The track, points, level crossings, engineering structures (bridges, tunnels, etc.), rail-related elements of stations (including entrances, platforms, zones of access, service venues, toilets and information systems, as well as their accessibility features for persons with disabilities and persons with reduced mobility), safety and protective equipment.

2.2. Energy The electrification system, including overhead lines and the trackside electricity consumption measuring and charging system.

2.3. Trackside control-command and signalling All the trackside equipment required to ensure safety and to command and control movements of trains authorised to travel on the network.

2.4. On-board control-command and signalling All the on-board equipment required to ensure safety and to command and control movements of trains authorised to travel on the network.

2.5. Operation and traffic management The procedures and related equipment permitting coherent operation of the various structural subsystems, during both normal and degraded operation, including in particular train composition and train driving, traffic planning and management.

The professional qualifications which may be required for carrying out any type of railway service.

2.6. Telematics applications In accordance with Annex I, this subsystem comprises two elements:

(a) applications for passenger services, including systems which provide passengers with information before and during the journey, reservation and payment systems, luggage management and management of connections between trains and with other modes of transport;

(b) applications for freight services, including information systems (real-time monitoring of freight and trains), marshalling and allocation systems, reservation, payment and invoicing systems, management of connections with other modes of transport and production of electronic accompanying documents.

2.7. Rolling stock

Structural body, command and control system for all train equipment, electric current collection devices, traction and energy conversion units, on-board equipment for electricity consumption measuring and charging, braking, coupling and running gear (bogies, axles, etc.) and suspension, doors, man/machine interfaces (driver, on-board staff and passengers, including accessibility features for persons with disabilities and persons with reduced mobility), passive or active safety devices and requisites for the health of passengers and on-board staff.

2.8. Maintenance The procedures, associated equipment, logistics centres for maintenance work and reserves providing the mandatory corrective and preventive maintenance to ensure the interoperability of the Union rail system and guarantee the performance required.

1. List of subsystems For the purposes of this Directive, the system constituting the Union rail system may be broken down into the following subsystems, either:

(a) structural areas:

— infrastructure,

— energy,

— trackside control-command and signalling,

— on-board control-command and signalling,

— rolling stock; or (b) functional areas:

— operation and traffic management,

— maintenance,

— telematics applications for passenger and freight services.

2. Description of the subsystems For each subsystem or part of a subsystem, the list of constituents and aspects relating to interoperability is proposed by the Agency at the time of drawing up the relevant draft TSI. Without prejudging the choice of aspects and constituents relating to interoperability or the order in which they will be made subject to TSIs, the subsystems include the following: 2.1.
