7.5. Aspects that have to be considered in the revision process or in other activities of the Agency
Further to the analysis performed during the drafting process of this TSI, particular aspects have been identified as of interest for the future development of the EU railway system.
These aspects are of 3 different groups:
- (1) Those already subject of a basic parameter in this TSI, with a possible evolution of the corresponding specification when the TSI will be revised.
- (2) Those not considered in the current state of the art as basic parameter, but which are subject to research projects.
- (3) Those relevant in the framework of ongoing studies related to the EU railway system, which are not in the scope of TSIs.
These aspects are identified below, classified according to the breakdown of the point 4.2 of the TSI.
7.5.1. Aspects related to a basic parameter in this TSI
7.5.1.1. Axle load parameter (point 4.2.3.2.1)
This basic parameter covers the interface between infrastructure and rolling stock regarding the vertical load.
Further development is required for route compatibility check regarding static and dynamic compatibility.
Regarding dynamic compatibility, no harmonised classification method of the Rolling Stock is yet available including requirements related to High Speed Load Model (HSLM) compatibility:
- — TSI LOC&PAS requirements should further be developed based on finding from CEN enhancing EN1991-2 Annex E with corresponding rolling stock requirements for dynamic compatibility, including compatibility with HSLM compliant structures,
- — New basic design characteristics ‘Compliance of vehicle design with the High Speed Load Model (HSLM)’ should be created,
- — A harmonised process should be referenced accordingly for route compatibility check purposes in TSI OPE Appendix D.1 based on RINF and ERATV,
- — Documents required in RINF parameter 1.1.1.1.2.4.4 should be harmonised as far as possible to facilitate automatic route compatibility check.
7.5.1.2. Not used
7.5.1.3. Aerodynamic effects on ballasted tracks (point 4.2.6.2.5)
Requirements on aerodynamic effects on ballasted tracks have been set up for units of maximum design speed higher than 250 km/h.
As the current state of the art does not allow to provide for a harmonized requirement nor assessment methodology, the TSI allows the application of national rules.
This will need to be reviewed in order to consider the following:
- — Study of ballast-pick-up occurrences, and corresponding safety impact (if any).
- — Development of a harmonized, cost-effective methodology applicable in EU.
7.5.2. Aspects not related to a basic parameter in this TSI but subject to research projects
7.5.2.1. Not used
7.5.2.2. Further activities related to the conditions for having vehicle type authorisation and/or an authorization for placing on the market not limited to a particular area of use
To facilitate free circulation of locomotives and passenger coaches, conditions for having an authorization for placing on the market not limited to a particular area of use are lay down in point 7.1.1.5.
These provisions should be complemented with harmonised limit values for interference currents and magnetic fields at unit level, either as a percentage of the value defined for an Influencing unit, or as absolute limit values. These harmonised limits will be determined based on the specific cases or technical documents referred to in Article 13 of CCS TSI and on the future standard EN 50728 expected to be published in 2024.
The specification of interfaces between coaches intended to be used in general operations should be further detailed in point 7.1.1.5.2 with the objective to facilitate the interchangeability of those coaches (new and existing coaches).
7.5.2.3. Equipment of a rolling stock with places for bicycles - Impact of the Passenger Rights Regulation
Article 6 (4) of Regulation (EU) 2021/782 of the European Parliament and of the Council ([^E0032]) specifies the requirements for equipping rolling stock with places for bicycles.
Places for bicycles need to be realised in case of:
- — a major change of the layout and furnishing of the passenger area, and
- — when the above-mentioned upgrade of existing rolling stock leads to the need for a new vehicle authorisation for placing it on the market.
According to the principle specified in point 7.1.2.2.(1), major upgrades affecting other parts and basic parameters than the layout and furnishing of the passenger area may not entail the equipment of the rolling stock with places for bicycles.

Appendix C
Special provisions for On-Track-Machines (OTMs)
C.1 Strength of vehicle structure
The requirements of the point 4.2.2.4 are complemented as follow:
The machine frame shall be able to withstand either the static loads of the specification referenced in Appendix J-1, index [1] or the static loads according to the specification referenced in Appendix J-1, index [51] without exceeding the permissible values given there in.
The corresponding structural category of the specification referenced in Appendix J-1, index [51] is as follows:
- — for machines not permitted to be loose shunted or hump shunted: F-II;
- — for all other machines: F-I.
The acceleration in x-direction according to the specification referenced in Appendix J-1, index [1], Table 13 or to the specification referenced in Appendix J-1, index [51], Table 10 shall be ± 3 g.
C.2 Lifting and jacking
The machine body shall incorporate lifting points by which the whole machine is capable of being safely lifted or jacked. The location of the lifting and jacking points shall be defined.
To facilitate the work during repair or inspection or when on-tracking the machines, the machines shall be provided on both long sides with at least two lifting points, at which the machines can be lifted in empty or loaded condition.
To allow positioning of jacking devices, clearances shall be provided under the lifting points which shall not be blocked by the presence of non-removable parts. The load cases shall be consistent with the ones chosen in Appendix C.1 and shall apply for lifting and jacking under workshop and servicing operations.
C.3 Running dynamic behaviour
The running characteristics are permitted to be determined by running tests or by reference to a similar type approved machine as detailed in point 4.2.3.4.2 of this TSI or by simulation. Running behaviour can be proven by simulation of the tests described in the specification referenced in Appendix J-1, index [9] (with the exceptions as specified below) when there is a validated model of representative track and operating conditions of the machine.
The following additional deviations apply:
- (i) The simplified method for this type of machines shall be always accepted;
- (ii) if the required test speed cannot be obtained by the machine itself, the machine shall be hauled for the tests.
A model of a machine for simulation of running characteristics shall be validated by comparing the model results against the results of running tests when the same input of track characteristic is used.
A validated model is a simulation model that has been verified by an actual running test that excites the suspension sufficiently and where there is a close correlation between the results of the running test and the predictions from the simulation model over the same test track.
C.4 Acceleration at the maximum speed
No residual acceleration, as specified in point 4.2.8.1.2 (5), is required for Special vehicles.
Appendix D

- — Flicker at the lower edge of the windscreen, which can cause fatigue, shall be reduced
- — Protection shall be provided from the sun and glare of headlights from oncoming trains, without reducing the drivers' view of external signs, signals and other visual information
- — Location of cab equipment shall not block or distort the drivers view of external information
- — The dimension, location, shape and finishes (including maintenance) of the windows shall not inhibit the drivers external view and shall support the driving task
- — The location, type and quality of windscreen cleaning and clearance devices shall ensure that the driver is able to maintain a clear external view in most weather and operating conditions, and shall not inhibit the drivers external view.
- — The driver's cab shall be designed in such a way that the driver is facing forwards when driving.
- — The driver's cab shall be designed to allow the driver at standing and/or seated driving positions a clear and unobstructed line of sight in order to distinguish fixed signals set to both the left and right of the track, as defined in the specification referenced in Appendix J-1 index [62].
The rules expressed in the Appendix above govern the conditions of visibility for each running direction along straight track and in curves with a radius of 300 m and more. They apply to the position(s) of the driver.
Notes:
in case of cab fitted with 2 driver's seats (option with 2 driving positions), they apply to the 2 seated positions.
for locomotives with central cab and for Special Vehicles, the point 4.2.9.1.3.1 of the TSI specifies particular conditions.
F.2. Reference position of vehicle in relation to track:
The specification referenced in Appendix J-1 index [62] shall apply.
The supplies and payload shall be considered as defined in the specification referenced in Appendix J-1, index [6] and point 4.2.2.10.
F.3. Reference position for the eyes of crew members
