Railway applications - Communication, signalling and processing systems - European Rail Traffic Management System - Driver-Machine Interface - Part 1: General principles for the presentation of ERTMS/ETCS/GSM-R information

This Technical Specification describes from an ergonomic point of view how ERTMS and non-ERTMS information will be arranged and displayed. More specifically, it covers information that is out of the scope of ERA_ERTMS_015560. This Technical Specification describes more ergonomic details than currently provided by the ERTMS/GSM-R specifications. This Technical Specification defines the ergonomics for the Driver-Machine Interface (DMI) for the following applications: - stand-alone ERTMS/GSM-R Train Radio Systems; - non-ERTMS/ETCS Train Control Systems; - other technical systems currently provided on the rolling stock. The ergonomics covers - the general arrangements (dialogue structure, sequences, layout philosophy, colour philosophy), - the symbols, - the audible information, - the data entry arrangements. This Technical Specification is limited to ergonomic considerations and does not define the technology to be used for the implementation but it does give guidelines about how to implement the requirements using different technology types (soft keys, touch screen device, LCD, electromechanical instruments, indicator lamps, etc.). This Technical Specification is applicable to all trains fitted with the ERTMS/ETCS and also to trains fitted with train radio (GSM-R) DMI. The scope of Part 1 of CLC/TS 50459 is to define ergonomic principles for the interface between the driver and the above listed applications. TDD is out of scope of CLC/TS 50459 series. For human factor items, such as display of information, display location, viewing angles and organization of the screens, see EN 16186 series.

Železniške naprave - Komunikacijski, signalni in procesni sistemi - Evropski sistem za vodenje železniškega prometa - Vmesnik človek-stroj - 1. del: Splošna načela za prikaz informacij ERTMS/ETCS/GSM-R

Ta tehnična specifikacija opisuje način razporeditve in prikaza informacij sistema ERMTS in drugih informacij z ergonomskega vidika. Podrobneje opisuje informacije, ki ne spadajo na področje uporabe tega standarda ERA ERTMS 015560:2015. Ta tehnična specifikacija navaja več ergonomskih podrobnosti kot trenutne specifikacije ERTMS/GSM-R.
Ta tehnična specifikacija določa ergonomijo za vmesnik človek-stroj (DMI) za naslednje načine uporabe:
– samostojni vlakovni radijski sistemi ERTMS/GSM-R;
– vlakovni nadzorni sistemi, ki niso ERTMS/ETCS;
– drugi tehnični sistemi, ki so trenutno na voljo v tirnih vozilih.
Ergonomija vključuje:
– splošne ureditve (struktura dialoga, zaporedja, filozofija postavitve, filozofija barv);
– simboli;
– zvočne informacije;
– ureditve podatkovnih vnosov.
Ta tehnična specifikacija je omejena na ergonomske vidike in ne določa tehnologije, ki se uporablja za izvajanje, vendar podaja smernice za izvajanje zahtev na podlagi različnih vrst tehnologije (zaslonske tipke, naprave z zaslonom na dotik, LCD, elektromehanski instrumenti, indikatorske lučke itd.).
Ta tehnična specifikacija se uporablja za vse vlake, opremljene s sistemom ERTMS/ETCS, in vlake, opremljene z radijskim vmesnikom človek-stroj (GSM-R).
Področje uporabe 1. dela standarda CLC/TS 50459 je določitev ergonomskih načel za vmesnik med voznikom in zgoraj navedenimi aplikacijami.
TDD je zunaj področja uporabe skupine standardov CLC/TS 50459.
Za elemente človeških dejavnikov (npr. prikaz informacij, mesto prikaza, zorni koti in ureditev zaslonov) glej skupino prEN 16186.

— Part 3: Ergonomic arrangements of non ETCS information .

1) At final draft stage.
Introduction
CLC/TS 50459 series contains the ergonomic arrangements of information on the ERTMS/DMI
Display (CCD and TRD). Most items are illustrated with an example.
The reasons for defining the ergonomics of the DMI are as follows:
— achieving harmonized and coherent presentation for ERTMS/ETCS and NTC information. Given
the large number of NTC’s requiring the use the ERTMS/ETCS DMI, only a harmonized approach
is feasible;
— defining Driver-Machine Interface ergonomics that is compatible with agreed interoperable
ERTMS specifications;
— to reduce the risk of incorrect operation by a driver;
— facilitating train operation with a unified ergonomics, hence reducing the cost of driver training;
— better understanding of the tasks to be performed;
— increasing speed and accuracy of driver actions.
1 Scope
This Technical Specification describes from an ergonomic point of view how ERTMS and non-ERTMS
information will be arranged and displayed. More specifically, it covers information that is out of the
scope of ERA_ERTMS_015560. This Technical Specification describes more ergonomic details than
currently provided by the ERTMS/GSM-R specifications.
This Technical Specification defines the ergonomics for the Driver-Machine Interface (DMI) for the
following applications:
— stand-alone ERTMS/GSM-R Train Radio Systems;
— non-ERTMS/ETCS Train Control Systems;
— other technical systems currently provided on the rolling stock.
The ergonomics covers
— the general arrangements (dialogue structure, sequences, layout philosophy, colour philosophy),
— the symbols,
— the audible information,
— the data entry arrangements.
This Technical Specification is limited to ergonomic considerations and does not define the technology
to be used for the implementation but it does give guidelines about how to implement the requirements
using different technology types (soft keys, touch screen device, LCD, electromechanical instruments,
indicator lamps, etc.).
This Technical Specification is applicable to all trains fitted with the ERTMS/ETCS and also to trains
fitted with train radio (GSM-R) DMI.
