TAF/TAP TSI Working Groups relevant for Operations
Agree about unique location and company reference IDs and the technical and functional process how to maintain them as
Task:
The TAF TSI regulation requires a unique identification for the locations and the companies. Therefore the data elements and attributes have to be agreed. Beside that possible technical solutions how to maintain these IDs have to be defined. The support of the Deployment Team with input about the needed functional data model is to be given. The working group should develop the implementation guidelines to describe and to use the reference files for locations and companies.
Project status:
The WG has already agreed about the technical codification for the company and location ID. In addition the technical solution for the maintenance of the location ID was drafted. To implement a process to maintain the location reference file is up to national solution. The Working group is now starting on writing the Implementation Guideline, explaining in detail all the results of the working group.

→ WG 2 - Train run information
Defines the information flow between the partners during train run including train run forecast, train location information and service disruption.
Task:
As the requirements for information exchange during the train run described within the TAF TSI regulation are offering a lot of space for different interpretations, in order to ensure the same understanding and harmonised implementation the operational experts with the support of IT experts, both from the IM and RU companies, together described the process of Train Running and Service Disruption and defined the needed messages to be exchanged during the processes.
Project status:
The process description for Train Running and for handling the Service Disruptions between neighbouring IMs and with contracted RU were made. Messages to be exchange during these processes were deeply analysed and their content and structure was agreed between the working group members. Working group is now continuing on writing the Implementation Guideline, explaining in details all the results of the working group.

→ WG 3 - Train preparation
Defines the train ready and train composition messages.
Task:
Based on the requirements stated in the TAF TSI regulation, working group developed the business process description for Train Preparation process and defined and analysed the messages to support the information exchange during the whole process.
Project Status:
The WG has created two process descriptions for Train preparation process. One process is to be used in the open access mode, so if one RU is operating the train along the several IM networks and second process is reflecting the situation when several RUs are cooperating in train operation. Also the first analyses of content and structure of the related messages were made.

The Train Transport ID is required by all functions of the TAF TSI and is to be defined together with the RUs under the umbrella of RNE and the TAF TSI.
Task:
Definition and preparation of an additional unique Identifier, which keeps the same during all single steps of the business process in a short/mid/long term approach. This “TrainTransport ID” (TT ID) will accompany the train along its whole “life circle”. The numbers currently in use, e.g. for operations, will stay in use, but there is always a strong relationship to the TT ID.
Project status:
The working group has described possible models using a TT ID, now the evaluation has started. Further a first draft of a questionnaire describing business cases has been set up and has been answered by the IM members of the Working group.
