# Trip / Post Trip (TR)

TR.1The Trip (TR) mode is activated when an event (dangerous situation) causes a train to trip. The transition to Trip mode can be performed from FS, LS, OS, SR, SB, SH, SN or UN modes, when one of the Trip conditions is fulfilled.

The driver is informed about the reason for the train trip.

The driver has no responsibility for the train movement in Trip mode.

## TR.MSRImmediate measures (MSR)

TR.MSR.1The Trip mode is indicated to the driver with the Trip symbol (MO04).

MO04: Trip

When the Trip symbol (MO04) is displayed, the driver shall assume that there is a dangerous situation and therefore, the driver shall perform all actions necessary to avoid or reduce the effect of this situation.

Once the train is at standstill and the Acknowledgement for Trip symbol (MO05) is displayed with a flashing frame, the driver shall acknowledge the symbol.

MO05: Acknowledgement for Trip

TR.MSR-[B3M1]Once the TR mode is acknowledged, the text message associated to the TR reason is no longer displayed.

TR.MSR-[L0N1.T].1To acknowledge the trip mode, the driver shall press the button with a flashing frame, as indicated in Figure TR.MSR-[L0N1.T].F1.

Figure TR.MSR-[L0N1.T].F1: Acknowledgement for trip button (touch screen technology)

TR.MSR-[L23.T].1To acknowledge the trip mode, the driver shall press the button with a flashing frame, as indicated in Figure TR.MSR-[L23.T].F1.

Figure TR.MSR-[L23.T].F1: Acknowledgement for trip button (touch screen technology)

TR.MSR-[L0N1.S].1To acknowledge the trip mode, the driver shall press the button associated to the symbol of Acknowledgement for trip as indicated in Figure TR.MSR-[L0N1.S].F1. Both the Acknowledgement for Trip symbol (MO05) and the Ack button displayed with a flashing frame.

TR.MSR-[L23.S].1To acknowledge the trip mode, the driver shall press the button associated to the symbol of Acknowledgement for trip as indicated in Figure TR.MSR-[L23.S].F1. Both the Acknowledgement for Trip symbol (MO05) and the Ack button displayed with a flashing frame.

Figure TR.MSR-[L23.S].F1: Acknowledgement for trip button (soft key technology)

TR.MSR-[L123].1If the ETCS level is 1, 2 or 3, the mode immediately changes to Post Trip once the driver acknowledges the Trip mode and so, the Trip symbol (MO04) is replaced by the Post trip symbol (MO06, located in area B7).

MO06: Post trip

In PT mode, the command of the emergency brake is released. The driver is responsible if moving the train backwards.

In PT mode, the driver is informed about the reason of the brake application.

TR.MSR-[L123.N].1When the Post trip symbol (MO06) is displayed, if in accordance with non-harmonised rules, the driver decides to move the train/Shunting movement backwards to minimise the effect of the train trip because it is necessary, the driver shall:

1. release the emergency brake AND,
2. move the train/Shunting movement backwards.

After moving backwards as soon as the train/Shunting movement is at a standstill, the driver shall inform the signaller about the situation.

TR.MSR-[L123.N].2The authorised distance to move backwards is given for a national value. If during the backward movement, this national distance is over-passed, the brakes are applied.

TR.MSR-[L123].2When the Post trip symbol (MO06) is displayed, in case a backward movement is not necessary, the driver shall inform the signaller about the situation.

## TR.CONContinue a mission after a Train Trip (CON)

TR.CON.1After a trip has occurred, the driver shall continue running in the same direction only if the driver has received permission by operational instruction from the signaller.

TR.CON-[N].1In the case of a train/Shunting movement not required to be moved after a trip, the driver shall apply non-harmonised rules.

TR.CON-[L0N].1Once the driver acknowledges the Trip mode, if the ETCS level is 0 or NTC and the train data stored is no valid, the mode shall directly change to Shunting mode, see section SH.RUN Running in SH (RUN).

Consequently, the Trip mode symbol (MO04) is replaced by the Shunting symbol (MO01, located in area B7).

MO01: Shunting

TR.CON-[L0].1Once the driver acknowledges the Trip mode, if the ETCS level is 0 and there is valid train data stored, the mode directly changes to the Unfitted mode, see section UN - Unfitted (UN).

As a result, the Trip mode symbol (MO04) is replaced by the Unfitted mode symbol (MO16, located in area B7).

MO16: Unfitted

TR.CON-[LN.V].1After the acknowledgement of the trip mode, if the level is NTC and there is valid train data stored, the mode directly changes to the National system mode, see SN - National System (SN) section.

Consequently, the Trip mode symbol (MO04) is replaced by the National system symbol (MO19, in level NTC, the location of the symbol is not specified).

MO19: National system

TR.CON-[L123].1To continue running in ETCS levels 1, 2 or 3, the driver shall receive the European Instruction 2 with all additional instructions given by the signaller. According to the task to be performed, the driver shall select Start or Shunting and follow the instructions given in the European Instruction 2.

TR.CON-[L123].2The Start button is enabled when the following conditions are fulfilled:

1. The train is at standstill AND,
2. The mode is Post trip AND,
3. The train data is valid AND,
4. The ERTMS/ETCS level is 1, 2 OR 3 AND,
5. The communication session exists AND,
6. No pending emergency stop is stored on-board.

TR.CON-[L123].3The Shunting button is enabled when the following conditions are fulfilled:

1. The train is at standstill AND,
2. The mode is Post trip AND,
3. The ERTMS/ETCS level is 1, 2 OR 3 AND,
4. The communication session exists AND,
5. No pending emergency stop is stored on-board.

TR.CON-[L1].1If the driver selects Start in level 1, a proposal of change to Staff Responsible mode is presented to the driver.

The driver shall follow the steps indicated in section SR.ACK Acknowledge of SR (ACK).

TR.CON-[L23].1If the driver selects Start in level is 2 or 3 the following options can be proposed by the RBC:

1. SR mode: if a proposal to change to Staff Responsible mode is presented to the driver, the driver shall follow the steps indicated in section SR.ACK Acknowledge of SR (ACK).
2. FS mode: if a MA for FS mode is received from the RBC, the transition to FS mode is automatically triggered, see FS - Full Supervision (FS) section.
3. OS/LS/SH mode: if a proposal to change to OS/LS/SH mode is presented to the driver, the driver shall follow the steps indicated in sections: OS.ACK Acknowledge of OS mode (ACK), LS.ACK Acknowledge of LS mode (ACK) and SH.AUT Automatic entry into SH (AUT), respectively.

TR.CON-[L123].4If the driver selects Shunting, the driver shall follow the steps indicated in section SH.MAN Manual entry into SH (MAN).

TR.CON-[L23].2If in ETCS level 2 or 3, at any step of the procedure, the message “Communication error” is displayed, the driver shall inform the signaller about the situation and the driver shall take measures to pass an EOA (see section OVR - Authorising the passing of an EOA (OVR)).

TR.CON.2Closing the desk while in Trip mode does not cause a mode change. No interaction with the driver is possible if the desk is closed, except the isolation of the ETCS on-board equipment.

TR.CON-[N].2When a Shunting movement is tripped when passing a defined border of a Shunting area the driver shall apply the non-harmonised rules.

TR.CON-[L23].3In ETCS level 2 or 3 when in PT mode if an already open communication session is lost, the driver can select Override if the conditions detailed in the procedure explained in section OVR.RUL Rules to pass an EOA (RUL) are fulfilled.

TR.CON.3Additionally to the transitions mentioned previously (i.e. TR → SH, UN, SN and PT→SH, FS, LS, SR, OS), the following mode transitions can be triggered from TR and PT mode:

1. NP mode. Transition triggered when the ETCS on-board is powered off as indicated in section OFF.PWR Power off the ETCS on-board (PWR)).
2. SB mode. Transition triggered when the desk is closed as indicated in section OFF.CLS Close the desk (CLS).
3. SF mode. Automatic transition triggered in case of a fault (see section SF - System Failure (SF)).
4. IS mode. Transition triggered when the driver isolates the ETCS on-board equipment (see section IS.ENT Entering Isolation mode (ENT)).
