Abstract

The article presents relationships between railway safety directive and railway interoperability directive. The carried out analysis starts from the definition of the railway interoperability and is based on essential requirement of ‘safety’. Ten safety requirements areas were indicated, which are contained in the Technical Specifications for Interoperability TSIs. The article takes into account: degraded situations, construction safety, electrical safety, protection against unauthorised access and fire, influence of forces from rolling stock on track and wheel-rail stability requirements, control command and signalling, influence of traction power supply systems on signalling equipment, operational rules and staff qualifications, panic countervail, as well as informatics support for safety. The article complements analyses, which will be presented in the following issue of the journal.
