Abstract:

Interoperability is defined as the technical and operational ability for railway vehicles to transition between networks. Operational non-interoperability is caused by different operating philosophies, missing common understanding of technical terms, and nationally-orientated rulebooks. However, because railways share fundamental operating characteristics, it should be possible to harmonize the operation processes. The goal of this research is to develop a generic methodology for comparing and harmonizing railway rulebooks and operating guidelines independent from technical infrastructure and vehicle equipment. The proposed methodology can be described in a semiformal language and can be used as basis for creating a harmonized rulebook in the future.
