6.3       Operational Measures

Principles

Currently, the interoperability standard is being implemented in Romania regarding the "Operation and traffic management" subsystem of the railway system in the European Union, approved by the Commission's Implementing Regulation No. 773/2019. Until the completion of the TSI implementation process in the traffic of trains and the shunting of rolling stock on the railway infrastructure managed by CFR, the provisions of the regulations listed in paragraph 6.2, apply. The publication of the national rules is carried out by the issuer usually in the Official Gazette of Romania and in other specific publications or brochures. The publication of international rules is carried out by the issuer in specific publications.

Operation Regulation

  Currently, the management of trains traffic on the CFR network is carried out by means of 8 regional traffic
  regulators (RTR) and 10 traffic regulators (TR) coordinated at the central level by the Central Coordination
  Regulator (CCR) within the Traffic Directorate. The activity in RTRs and TRs is ensured by traffic operators
  who have assigned several traffic sections for which they direct the traffic by means of the information
  received and the dispositions transmitted to the traffic managers in the stations. Traffic data is transmitted
  by stations by telephone and through the IT applications of the IRIS system (Integrated Railway Informatics
  System) which is implemented in more than 600 stations, at all RTRs, TRs and CCR.
  The IRIS system ensures the monitoring of railway traffic, the graphic representation of train paths and their
  position. The system comprises three main components:
         Atlas – for train scheduling
         Cronos - for reporting the train traffic by the TM
         Focus – for monitoring the train traffic

IRIS is not a traffic management system and does not compete to train traffic safety, as it has the role of acquiring, processing and monitoring train traffic data. Trains can travel on the railway infrastructure in Romania only if they are provided in a traffic schedule, they have assigned a number and a pre-established schedule. Train traffic scheduling is the process of allocating traffic capacity to passenger and freight RUs. This process has two stages: − elaboration of the annual traffic program (of the traffic timetable) – allocation of long-term traffic capacity; through this process, traffic capacities are allocated to transport operators RUs (materialized by paths) and there are defined the time intervals in which maintenance work can be carried out to the railway lines and traffic safety installations. − elaboration of the daily traffic schedule - allocating short-term traffic capacity; through this process, last- minute changes (requests from RUs and estimation of the consequences of unforeseen events on the

railway infrastructure) are carried out for one day.
