4. 1. Development of Rolling Stock Market
World Market for light rail and metro vehicles (2009) Installed Base: Total number of cars (50 countries) UNIFE: World Rail Market Study, 2010

5. 1. Development of Rolling Stock Market
World Market for light rail and metro vehicles
(comparision / ) Total Market Size (annual average) UNIFE: World Rail Market Study, 2010

6. 1. Development of Rolling Stock Market
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

7. 2. Approval of Urban Transport Vehicles in Europe
Coverage of regulation analysis results in Legislation Pyramid 7

8. 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/ Bund-Länder-Fachausschuss BOStrab (BLFA-BOStrab) + working group Current status: approval of Ministry of Transport, Building and Urban

10. Conclusion for 2.+3. Approval of Urban Transport Vehicles
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
Harmonization of approval necessary to reduce costs and time for manufacturers and operators

11. 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, Objective: technical standardization/ harmonization of urban rail Responsible: CEN, CENELEC, ETSI1) Foundation: Urban Rail Survey Group (URSG)
Members: National/European Standardization Bodies, UITP, UNIFE
Gap analysis of railway standards
Current Status: Final Report URSG,
Expected: approval of national standardization committee
1) European Telecommunications Standards Institute

12. 4. Standardization of Urban Rail Systems in Europe
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)
Technical Committee Railroading of European Standardization Body CEN
Official Catalogue of Standards in CENELEC: Electrical and electronic applications for railways

13. 4. Standardization of Urban Rail Systems in Europe
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.
TÜV Rheinland (Leader)
LibeRTiN Light Rail Thematic Network,
MODURBAN Modular Urban Guided Rail Systems,
Urban Track,
MODSafe Modular Urban Transport Safety and Security Analysis,
MODSafe results in a common safety process proposal which could be applicable to components, subsystems and vehicles in Urban Rail.

14. 5. MODSafe Project 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
Project partners (22): industry associations, R&D organisations, consultants,
operators
