Authorisation of service vehicles: an underestimated risk?
2025-05-28
The revision of the LOC&PAS TSI in 2023 has created a new level of complexity for many stakeholders in the rail sector, especially when it comes to the multinational authorisation of On-track machines.
In the March and April editions of the “Schweizer Eisenbahnrevue”, Stefan Bühler shed light on the resulting challenges and explains why national authorisations are currently often the only viable option, especially for Switzerland and its border routes. His article is now available as a PROSE white paper (in German only).
A key conclusion:
“On track machines must be able to be precisely adapted to tasks. This requires regulations and processes that enable innovative and adaptive solutions.”
At PROSE, we guide manufacturers, infrastructure managers, operators and authorities through these complex processes in an independent, experienced and straight forward manner.
