Division 7.2 COMPATIBILITY OF ROLLING STOCK WITH OTHER SUBSYSTEMS

The implementation of the rolling stock TSI has to comply with the requirement of full compatibility between the rolling stock and the fixed installations, including energy and control-command. This principle applies to the interoperable network covered by the TSIs, whereby it has to be taken into account that the rolling stock may have to be prepared to circulate also on existing national networks.

Following this, the implementation methods and phases concerning rolling stock depend on the following conditions:

• the progress of implementation of the infrastructure, energy and control-command TSIs,

• the rolling stock operational schemes (rosters) which may cover existing national networks.

The tools to ensure the compatibility requirement as well as to take into account the abovementioned conditions are: infrastructure register (trans-European network high-speed (TEN HS)), respectively set up for a specific line or route, represent a compilation of the following characteristics (basic parameters, interfaces, performances):

• characteristics on which TSIs allow alternative values,

• characteristics on which TSIs contain specific cases,

• characteristics on which the specifications given in the TSIs are provisionally not met, e.g. before full implementation of the TSIs, or due to temporary maintenance works,

• characteristics which are based on regional conditions.
