1 Scope
This Technical Specification describes from an ergonomic point of view how ERTMS information
shall be arranged and displayed. This Technical Specification describes more ergonomic
details than currently provided by the ERTMS/ETCS/GSM-R specifications.
This Technical Specification defines the ergonomics for the Driver-Machine Interface
(DMI) for the ERTMS/ETCS Train Control System, and for the integrated ERTMS/GSM-R
Train Control and Train Radio Systems, and for the stand alone ERTMS/GSM-R Train Radio
Systems and for other technical systems currently provided on the engines.
The ergonomics covers the
— general arrangements (dialogue structure, sequences, layout philosophy, colour philosophy),
— symbols,
— audible information,
—
data entry arrangements.
The aims of the ERTMS/ETCS/GSM-R Train Control and Train Radio Systems are standardised
systems facilitating interoperable movement of trains and permitting economies of
scale in procurement and operations. The objective of this Technical Specification
is to define the minimum requirements on the DMI that are necessary to enable these
objectives to be achieved. Hence the Technical Specification is limited to ergonomic
considerations and does not...
