1. Development of Rolling Stock Market

World Market for light rail and

metro vehicles (2009)Installed Base: Total number of cars (50 countries)

1. Development of Rolling Stock Market

World Market for light rail and metro vehicles

(comparision 2007-09 / 2010-16)Total Market Size (annual average)UNIFE: World Rail Market Study, 2010

6 17/09/12

Conclusion

Increasing market segment (Light Rail, Metro, People Mover, Monorail)

Due to growing urbanization, mobility- and environmental requirements and energy constraints new technology solutions will occur especially in urban transport sector

Liberalization and Globalization will set new challenges to manufacturers, operators and authorities

Europe still remains important market and Europe sets trends towards new transport technologies

Harmonization of approval process necessary to ensure competitiveness

for manufacturers and operators

1. Development of Rolling Stock Market

2. Approval of Urban Transport Vehicles in Europe

8 17/09/12

3. Approval of Urban Transport Vehicles in Germany

Current Situation: Approval according to BOStrab- Time consuming (e.g. tendering process, approval process, commissioning)- Extensive costs (e.g. testing, approval, commercial service)- Complexity of urban rail vehicles (e.g. technical items, new requirements)- Local surveillance authorities with different approval processes (TAB1)) - Application of standards, regulations, technical rules, state-of-the-art-technology to urban rail vehicles

National activities for Urban rail regulations (VDV1))1. Development of technical rules for vehicle approval (TR Strab) Objective: accepted, common framework (scope of action) for approval process in urban transport

2. Revision of BOStrab, Draft version 5/2011 Bund-Länder-Fachausschuss BOStrab (BLFA-BOStrab) + working group Current status: approval of Ministry of Transport, Building and Urban Development

Different regulatory frameworks within the EU for railway equipment, vehicles and complete urban transport systems

Also national (partly) different processes on regional level

Partly no common standards in the EU

Complex requirements according to infrastructure, operation and vehicle technology

Conclusion for 2.+3. Approval of Urban Transport Vehicles

Harmonization of approval necessary to reduce costs and time for manufacturers

and operators

4. Standardization of Urban Rail Systems in Europe

EU parliament gives mandate addressed to the European Standardization Bodies

in the field of urban rail, M/486 EN, 04.02.2011

Objective: technical standardization/ harmonization of urban railResponsible: CEN, CENELEC, ETSI1)

Foundation: Urban Rail Survey Group (URSG)

Current Status: Final Report URSG, Expected: approval of national standardization committee

Members: National/European Standardization Bodies, UITP, UNIFE

Gap analysis of railway standards

1) European Telecommunications Standards Institute

12 17/09/12

Results of Gap analysis

Gap analysis refers to components, subsystems and vehicles

519 rail standards checked

- Standards not relevant for Tram/Light Rail: 155

Metro: 161

- Standards directly applicable to Tram/Light Rail: 271

Metro: 277 54 new topics identified

Proposals for standardization currently under analysis by TC2561) / TC9X2)

4. Standardization of Urban Rail Systems in Europe

1) Technical Committee Railroading of European Standardization Body CEN

2) Official Catalogue of Standards in CENELEC: Electrical and electronic applications for railways

13 17/09/12

Next steps from end of 2012 After an assessment of the program by the Commission, CEN, CENELEC and ETSI will be asked, where appropriate, to undertake / to produce the standards identified in the first phase.

While developing standards for urban rail, where appropriate,

- principles, elements, concepts and technical specifications applied for

conventional rail should be taken into account.

- the results of the research projects such as LibeRTiN1) (FP5),

MODURBAN2) (FP6), URBAN TRACK3) (FP6) and MODSafe4) (FP7)

should be taken into account.

4. Standardization of Urban Rail Systems in Europe

TÜV Rheinland (Leader)

MODSafe results in a common safety process proposal which could be applicable to components,

subsystems and vehicles in Urban Rail.

Modular Urban Safety and Security Analysis

Purpose: Research of major steps of the Safety Life Cycle of urban guided

transport systems in Europe

Project Coodinator: TÜV Rheinland

Duration: 2008 – 12 (48 months)

Scope of Work: 10 work-packages based on V-model structure (EN 50126)

- safety analysis and modal tasks

- tasks related to verification, testing, validation, acceptance, certification

a. State of the art evaluation/initial models

b. Hazard analysis, safety requirements, functional/object models

c. Life cycle approach, approval approach

d. Analysis of existing means and technologies
