Introduction
The requirements of this document, 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.
For the tracing of requirements, a link to CLC/TS 50459 series [2] or the ERA DMI document [3] serving
as a source for the related requirements is added.
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;
— reducing the risk of incorrect operation by a driver working with different trains fitted with displays;
— facilitating train operation with unified ergonomics, hence reducing the cost of driver training.
Information designed according to this document 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 The term “option” is to be understood as a possibility that is usually expressed by the word “can”.

European foreword
This document (prEN 16186-3:2020) has been prepared by Technical Committee CEN/TC 256 “Railway
applications”, the secretariat of which is held by DIN.
This document is currently submitted to the CEN Enquiry.
This document will supersede EN 16186-3:2016+A1:2018.
This document has been prepared under a mandate given to CEN by the European Commission and the
European Free Trade Association, and supports essential requirements of EU Directive 2016/797/EU.
For relationship with EU Directive 2016/797/EU, see informative Annex ZA which is an integral part of
this document.
EN 16186, Railway applications — Driver's cab is written as an EN series on all the aspects to be
considered when designing a driver's cab, from anthropometric data and visibility, over the integration
of displays, controls and indicators as well as the design of displays to cab layout and access facilities. The
background information on the anthropometric data used is provided in CEN/TR 16823 [2].
EN 16186, Railway applications — Driver’s cab currently 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.
prEN 16186-3:2020 includes the following significant technical changes with respect to
EN 16186-3:2016+A1:2018:
— Consistency of display application;
— Luminance;
— Appearance of a flashing yellow frame;
— Typography;
— Audible feedback;
— Characterization of the pictograms according to the reversibility of the function by the driver
(Table A1);
— Creation or Modification of pictograms 18, 19b, 29, 39b, 95, 109.

Introduction
The requirements of this document, 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.
For tracing of requirements a link to CLC/TS 50459 series [3] or the ERA DMI document [4] serving as a
source for the related requirements is added.
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;
— reducing the risk of incorrect operation by a driver working with different trains fitted with displays;
— facilitating train operation with unified ergonomics, hence reducing the cost of driver training.
Information designed according to this document 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 The term “option” is to be understood as a possibility that is usually expressed by the word “can”.

1 Scope
This document specifies all necessary design rules and associated assessment criteria as well as guidance
concerning the design of information and the corresponding user interfaces of driver’s cabs of EMU, DMU,
Railcars, Locomotives and Driving trailers.
NOTE 1 This document applies to rolling stock in the scope of the Directive 2008/57/EC.
It considers the tasks the driver has to carry out and human factors. This document specifies how
information is arranged and displayed. It is explicitly applicable to display applications like TRD, ETD,
CCD and TDD and may be completed by the CLC/TS 50459 series.
This document is not applicable to legacy ATP systems. If requirements in this document are in conflict
with the ERA DMI document (ERA_ERTMS_015560) the requirements of the ERA DMI document should
prevail for the CCD ETCS application.
NOTE 2 For resolving any discrepancies (e.g. 5.4.2.3) ERA is expected to harmonize the usage philosophy of the
ERA DMI with this document.
All assessments based on the normative requirements of this document are applicable mainly to
— symbols provided by Annex A,
— arrangement of screen areas conform with Figure 1 (generic organization of information),
— colours, fonts,
— audible information.
This document is applicable to the following aspects:
— legibility and intelligibility of displayed information: general rules concerning the layout of
information on the displays, including character size and spacing;
— definition of harmonized colours, symbols, etc.;
— definition of harmonized principles for the command interface (by physical or touchscreen buttons):
size, symbols, reaction time, way to give feedback to the driver, etc.;
— general arrangements (dialogue structures, sequences, layout philosophy, colour philosophy),
symbols, audible information, data entry arrangements.
NOTE 3 If this document deals with how information can be given for operation and in degraded situations, it
does not define operating rules and degraded situations.
This document does not request any safety requirement related with displayed information.
This document specifies minimum requirements and does not prevent more complex solutions.
Requirements describing the functions using the display are out of scope of this document.
This document is not intended to be applicable for tramway, metros and light rail vehicles.

5 Characteristics of displays and visible or audible information
5.1 General
5.1.1 General guidelines
5.1.1.1 Robustness
Any protection against mechanical damage should not adversely affect the visibility of any displayed
information.
5.1.1.2 Consistency of display application
Information that require driver's action shall be presented only once (except for speed indication).
Existing data shall be consistently available for all displays where relevant, but each piece of information
(e.g. time) should be only shown in one display. In case a piece of information is shown on more than one
display (or other devices), the delay between the visualization of the information on the displays shall
not exceed 1 s
5.1.1.3 Design principles
All displays and displayed applications should be designed according to consistent principles and
therefore have a common approach for the user interface.
The following principles should govern graphical user interface design:
12
---------------------- Page: 14 ----------------------
oSIST prEN 16186-3:2020
prEN 16186-3:2020 (E)
— symbols should be used consistently with their meaning (same information = same symbol);
— all driving related displayed information should be located in the preferred field of vision (see
EN 16186-2:2017, Figure A.2);
— high priority visual information requiring immediate action shall be more prominently displayed and
shall be accompanied by an alerting tone;
— each window should have an explicit title;
— numerical values should be displayed using standard units and SI standard prefixes (e.g.: voltage in V,
mV, kV etc.);
— when two symbols (e.g. a needle and a figure) represent the same piece of information on a screen,
the same colour shall be used for both unless they physically overlap;
NOTE The symbols in Annex A follow these general rules. Further information related with the symbols is
provided in Annex A.
5.1.1.4 Information objective
The information provided should be adapted to the phase of driving and the state of the train. The
principle of “just enough” at the right time should drive the design of the screens.
5.1.1.5 Suppression of information
Information that does not affect the driving task should be suppressed unless specifically selected.
5.1.2 Provide operation relevant information
5.1.2.1 Energy consumption information
If energy measuring function or other information on the energy consumption is available, information
may be provided e.g. on the TDD or ETD.
5.1.2.2 Driver advice
If driver advice is available, this information may be provided e.g. on the TDD, ETD, CCD or TRD.
5.1.2.3 Lubrication information
If lubrication of wheel flange is available, the related information should be provided on the TDD.
5.1.2.4 Exterior lighting diagnostic
If a system is available for monitoring continuously the head, marker and tail lights, an interface shall be
provided to indicate light failure to the driver.
5.1.3 Display performance requirements
5.1.3.1 Principle of presenting information
5.1.3.1.1 General
All information should be organized into functional groups that contain related items of information. Such
relationships should be based on logical or functional considerations:
a) Critical information
13
---------------------- Page: 15 ----------------------
oSIST prEN 16186-3:2020
prEN 16186-3:2020 (E)
Critical information, such as alarms, should be displayed in dedicated locations. In general, the character
size and colour of a particular item of information should depend on the importance of that information.
Other information should be limited in order not to overload or to distract the driver.
b) Audible information
Audible information may be used for prompting the user that input is required but, in general, audible
information should be reserved for feedback or critical information.
c) Menus
If a menu structure is provided to locate different functions, the menu should:
— facilitate a selection of quick and easy options relevant for the operational task;
— provide a selection facility which allows selecting a desired option accurately and unambiguously.
d) Feedback and response times
Visual, audio or tactile feedback should be provided at all times.
