IRS 40472-1ed.

Die Annotation des Normtextes IRS 40472-1ed. :

The revised IRS 40472 remains a key part of ensuring interoperability between railway undertakings (RUs), and is thus indispensable in simplifying operating procedures at borders or handover points. Practice has showed, however, that the IRS needed to be revised and aligned with needs arising from the use of information technology (IT), and with national production requirements. In particular, the new version distinguishes between those requirements governing data transmission via IT interfaces and those governing driver information. Further, the content of this leaflet could serve as a template for a train formation standard in the shape of an appendix to the Operations TSI (under the heading "Formation of freight trains").
