OPENING THE LINE
Verify that line can be operated:- No work or maintenance trains,
- Acceptable conditions to operate the line,
- Check alarms/events/availability of CBTC systems
- Check/set again the TSR settings on the line
- Check track blocking according to maintenance
schedule
Send opening train in ATO mode to explore
relevant part of network at limited speed

POWER ON A TRAIN IN NON-DMF MODE
• If train not powered on:
• Power on each cabin of the train unit by
driver, which implies:
• Power-on of 2 CCs for M5 and S3/M4
trains units (within 10 minutes)
• Power on of one CC for S1/S2 trains
• If the train is a S3/M4 or S1/S2 consist all
cabins of the consist must be powered on
• Tests are performed by CCs:
• Auto tests (SW and HW built in tests)
• If train powered on : availability of the system
displayed on DMI
Power on the entire train formation
40 of 66
WAKING UP A TRAIN IN NON-DMF MODE
HMI show driver interface
• In non DMF mode, the driver:
• Activates the cabin
• Selects an available driving mode (RMF,
PMF or AMF)
• Tests are performed by CC:
• Hw interface tests (HMI, EB)
• If localisation is memorised (PMF and AMF are
available), the driver:
• Waits for departure order from ATS
(displayed on HMI) based on regulation
• Runs the train in PMF or AMF driving
mode a few meters to confirm localisation
• Can proceed normally at first station after
the yard
Localisation confirmation beacons
41 of 66
OBTAIN CBTC PMF OR AMF DRIVING MODE (DEGRADED MODE)
The procedure is the following:• Verify with TCC that route is set (no signals) and
check time for departure
• Mode selector on RMF
• Drive train in RMF (25 kph max)
• Train localizes. Communication with ZC starts
• As soon as the train approaches the end of an
SDD
• Discrimination process is performed
• PMF and AMF become available
• Available CBTC modes are presented on driver
HMI
• Driver can switch to PMF or AMF while running
Localisation after reading 2 beacons

zero, the countdown continues with yellow
border
Platform SSP
47 of 66
TRAIN ARRIVAL IN STATION (AMF)

• As soon as the driver needs to start braking a
braking curve indication is displayed in yellow,
along with a target distance
• The yellow ark is reduced according to the
braking curve profile until it disappears when
the area with new speed restriction is reached
• Driver needs to brake in order to maintain
train speed within yellow ark permanently
• If not : warning is displayed and FSB triggered
until train speed is within safe boundaries

• The maximum speed display changes as
soon as the train reaches the area with the
new speed limit

• Orange warning displayed + sound
• If no driver reaction : FSB is triggered until
train reaches speed within safe boundaries
45 kph
