Telematic Applications for Freight and Passenger Services TSI NTSN Mirror Group
The Telematic Applications for Freight and Passenger Services TSI NTSN Mirror Group (TAF TAP TSI NTSN MG) is a subgroup of the Data, Systems and Telematics Standards Committee. It monitors the activities of European and international groups and establishes the Great British position on changes to both the TAF and TAP TSIs.
"The functional TSIs and NTSNs for TAF and TAP are newer to RSSB than other subsystems, having previously been managed by Network Rail and the Rail Delivery Group. With the transition to NTSNs after the UK’s exit from the European Union, and the creation of the Data, Systems and Telematics Standards Committee, there are opportunities for national rail industry standards and guidance to be set in this subject area. This group enables detailed discussion of European and international specifications for data, systems and telematics which support a more data driven railway in future."
Scope
The Telematic Applications for Freight (TAF) NTSN provides technical information on the telematics applications subsystem and applies to applications for freight services. This includes 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.
The Telematic Applications for Passenger Services (TAP) NTSN provides technical information on the telematics applications subsystem and applies to applications for passenger services. This includes systems providing 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.
The TAF TAP TSI NTSN MG discusses, and considers the detail of, the two TSIs and the impact on GB when either of them change.
The responsibilities of the TAF TAP TSI NTSN MG are defined in its remit, downloadable from the resources section below.
