This document describes a process to demonstrate compatibility between Rolling Stock (RST) and Train
Detection Systems (TDS). It describes the characterization of train detection systems, rolling stock and
traction power supply systems.
It is worth noting that the demonstration of technical compatibility between the rolling stock and
infrastructure with respect to physical dimensions is not detailed in this document.
This document is not generally applicable to those combinations of rolling stock, traction power supply
and train detection system which were accepted as compatible prior to the issue of this document.
However, as far as is reasonably practicable, this document can be applied to modifications of rolling
stock, traction power supply or train detection systems which may affect compatibility. The detailed
process can be used where no rules and processes for compatibility are established.Cross References:EN 50617-2EN 50617-1EN 50592IEC 60050EN ISO/IEC 17025CLC/TS 50238-3EN 50160EN 50388ERA/ERTMS/033281EN 50163CLC/TS 50238-2:2015All current amendments available at time of purchase are included with the purchase of this document.
