped and the doors are closed and locked, the DMI displays the “Skip Stopping Point Inactive” () indication until the train has stopped at a Stopping Point considered as reached or the Skip Stopping Point has been requested.

FS.ATO.SKP-[2230.L12].2Once the driver has requested to skip the next Stopping Point, the ATO-OB considers that Stopping Point as a Stopping Point to be skipped until one of the following conditions is met:

  1. The concerned Stopping Point is passed;
  2. The driver revokes their own Stopping Point skip request (the indication reverts to "Skip Stopping point Inactive" (), i.e. icon is no longer filled);
  3. Further to an update from the ATO-TS, the concerned Stopping Point is no longer the next stopping point;
  4. Further to an update from the ATO-TS, the concerned Stopping Point is requested to be skipped by the ATO-TS.

FS.ATO.SKP-[2230.L12.T].1As long as the Stopping Point skip request by driver is stored, the driver may request a Stopping Point skip to be revoked after previously requesting to skip it by pressing the “Skip Stopping Point requested by the driver” () indication while it is displayed.

FS.ATO.DWL-[2230.L12].2Before a Stopping Point is considered as reached, the DMI displays a null distance in case its Stopping Point distance becomes negative (e.g. in case of overshoot). Once reached (i.e. the train stops) the DMI no longer displays the Stopping Point, distance, name and estimated arrival time for that Stopping Point.

FS.ATO.DWL-[2230.L1.T].4When a train comes to a stop at a Stopping Point within the stopping window, the DMI starts displaying the dwell time for that Stopping Point in the form of a countdown (remaining dwell time) as indicated in Figure FS.ATO.DWL-[2230.L1.T].F4.

FS.ATO.DWL-[2230.L12].4While the train is stopped at a Stopping Point within the stopping window, the ATO-TS or the Control Centre may send a Train Hold command (via Update from the ATO-TS) at a Stopping Point for operational reasons for one or several trains. When Train Hold is requested, the Train Hold icon is displayed on the DMI as indicated above.

FS.ATO.DWL-[2230.L12].5If there is any remaining dwell time or the dwell time is set to hold, the DMI stops displaying the stopping accuracy indication and the dwell time/“Train Hold” indication once the train starts moving at a speed greater than 10km/h. This is to avoid a reset of the dwell time if the driver is, e.g. jogging to adjust the stopping position of the train.

FS.ATO.TDOManual Train Door Operation (TDO)

FS.ATO.TDO-[2230.L12].1The Train Door Operation (TDO) is an ATO function that provides the opening and closing commands/information of train doors for passenger exchange.

FS.ATO.TDO-[2230.L12].2If the ATO-TS requests the ATO-OB to manage the doors opening, the doors opening process may allow the following alternatives depending on static train configuration:

  1. Manual door opening and closing commands executed by the driver following the displayed information;
  2. Automatic door opening and closing commands sent by the ATO-OB to the train in accordance with the information contained in the information sent by the ATO-TS.

The latter is only available in Automatic Driving mode.

FS.ATO.TDO-[2230.L12].3When the start condition is triggered for any door indication, the corresponding indication immediately replaces any previously displayed door indication on the DMI.

FS.ATO.TDO-[2230.L12].4The driver’s door commands shall always override the ATO door commands. A train shall always be provided with door release controls which allow the train crew, or an automatic device associated with the stop at a platform, to control the release of doors separately on each side. This allows them to be opened by passengers or, if available, by a central opening command when the train is at a standstill.

FS.ATO.TDO-[2230.L1.T].1When a train comes to a stop at Stopping Point and the train is within the stopping window, the DMI may display the “Request driver to open doors on both sides” indication and the driver shall press the corresponding button on the driver’s desk to send the command to open the passenger doors as indicated in Figure FS.ATO.TDO-[2230.L1.T].F1.
