Division 2.2.1 INTEROPERABILITY

Technical interoperability ensures that the trains are able to run safely on the interoperable lines, receiving the necessary control-command data from the trackside. Technical interoperability is obtained by providing the trains with the correct functions, interfaces and performance for the infrastructure over which the service is to pass. Technical interoperability is the prerequisite for operational interoperability, in which the driving is based on consistent information displayed in the cabs and is in accordance with signalling principles defined for the high-speed network that are independent of the technology used.
