OTH.DAT.MAN-[B41.V].1The number of modifiable elements of train data depend on the pre-configuration of the ETCS on-board equipment and the data received from external sources.

There are three types of train data entry configurations available to be used for the driver:

Fixed train data entry: the Train data window contains only one input field allowing the driver to enter a train type amongst a number of pre-configured ones. Each train type represents a combination of all train data. Once a train type is selected, the driver cannot change any value of a specific train data composing the selected train type.
Flexible train data entry: the Train data window(s) contain one or more input fields for the specific train data that the driver has to enter/modify.
Switchable train data entry: with this configuration, the driver can switch from a Fixed train data entry layout to a Flexible train data entry layout or vice versa.

For each train data it shall be configurable if the train data shall be provided from pre-configured values or from the driver according to “type of train data entry” information or via train interface with the train data themselves or via train interface derived from the “type of train configuration” information.

OTH.BMIInhibition of balise transmission alarm (BMI)

OTH.BMI-[30].1When the balise reading antenna is over a large metallic object that exceeds the interference limits set in the Eurobalise Form Fit Functional Interface Specification (something usually called “Big Metal Mass” and in the following referred to as “BMM”) an alarm may be generated by the balise transmission system, which in turn may trigger an on-board safe reaction.

Such “integrity check alarm of balise transmission” (in the following: “BTM alarm”) that may be generated when the balise antenna is over a BMM is not distinguishable from one that may be generated when the on-board balise reader system is in failure.

Since it is not possible for the on-board to know whether the alarm was generated by a failure (and therefore the on-board may be unable to read balises) or by the presence of a BMM under the balise antenna, it is possible that a safe reaction is taken by the on-board (for example switch to SF) when it is in fact still able to read balises.

The track condition “Big Metal Mass” provides a means for trackside to mark areas where BMMs are known to exist, and so to avoid that the on-board may take a safe reaction when there is no need to (the on-board is able to detect balises but the antenna is over a BMM).

However, there may be instances where the train is over a known BMM but the related track condition is not available on-board. For example, because the train is awakening on a metal covered area or because the driver had to select override and move the train over a metal covered area. This can result in deadlocks.

To avoid that, the procedure detailed in this section provides a means for the driver to inhibit the potential safe reaction to a BTM alarm. This in turn enables a SoM or a generic movement over a BMM in an ETCS equipped area (level 1 or 2) when no BMM track condition is stored on-board.

OTH.BMI-[30].2The driver should use the “Inhibition” procedure only when authorised to do so. This authorisation should be covered by operational procedures because to inhibit a safe reaction may be detrimental to safety.

In addition, a provision is introduced to allow the procedure to be automatically triggered without driver intervention. This provision applies in case the train is in an area covered by a BMM track condition stored on board, and the track condition gets reset (for example because of a transition to SR mode caused by Override activation).

OTH.BMI-[30.L1.T].1When the train has the BTM alarm reaction inhibition activated, the driver is informed about this by the Big Metal Mass reaction inhibition symbol (ST07) as indicated in Figure OTH.BMI-[30.L1.T].F1.

OTH.BMI-[30.L12.N].2The BMM reaction inhibition button is enabled when:

The train is at standstill AND the mode is SB AND the Driver ID & train data are valid AND ETCS level is 1/2 AND “BTM alarm reaction inhibition” function is not active OR
The train is at standstill AND the mode is SR/SH AND ETCS level is 1/2 AND the “BTM alarm reaction inhibition” function is not active.

OTH.BMI-[30.L12.N].3The “Inhibition” procedure shall end when at least one of the following conditions is fulfilled:

The train has run more than the pre-defined fixed distance of 300m after the procedure was triggered, OR
The ERTMS/ETCS on-board equipment switches to a mode different than Standby, Shunting or Staff Responsible, OR
The driver ends the procedure, by revoking the inhibition.

Regarding a) above, the distance is the one travelled away from the location when the procedure was triggered and it shall be applicable in both directions.

OTH.BMI-[30.L12.N].4If a BMM track condition which announces a BMM area within the remaining distance of the manual or automatic inhibition is received, the distance for ending the procedure shall be shortened to the start of the announced BMM area.

OTH.BMI-[30.L12.N].5The driver may revoke the inhibition following an operational procedure. For example, in the case of awakening over a BMM the train has moved past the limit of the metallic covered area and so there is no longer need to have the inhibition active. Revoking the inhibition in turn increases safety, because it allows the on-board to have a safe reaction should there be a failure in the balise reader system that was until then “masked” by the inhibition set manually or automatically.

OTH.BMI-[30.L12.N].6Once the driver has elected to revoke the BTM reaction inhibition, the BMM reaction inhibition symbol ST07 is no longer displayed on the DMI and the driver is presented with the Default window.

OTH.BMI-[30.L12.N].7The Revoke BMM reaction inhibition button is enabled when:

The train is at standstill AND the mode is SB AND the Driver ID & train data are valid AND ETCS level is 1/2 AND “BTM alarm reaction inhibition” function is active OR
The train is at standstill AND the mode is SR/SH AND ETCS level is 1/2 AND the “BTM alarm reaction inhibition” function is active.

OTH.ORNChange of Train Orientation (ORN)

OTH.ORN.1The driver can control the train from the front cab with the direction controller in the forward position. However, to change the orientation of the train, the driver has to change the driving cab.

Different situations can occur under these circumstances.

OTH.ORN-[V].1The driver changes of cab but uses the same engine (a mission is ongoing).

In this situation the driver closes Desk A and leaves Cab A of the leading engine of the train, to go to Cab B and open Desk B of the same engine (both desks are connected to the same ERTMS/ETCS on-board system).

When the driver closes Desk A (see section OFF.CLS Close the desk (CLS)), the mode immediately changes to Stand-By, which is considered as an end of mission.

When the driver then opens Desk B, the SB symbol is displayed (see section SB - Stand-By (SB)).

OTH.ORN-[V].2The driver changes cab and leaves one engine to go to another engine.

In this situation the train has two engines available (Engine A and Engine B). Engine A is the leading engine and Engine B is the slave engine. Each engine has its own ETCS on-board equipment.

Case A: Engine B is in SL mode.
The driver closes Desk A of Engine A (see section OFF.CLS Close the desk (CLS)), any mission in progress is finished and the mode changes to Stand-By mode.

The ETCS on-board equipment of Engine B switches to Stand-By mode.

The driver leaves Engine A and enters Engine B. When the driver opens Desk B in Engine B a new mission is triggered (see section SB - Stand-By (SB)).
Case B: Engine B is in NL mode.
The driver selects Non-Leading on Desk A of Engine A (see section NL - Non-Leading (NL)), the ETCS on-board equipment changes to Non-Leading mode.

Once the Non-Leading signal is not received, Engine B mode changes to Stand-By mode (see section SB - Stand-By (SB)).
Case C: Engine B is in PS mode.
The driver selects Maintain Shunting on Desk A of Engine A (see section SH.PS Maintain SH when changing the cab (PS)), the mode changes to Passive Shunting mode once the driver closes Desk A of Engine A.

If the driver opens Desk B of Engine B, the ETCS on-board equipment switches Desk B to Shunting mode (see section SH - Shunting (SH)).

OTH.ORN-[V].3The driver changes cab but uses the same engine, while a Shunting movement is ongoing.

In this situation the driver closes Desk A and leaves Cab A. The driver then goes to Cab B and opens Desk B of this same engine while the ETCS on-board equipment is in Shunting mode.

Both Desk A and Desk B are connected to the same ETCS on-board system.

When the driver closes Desk A of Cab A, if the driver has previously selected the function Maintain Shunting (see section SH.PS Maintain SH when changing the cab (PS)), the mode immediately changes to Passive Shunting mode.

When the driver opens Desk B of Cab B, the ETCS on-board equipment switches back to Shunting mode (see section SH - Shunting (SH)).

OTH.JOIJoining (JOI)

OTH.JOI.1When the Joining procedure happens:

The joining train (train performing the Joining operation) approaches the train to be joined. This can be performed in SR, OS or SH mode.
The electrical and mechanical links between the two trains are closed.

OTH.JOI-[30].1The procedure can also be performed in SM mode.

OTH.JOI-[V].1Train specific clauses indicating how to close the electrical and mechanical links.

OTH.JOI.2If a mission is still in progress after the joining procedure, the driver must modify the Train Data such that it fits with the new train composition (see section OTH.DAT.MAN Manual change of train data (MAN)).

OTH.JOI.3If a former leading ETCS on-board equipment is to become slave equipment in NL mode, the driver shall select NL mode (see section NL - Non-Leading (NL)).

OTH.JOI-[V].2Information that a Joining operation has been correctly completed is not provided for the ETCS equipment. Joining operation requires the fulfilment of operating rules ensuring that a Joining operation has been correctly completed (e.g. physical connection).

OTH.JOI.4In a case when a train has to enter an occupied track section, as is the case for a joining operation, the signaller shall, before authorising the entry to the occupied track section, obtain confirmation that the occupying train or vehicles will not move towards the train entering the occupied track section.

OTH.SPLSplitting (SPL)

OTH.SPL.1When the Splitting procedure happens:

The electrical and mechanical links between the two trains are removed.
If Splitting procedure requires moving the two train parts apart from each other for a small distance, this can be done even in SB mode.

The Splitting procedure must be performed while the train is at standstill.

The Splitting procedure can only be performed if the two resulting trains both have, at least, one ETCS on-board equipment each.

OTH.SPL-[V].1Train specific clauses indicating how to remove the electrical and mechanical links between the two train.

OTH.SPL.2If the ETCS on-board equipment which was supervising the train before splitting has not performed an End of Mission for splitting. The driver must modify the Train Data such that it fits with the new train composition (see section OTH.DAT.MAN Manual change of train data (MAN)).

OTH.SPL.3The driver can then start a new mission, Shunting movements or not move the train depending on the case.

OTH.SPL-[V].2Information that a Splitting operation has been correctly completed is not provide for the ETCS on-board equipment. Splitting operation requires the fulfilment of operating rules ensuring that a Splitting operation has been correctly completed (e.g. physical disconnection).

OTH.TXTText message from trackside (TXT)

OTH.TXT.2Text messages remain displayed until they are acknowledged by the driver.

In some cases, the brake is applied if the driver does not acknowledge the text message before the end condition is reached.

OTH.TXT-[11].1If the driver acknowledges the text message before the end condition is fulfilled, the text message disappears from the DMI.

OTH.TXT-[20212230].1If the driver acknowledges the text message before the end condition is fulfilled, the text display can end or not depending on the end condition.

OTH.BRKBrake command handling (BRK)

OTH.BRK.1The driver is informed that the brake command has been triggered when the Service Brake or Emergency Brake Intervention following symbol (ST01) is displayed:

ST01: Service brake or emergency brake intervention

In addition, when the brake is not applied due to an overspeed of the permitted speed, a text message is displayed indicating the reason that caused the brake command to be triggered. Depending on the reason for the activation of the brake command, the brake release occurs under some conditions or other.

When the emergency brake command is triggered due to a trip transition, a text message with the Trip condition is displayed (see section DEG.TR Transition to Trip mode (TR)). In this case, the emergency brake command is released at standstill and after the driver acknowledgment of the trip condition.
The “Balise read error” text message is displayed when the brake command is triggered due to linking error, balise group message inconsistency or RAMS related supervision error. In this case the brake command is released at standstill (see section DEG.BLS Managing a balise read error (BLS)).
The “Communication error” text message is displayed when the brake command is triggered due to supervision of the safe radio connection. In this case the brake command is released at standstill or when a new consistent message has been received from the RBC (see section DEG.RBC Managing absence of RBC information (RBC)).
The “Runaway movement” text message is displayed when the brake command is triggered due to the detection of a train movement exceeding the allowed roll away distance, the allowed reverse distance, the standstill supervision distance or distance allowed for reverse movement in Post Trip mode, or while the driver is modifying the Train data or is entering the SR speed/ distance limits. In this case, the brake command is released at standstill and after driver acknowledgement (see section OTH.BRK.UNI Reacting to unintentional movements (UNI)).
The “Train data changed” text message is displayed when the brake command is triggered due to change of Train Data while the train is running. In this case, the brake command is released at standstill and after driver acknowledgement (see section OTH.DAT.EXT Change of train data by ETCS external sources (EXT)).
The “RV distance exceeded” text message is displayed when the brake command is triggered due to an overpassed reversing distance related to a reversing area. In this case, the brake command shall be released if the reversing distance becomes extended so that the reversing distance is no longer overpassed, or at standstill after driver acknowledgement (see section RV.RUN Running in RV (RUN)).

When the brake command is triggered due to the driver not having acknowledged a text message, the brake command is released only after the driver acknowledges the text message (see section OTH.TXT Text message from trackside (TXT)).

OTH.BRK-[B41].1The “PT distance exceeded” text message is displayed when the brake command is triggered due to the detection of a train movement exceeding the distance allowed for reverse movement in Post Trip mode. In this case, the brake command shall be released at standstill.

OTH.BRK-[30].1The “Safe consist length no longer available” text message is displayed when the brake command is triggered due the safe consist length information acquired from an external source becoming unavailable. In this case, the brake command shall be released at standstill.

OTH.BRK.2If the driver’s acknowledgement is not needed to release the brake, the driver is warned that the brake has been released with the Sinfo sound.

OTH.BRK.3Otherwise, when driver’s acknowledgement is necessary to release the brake command, the Sinfo sound is played to draw the driver’s attention to this acknowledgement.

OTH.BRK.4In case more than one reason to command the brake is applicable at the same time, the brake command shall be released only when the release conditions specified including the concerned reasons have been fulfilled. In particular, if several brake command reasons applicable at the same time are included in several clauses where a driver acknowledgement is required, there shall be as many individual driver acknowledgements required as concerned reasons.

OTH.BRK.5In case of an ETCS mode change, the ERTMS/ETCS on-board equipment shall maintain the brake command if at least one individual brake command reason remains applicable, until the corresponding release conditions have been all fulfilled.

Upon a mode change, the ERTMS/ETCS on-board equipment shall maintain the brake command if at least one individual brake command reason remains applicable, until the corresponding release conditions have been all fulfilled.

OTH.BRK.6The service brake command (SBC) is defined as a two state output with the following values:

Service brake commanded
Service brake not commanded.

The SBC output is generated by ERTMS/ETCS on-board to command the service brake and to revoke this command.

The SBC output value Service brake commanded shall result in the train applying the full service brake, meaning application of 100% of the installed braking performance of the train, and cutting off the traction.

OTH.BRK.7The SBC output value Service brake not commanded shall result in a release of the service brake, but only to the highest brake level currently commanded by other application(s) or by the driver, and shall permit the traction power to be switched on.

The traction power can be switched on again only after the driver has cancelled the traction command (i.e. after a 0-position-acknowledgement by the traction controller).

OTH.BRK.8In case of no SB manually applied by the driver and in case of no Automatic Speed Control activated, the SB released by ETCS will automatically cancel the brake application on the train. In case of a gradient, it is possible to have forward movement which must be controlled by driver with his own action on brake. This is acceptable as it is the same situation today (without ETCS).

OTH.BRK.9The full service brake may be actuated by various brake systems depending on the rolling stock brake architecture (e.g. dynamic brake by substitution, blending or superposition principle with the UIC air brake).

OTH.BRK.10A brake application command, whatever its control mode, takes control of the brake system, even in case of active brake release command; this may not to apply when intentional suppression of the brake application command is given by the driver (e.g. passenger alarm override, uncoupling).

OTH.BRK-[L0N1.T].1To acknowledge a brake intervention and to release the brake the driver shall press the button which has a flashing frame as indicated in Figure BRK-[L0N1.T].F1.

Figure BRK-[L2.S].F1: Brake intervention to be acknowledged (soft key technology)

OTH.BRK.UNIReacting to unintentional movements (UNI)

OTH.BRK.UNI-[L12.N].1If after being at a standstill, the train movement or Shunting movement has moved unintentionally and exceeded the allowed distance defined by a National Value, the ETCS on-board triggers the brake and the “Runaway movement” text message is displayed.

In this situation, the driver shall secure the train or Shunting movement according to non-harmonised rules and acknowledge the brake application.

OTH.BRK.DIRDirect brake (DIR)

OTH.BRK.DIR.1Locomotives assessed for general operation shall be fitted with a direct brake system which allows the application of a brake force on the concerned unit(s) independently of the main brake command, with other unit(s) of the train remaining without brake applied.

OTH.BRK.DYNDynamic braking (DYN)

OTH.BRK.DYN.1If a unit is equipped with a dynamic brake system, it is possible to prevent the use of regenerative braking on electric units so that there is no return of energy to the overhead contact line when driving on a line which does not allow that.

OTH.BRK.DYN.2The subsequent commands of regenerative brake inhibition by the unit can be automatic or manual through intervention of the driver.

OTH.BRK.DYN.3Dynamic brake can be used independently from other brake systems, or together with other brake systems (blending).

OTH.BRK.DYN.4Where on locomotives the dynamic brake is used independently from other brake systems, the maximum value and rate of variation of the dynamic brake effort can be limited to predefined values.

OTH.BRK.EDYEddy current track brake (EDY)

OTH.BRK.EDY.1The conditions for use of eddy current track brake for technical compatibility with the track are not harmonised. The commands of inhibition of eddy current track brake by the unit can be automatic or manual through intervention of the driver.

OTH.BRK.EMGEmergency brake (EMG)

OTH.BRK.EMG.1At least two independent emergency brake command devices are available to the driver, allowing the activation of the emergency brake by a simple and single action from the driver in his normal driving position, using one hand.

OTH.BRK.EMG.2One of these devices is a red punch button (mushroom push button).

The emergency brake position of these two devices when activated is self-locking by a mechanical device; unlocking this position is then possible only by an intentional action by the staff.

OTH.BRK.INDBrake state and fault indication (IND)

OTH.BRK.IND.1The status of the brake system must be available to the driver. The driver must be able to, at standstill and running, identify the status (applied or released or isolated) of the main (emergency and service) and parking brake systems, and the status of each part (including one or several actuators) of these systems that can be controlled and/or isolated independently.

OTH.BRK.IND.2When running, the driver shall be able to check from the driving position in the cab:

The status of the train brake control command line,
The status of the train brake energy supply,
The status of the dynamic brake and braking system linked to traction system where they are included in the performance of the emergency braking in normal mode,
The status applied or released of at least one part (actuator) of the main brake system which is controlled independently (e.g. a part which is installed on the vehicle fitted with an active cab).

OTH.BRK.MAGMagnetic track brake (MAG)

OTH.BRK.MAG.1A magnetic track brake is allowed to be used as an emergency brake.

Magnetic track brake cannot be used at speeds higher than 280 km/h.

The commands of inhibition of magnetic track brake by the unit can be automatic or manual through intervention of the driver.

OTH.BRK.PRKParking brake (PRK)

OTH.BRK.PRK.1Trains shall be equipped with a parking brake function used when the train is parked, allowing the application of a brake force without any available energy on board for an unlimited period of time.

OTH.BRK.PRK.2The main brake function of a train shall be:

continuous: the brake application signal is transmitted from a central command to the whole train by a control line.
automatic: an inadvertent disruption (loss of integrity, line de-energised, etc.) of the control line leads to brake activation on all vehicles of the train.

OTH.BRK.PRK.3The brake system shall include means for monitoring and tests available to the driver.

OTH.BRK.PRK.4The parking braking command leads to the application of a defined brake force for an unlimited period of time, during which a lack of any energy on board may occur.

OTH.BRK.PRK.5The parking brake can be released at standstill, including for rescue purposes.

OTH.BRK.PRK.6For units assessed in fixed or predefined formations, and for locomotives assessed for general operation, the parking brake command must be activated automatically when the unit is switched off. For other units, the parking brake command is either activated manually, or activated automatically when the unit is switched off.

OTH.BRK.PRK.7The application of the parking brake force may depend on the status of the main brake function; it is effective when the energy on board to apply the main brake function is lost or is going to increase or decrease (after having switched on or off the unit).

OTH.BRK.SVCService brake (SVC)

OTH.BRK.SVC.1The service brake function allows the driver to adjust (by application or release) the brake force between a minimum and a maximum value in a range of at least 7 steps (including brake release and maximum brake force), in order to control the speed of the train.

OTH.BRK.SVC.2The service braking command is active only in one location in a train. This means that it is possible to isolate the service braking function of the other service braking command(s) of the unit(s) part of a train formation, as defined for fixed and predefined formations.

OTH.BRK.SVC.3When the speed of the train is higher than 15 km/h, the service brake activation by the driver leads automatically to the cut-off of all tractive effort; this cut-off is not reset until the traction command is cancelled by the driver.

OTH.BRK.SVC.4In case of service brake and traction controlled by automatic speed regulation, the traction cut-off is not required to be cancelled by the driver.

OTH.INTDriver confirmation of train integrity (INT)

OTH.INT.1The Train integrity information is given either by an external device or by the driver.

When requested by the signaller to manually confirm train integrity on the DMI, the driver shall do so only at standstill and according to RU rules.

OTH.INT-[N].1Network specific clauses explaining the non-harmonised rules to confirm the Train integrity by the driver.
