EN 16334:2014

• Abstract:

  This European Standard specifies the characteristics of the Passenger Alarm System. The aim of the Passenger Alarm System is to:; a) permit passengers in case of emergency situations to inform the driver;; b) permit the driver to keep the train moving or to stop the train at a safe location;; c) stop the train automatically:; 1) at a platform,; 2) if there is no acknowledgement by the driver.; This European Standard covers the Passenger Alarm System (PAS) fitted to the passenger carrying rolling stock and specifies:; - the functional requirements for an alarm triggered in the driving cab (Clause 6);; - the communication channel between the driver and passengers or on-board staff (6.4);; - the dynamic analysis of the Passenger Alarm System (Clause 7);; - the requirements for the degraded modes management (Clause 8);; - the safety related requirements (Clause 9);; - requirements for the Passenger Alarm Device and Passenger Alarm Device area (Clause 10).; This European Standard is applicable to rolling stock which are in the field of the Directive 2008/57/EC.; NOTE 1 Existing Passenger Alarm Systems may require modification to work in conjunction with vehicles that comply with this standard.; NOTE 2 Most of the requirements of UIC 541–6 are compliant with this standard.; Other communications systems named 'communication device for passengers' or 'call for aid' in the CR LOC and PAS TSI [1] are not covered by this standard.; NOTE 3 prEN 16683, Railway applications Call for aid and communication device Requirements covers these aspects.

The definition for 'passenger alarm' given in EN 14478:2005, 4.9.2.2, is superseded by this document. 3.1 Closed Circuit Television CCTV on board video recording system 3.2 PAD operated handle that is operated when it is manipulated in order to change its mechanical status and therefore to send an information to the PAS 3.3 Passenger Alarm Interface PAI arrangement of equipment close to each other or one single equipment, which includes: — passenger alarm device (see Clause 9); — microphone; — loudspeaker; — visual indicators: lights; — resetting device(s); — information labels; — a seal (optional) 3.4 Passenger Alarm Device PAD interface to the PAS through which the requirement for a defined Passenger Alarm System demand is indicated or initiated by passengers or operating staff Note 1 to entry: The PAD is sometimes called emergency handle or alarm handle. These short-terms should only be used where misunderstanding is not possible or in descriptions prepared for passengers. In this document, 'handle' is used as a generic term and its design is defined in 10.2. 3.5 standstill when the speed of the train has decreased to 3 km/h or less SIST EN 16334:2014

A train is considered as stopped at a platform if a door 'release' command has been activated and the train is at standstill. A train at a platform where there has not been any door 'release' command is considered as outside a platform area. 6.5.2
PAS shall consider that the train is still at a platform when there has been a change of door status from 'released' to 'closed and locked' and the end of platform has not been passed by the last vehicle. 6.5.3 PAS should have input from an on-board platform detection system. 6.5.4 If the platform is not physically detected, the train shall be considered to have left the platform when either one of the two following requirements is fulfilled: — the distance covered is (100 ± 30) m; or — the train travels for a duration of (16 ± 2) s. 6.6 Recognize the action of the driver 6.6.1 The PAS shall recognize if the driver has acknowledged the information that a PAD has been operated. 6.6.2 The PAS shall recognize if the driver has initiated the override of PAS brake request. 6.6.3 The PAS shall recognize if the driver has initiated or closed a communication link with a location where a PAD has been operated. 6.7 Request brake action The activation of the PAD shall initiate the PAS to automatically request a brake application in the following situations: a) If the train is at a platform or is leaving a platform (as defined in 6.5), the PAS shall request an emergency brake or full service brake. b) If a train is outside the platform area described in 6.5, (10 ± 1) s after activation of the (first) passenger alarm, an automatic service brake application shall be requested by the PAS with at least 2/3 of the full service brake effort unless the passenger alarm is acknowledged by the driver within this time. It is permitted to request a full service or an emergency brake application. The PAS shall allow the driver to override at any time a PAS automatic brake request. In that case, the driver is permitted to acknowledge after the PAS has requested a brake application. This should cancel the brake request. If the PAS alarm is acknowledged by an emergency brake application by the driver, using the emergency brake position of the automatic brake controller, it is permitted that the PAS additionally requests an automatic brake application. c) If a train, with a PAD operated AND acknowledged by the driver, stops at a platform (6.5) when the doors are released, the PAS shall request an emergency brake application or a full service brake application. As an option the PAS can provide a reminder that the PAD is activated. d) As an option, for the trains running at high speed, activation of a PAD at a speed greater than a threshold speed of 200 km/h may initiate a controlled reduction in the speed, not less than 160 km/h After acknowledgement by the driver, the response of the PAS is the same as for lower speed.
