0, B-, B, B+); — 033 - direction of travel “forwards”; — 035 - direction of travel “reverse”; NOTE T+ means increasing traction set point; T means constant traction set point, T- means decreasing traction set point. 0 means ramp down of any set point. B - means decreasing brake set point. B means constant brake set point, B+ means increasing brake set point and SOS means emergency brake. — side microphone. The following operating elements should be provided on or close to an auxiliary desk: — 037 - direct brake; — 038 - horn; — 111 or 211 - DAC. 5.4 Warnings 5.4.1 Alarm due to a safety system It is permissible to provide an audible and/or visual alarm to prevent imminent intervention by a safety system. 5.4.2 Alarm due to emergency opening of one or more external doors This requirement only applies to EMUs, DMUs, driving coaches and locomotives that operate passenger trains. Audible and visual alarms shall indicate to the driver an emergency opening of one or more passenger doors. It should be possible to acknowledge and cancel audible signals for emergency door opening. SIST EN 16186-2:2017

A means of holding shall be provided. If these means are not provided on the desk, the distance between the mid-point of the tall driver's eyes, in seated driving position (see EN 16186-1) and the document should not be more than 900 mm. NOTE For the minimum character heights of paper documents to be read at a maximum distance of 900 mm, see EN 894–2. 6.1.3 Resistance to damage from cleaning activity Labelling of operational elements shall not be rendered illegible by cleaning agents. NOTE The list of acceptable cleaning agents is usually provided by the manufacturer. 6.1.4 Design to prevent the accumulation of dirt Engravings deeper than 0,5mm shall be protected against the accumulation of dirt, e.g. by a cover or by sealing, in order to maintain their readability. 6.1.5 Labelling Where plain-text labels are provided, the following applies: — the function “On” is represented by the Roman “I”; — the function ”Off” is represented by the Arabic zero “0”; — for plain-text markings see 9.2.1 and 9.3. SIST EN 16186-2:2017

Requirements for arrays of display If analogue or graphical displays require to be monitored on a regular basis to check whether conditions are ‘normal’, the displays should be arranged so that all the pointers are aligned alike when the instruments are indicating normal operation. NOTE See [9] and [10] for ergonomic aspects. 6.2.3 Pointer and scale requirements Generally a pointer moving against a fixed scale should be used, rather than vice versa. 6.3 Characteristics of controls 6.3.1 General Principles 6.3.1.1 Interface specific for the function Interfaces should be specific for the functions to be executed by the driver, for example by different shapes, colours or positions. Controls may combine several associated functions. The relevant driving tasks shall determine the choice to combine functions, e.g. a combined lever for traction and braking. 6.3.1.2 Control principle Position-dependent controls should be the preferred option rather than time-dependent ones. 213 - combined traction/brake controller for auxiliary desks, controls for remote control desks and 037 - direct brake should be time dependent. 6.3.1.3 Direction of actuation The direction of actuation of controls should be coherent with the behaviour of their related control systems. 6.3.1.4 Position indication of isolation devices If an isolating device shows its position, e.g. by direction of a handle or a marking, the following rules apply: a) I = On or in operation; 0 = Off or not in operation. b) If this device is a stop cock mounted in a visible pipe, then the position of the stop cock shall refer to the direction of the pipe: Open = in line with the pipe, Closed = at right angle to the pipe. c) For checking for normal operation at brake panels the position for normal operation shall be vertical. Marking according to d) is required. d) In case of design constraints, the rules b and c may be superseded by permanent labelling. SIST EN 16186-2:2017

are graduated, the graduations should be fine and precise for driving purposes. 6.3.1.6 Legibility of instruments For graduation refer to requirements for identification of visual displays according to EN 894-2. 6.3.2 Design criteria 6.3.2.1 Identification by shape The shape of controls for the following functions should be: — a mushroom for 010 - emergency brake; — a lever with a ball
for 025 - sanding; — a lever with a cylinder for 016 - pantograph; — a lever for 038 - external warning horn; — push buttons for 021, 022 and 023 - doors; — a push button for 012 - train radio emergency call. 6.3.2.2 Tactile coding of ATP controls 013, 014 and 015 - ATP controls should have a different shape in order to facilitate the tactile recognition of its function. 6.3.2.3 Colours 6.3.2.3.1 General Controls that shall be operated at the driver’s desk while driving shall have a colour differentiation relative to the desk surface. Black or grey from the range of finishes RAL 9004, 9011, 9017 or 7016, 7021, 7024 in accordance with register RAL 840-HR or equivalent may be used. Markings and symbols of the controls in the driver’s cab should be realized with a high contrast to the background e.g. RAL 9003, 9010 and 9016 may be used for the markings and symbols of the controls, RAL 9005 may be used for the base. 6.3.2.3.2 Colour red Essentially, controls that are only operated in the case of safety critical faults or emergency and associated indicators shall be finished in red (RAL 3000, 3001, 3002, 3020 or equivalent). SIST EN 16186-2:2017

each audible information should be distinguishable from all other audible information in the cab; —
be audible from all applicable driving positions inside the cab and in all driving conditions; —
the audible warning should not cause drivers audible discomfort when triggered. NOTE For audible and visual warnings, see also EN 16186–3. 6.4.2.2 Hierarchy of audible warnings At least for the warnings provided through a single channel there shall be a hierarchy of audible warnings such that the most important, when triggered and until cancelled or acknowledged, will suppress less important audible warnings. 6.4.3 Audibility of driving related acoustic signals Audible information generated by acoustic signals inside the cab shall be at least LpA = 6 dB above the interior noise at the one-third octave band corresponding to the main tonal frequency of the alarm. The interior noise used to compare the alarm in one-third octave frequency shall be the one measured at maximum operational speed of the train in accordance with EN 15892 or ISO 3381. 6.4.4 Volume of the loudspeakers The volume of the loudspeakers should be adjustable by a control in the cab. The pre-set minimum audible level is defined in 6.4.3. 7 Positioning of displays and controls 7.1 General rules for positioning 7.1.1 Driver’s desk design Driver's desk design shall permit operation by a single driver. Driver’s desks should be designed in accordance with Annex B. If auxiliary desks are required, they should be located on or close to the side wall. 7.1.2 Human factors/ergonomic aspects Human factors principles should be applied to optimize the arrangements in the driver's cab taking into account: a) the ideal positions of controls and instruments in terms of visibility, reach and force requirements; b) constraints due to requirements arising from familiarity with existing designs; c) constraints due to physical / technical requirements of the cab space. NOTE 1 The above applies for normal driving and for reasonably foreseeable demanding scenarios usually caused by train faults. The operation of controls and the viewing of instruments/displays should not be unduly fatiguing and should take into account the strength and biomechanical characteristics considering the anthropometric range of drivers described in part 1 of this standard.
