1 Scope
This document specifies the characteristics and the performance requirements of the
Passenger Alarm System (PAS). The aim of the PAS is to:
— allow passengers, in case of emergency situations, to inform the driver;
— allow the driver to keep the train moving or to stop the train at a safe location;
— stop the train automatically:
a) at a platform,
b) if there is no acknowledgement by the driver.
This document covers the PAS fitted to passenger carrying rolling stock and specifies:
— the functional requirements for an alarm triggered in the driving cab (Clause 6);
— the communication channel between the driver and passengers or on-board staff (6.4)
— the dynamic analysis of the PAS (Clause 7);
