EN 16186 Railway applications — Driver’s cab consists of the following parts:
— Part 1: Anthropometric data and visibility;
— Part 2: Integration of displays, controls and indicators;
— Part 3: Design of displays;
— Part 4: Layout and access;
— Part 5: External visibility for tram vehicles;
— Part 6: Integration of displays, controls and indicators for tram vehicles ;

Under development.
This document, under development.
Introduction
The requirements of this standard, which interface with vehicle functions, have been elaborated with the
commitment to respect the standards specifying these functions and in addition to respect the state of
the art of other rolling stock functions.
The reasons for defining the information are as follows:
— achieving harmonized and coherent presentation of information;
— defining Driver-Machine Interface ergonomics that is compatible with agreed interoperable
specifications;
— to reduce the risk of incorrect operation by a driver working with different tram vehicles fitted with
displays;
— facilitating tram vehicle operation with unified ergonomics, hence reducing the cost of driver training.
Information designed according to this standard is deemed to fulfil the following basic principles:
— be clear, correct and necessary;
— indicate its priority, whether by positioning, size, colour, sounds, sound levels, etc.;
— minimize confusion of the driver;
— prevent unnecessary distraction of the drivers' attention while performing their normal duties.
If a requirement contains an option, the choice of this option is purely up to the applicant.
NOTE 1 The term “option” is to be understood as a possibility that is usually expressed by the word “can”.
NOTE 2 In the context of this document, “tram vehicles” also means “tram-trains”.
