Railway applications - Signalling and control systems for non UGTMS Urban Rail systems
This document specifies minimum functional requirements for urban rail signalling and control systems - which operate on line of sight or using automatic interlock signalling with intermittent train control, - not covered by the existing UGTMS standard EN 62290 series, - not forming a part of an urban traffic control system but possibly interfaced with such systems. The document is restricted to minimum functional requirements which allow users to define more specific requirements based on the given framework of the system requirements at top level. This document is not applicable to command and control systems for urban rail using continuous data transmission and continuous supervision of train movements by train protection profile (already covered by the EN 62290 series).

Le présent document spécifie les exigences fonctionnelles minimales pour les systèmes de signalisation et de contrôle/commande des transports guidés urbains : - qui circulent en conduite à vue ou qui utilisent des signaux de cantonnement automatiques avec supervision ponctuelle des trains ; - qui ne sont pas couverts par la série EN 62290 relative aux systèmes de contrôle/commande et de gestion des transports guidés urbains (UGTMS) ; - qui ne relèvent pas d'un contrôleur de carrefour, mais qui peuvent être interfacés avec de tels systèmes. Le présent document se limite aux exigences fonctionnelles minimales qui permettent aux utilisateurs de définir des exigences plus spécifiques en fonction de la démonstration de sécurité globale du système. Le présent document ne s'applique pas aux systèmes de contrôle/commande des transports guidés urbains qui assurent en continu la transmission des données et le contrôle des mouvements des trains par courbe de contrôle de vitesse (ces systèmes étant déjà couverts par la série EN 62290).

This document has been prepared under a mandate (M/486) given to CENELEC by the European Commission
and the European Free Trade Association.
The 2013 CEN/CLC Guide 26, Railway applications – Preparation of standards for urban rail systems design,
construction, manufacture, operations and maintenance, has been used as guidance for the preparation of this
document.
Introduction
This document covers systems restricted to on-sight train operation (TOS/GOA0) and non-automated train
operations (NTO/GOA1 with intermittent supervision), and covers signalling on tramways and other urban rail
systems which do not fall directly within either existing railway or highway standards. This would typically be for
parts of systems which are along off-street alignment, and which operate to line of sight, or automatic interlock
signalling with intermittent train control (i.e. as defined in the EN 62290 series, GOA0 and GOA1 with
intermittent supervision systems). This document does not conflict with the scope and requirements of the
EN 62290 series.
This document proposes the minimum required functions of signalling systems for guided urban system
operating line of sight and non-automated operations.
This document does not set any operational rules, any system architecture or any rules for application conditions
of technical systems for the different categories of urban rail systems.
In this document GOA1a describes a GOA1 with intermittent supervision systems.
This document covers all GOA0 and GOA1a urban guided transport systems.
Such systems require more functionality and a better safety level than that provided by traffic signal controllers
(as set out in EN 12675) but avoid the requirements inherent in railway signalling systems which from a tramway
perspective may be restrictive operationally and financially.
Numerous states in Europe use these systems to control points, manage train movements along single lines
and prevent conflicts at junctions as well as on at grade crossings with road and pedestrian traffic. Whilst
adopting much of the functional requirements and safeguards used in standard traffic signal controllers, there
is additional functionality required and currently in use to fulfil the needs of urban rail.
Mainline railway signalling systems include a lot of such additional functionality, but in terms of this and the
required safety integrity, they are not ideally suited to the needs of urban rail.
The two fundamentally different approaches for the design of signalling systems are:
• technology as used for traffic signal controllers, or
• technology as used for signalling systems to be developed in accordance with Safety Integrity Levels
sufficient for tramways and urban rail,
both of which are currently in use to some extent on most systems. This may leave system owners and operators
vulnerable to challenge, particularly after an incident, because there is no relevant accepted standard to justify
appropriate use of such equipment.
1 Scope
This document specifies minimum functional requirements for urban rail signalling and control systems:
• which operate on line of sight or using automatic interlock signalling with intermittent train control,
• not covered by the existing UGTMS standard EN 62290 series,
• not forming a part of an urban traffic control system but possibly interfaced with such systems.
The document is restricted to minimum functional requirements which allow users to define more specific
requirements based on the given framework of the system requirements at top level. This document is not
applicable to command and control systems for urban rail using continuous data transmission and continuous
supervision of train movements by train protection profile (already covered by the EN 62290 series).
