CLC/TS 50459-3:2005 - 6 -
1 Scope
This Technical Specification describes from an ergonomic point of view how ERTMS information shall be
arranged and displayed. This Technical Specification describes more ergonomic details than currently
provided by the ERTMS/ETCS/GSM-R specifications.
This Technical Specification defines the ergonomics for the Driver-Machine Interface (DMI) for the
ERTMS/ETCS Train Control System, and for the integrated ERTMS/GSM-R Train Control and Train
Radio Systems, and for the stand alone ERTMS/GSM-R Train Radio Systems and for other technical
systems currently provided on the engines.
The ergonomics covers the
 general arrangements (dialogue structure, sequences, layout philosophy, colour philosophy),
 symbols,
 audible information,
 data entry arrangements.
The aims of the ERTMS/ETCS/GSM-R Train Control and Train Radio Systems are standardised systems
facilitating interoperable movement of trains and permitting economies of scale in procurement and
operations. The objective of this Technical Specification is to define the minimum requirements on the
DMI that are necessary to enable these objectives to be achieved. Hence the Technical Specification is
limited to ergonomic considerations and does not define the technology to be used for the implementation.
The reasons for defining the ergonomics of the DMI are as follows:
 achieving harmonised and coherent presentation for ERTMS/ETCS and STM information. Given the
large number of STM’s requiring the use the ERTMS/ETCS DMI, only a harmonised approach is
feasible;
 defining Driver-Machine Interface ergonomics that is compatible with agreed interoperable ERTMS
specifications;
 to reduce the risk of incorrect operation by a driver working with different trains fitted with
ERTMS/ETCS and ERTMS/GSM-R;
 facilitating train operation with a unified ergonomics, hence reducing the cost of driver training.
This Technical Specification is applicable on all trains fitted with the ERTMS/ETCS and also for trains
fitted with train radio (GSM-R) DMI.
The scope of Part 3 of the Technical Specification CLC/TS 50459 series is to define ergonomic
arrangements of ERTMS/GSM-R information only.

NOTE For practical reasons, in this document GSM-R is used instead of ERTMS/GSM-R.
4 General DMI-related principles
4.1 General ergonomic principles
The GSM-R DMI shall follow the main ergonomic principles as described in CLC/TS 50459 -1.
All ERTMS/GSM-R DMI procedures and layout principles shall be consistent with the ERTMS/ETCS DMI
and the ERTMS/ETCS DMI philosophy as far as it concerns the integrated ERTMS/ETCS/GSM-R DMI.
When there is a GSM-R call, this shall not disturb the ERTMS/ETCS information.
When there is a call to other on-train users/devices using GSM-R this, shall not disturb the ERTMS/ETCS
information. This requirement is applicable to the integrated option only.
The principle for navigation for the integrated ERTMS/ETCS/GSM-R DMI shall be consistent with the
rules defined in CLC/TS 50459-1. For the stand alone GSM-R DMI it is strongly recommended to have
the same consistency.
Any additional requirements that are specific to GSM-R are defined in this clause.

---------------------- Page: 8 ----------------------

CLC/TS 50459-3:2005 - 8 -
4.2 DMI possibilities
The GSM-R DMI may be a stand alone DMI (one device for GSM-R only) or an integrated DMI (one
screen for GSM-R and ETCS).
For the train radio DMI not integrated with ERTMS/ETCS, the following requirements apply in addition to
those given in CLC/TS 50459 -1, 4.1.1.2:
 for both national and international trains, symbols should be used for indicators and buttons, however
text is acceptable as an alternative provided that the mandatory requirements of this Technical
Specification are met;
 if symbols are to be used, then these symbols shall conform to the specifications given in
CLC/TS 50459 -5;
 if text is used for an international train, the driver shall be able to select the language appropriate to
the country in which the train is operating and appropriate to his own needs.
When using a monochrome display for a standalone GSM-R DMI a similar ergonomic approach to ETCS
shall be followed but without the use of colour.
4.3 Hardware
4.3.1 General
In the case of a radio DMI not integrated with ERTMS/ETCS, a monochrome full graphic display may be
implemented.
It should be possible to pickup and return the handset ‘blindly’ (from the driving position) and with one
hand.
GSM-R shall automatically detect that the handset is off the hook.
It should be possible for the railway to enable the drivers to change handsets between cabs.
As an alternative to a handset and loudspeaker, it should be possible for a radio to use a hands-free
microphone and loudspeaker. The hands-free microphone shall include a PTT button that is used when
the driver wants to speak during group calls.
4.3.2 Use of alternative layouts for the DMI
For all functions described above a different layout is possible if a stand alone DMI is used. Examples of
alternative graphical layouts are presented in Annex A to this document. It is also acceptable to use
textual layouts provided they meet the functional requirements.
4.4 Task structure
All GSM-R DMI’s have the same basic areas. Although position and dimensions of the GSM-R areas may
be slightly different, the areas visually should be identified as being the same.
GSM-R DMI’s shall have the following areas: input and monitoring. This is illustrated in Figure 1.
The monitoring area is covered by the same area as described in CLC/TS 50459-1 (i.e. area E). The
input area is the area F of CLC/TS 50459-1 and overlays for different menus and keyboards on areas D
and F (see CLC/TS 50459-1).

---------------------- Page: 9 ----------------------

- 9 - CLC/TS 50459-3:2005

Figure 1 — Areas of the DMI Display
For stand alone solutions other principles may be obtained.
The GSM-R DMI shall take into account that the position of the stand alone DMI can be left or right from
the driver.
Input areas (in the primary visual and reach field) should be closer to the driver than monitoring areas (in
the secondary visual and reach field). This requirement does not apply to the integrated option, because
the whole integrated DMI is in the primary field.
Unexpected information and ‘aide memoire’ should be clearly distinguished.
4.5 Flashing
Examples of GSM-R situations where flashing is appropriate are
 train number not entered and request for train number not acknowledged (yellow flashing frame),
 radio network not present. E16 Area is flashing (no acknowledgement is required).
4.6 Sounds
Sounds to be used are described in CLC/TS 50459-6. The reference to the sound numbers can also be
found in CLC/TS 50459-6.
Any sound is related to one or more status symbol as defined in CLC/TS 50459-5.

4.7 Lists
Presenting the choices in a vertical scrollable list should be used for the following GSM-R items:
 language selection;
 network selection;
 overview of recent calls;
 predefined telephone numbers;
 selection of Group numbers;
 selection of Shunting Group numbers.
5 GSM-R functions shown on the integrated DMI
5.1 Introduction
The following subclauses and figures illustrate the key functions of the proposed integrated GSM-R
Driver-Machine Interface.
Figure and text together explain how a function can be activated and how the user should perform the
navigation. For this purpose the following guidelines apply:
 areas in black show the relevant function together with all needed buttons for the navigation;
 areas in white show other possible active functions;
 areas in grey mark the rest of the interface not associated with the relevant function.
The coding in the pictures (e.g. F5, E14, G22 etc.) is used only for reference purposes. The codes G, H,
K and L are used for GSM-R functions only; the codes E and F are used in the same way as described in
CLC/TS 50459-2.
Table 1 — Description of functions used in each area
Code Description Code Description
E Monitoring H Navigation
F Input K Scroll lists
nd rd
G Menu on 2 and 3 level L Keyboard

It should be noted that for the integrated DMI used in the examples shown below, a touch screen device
for data entry is assumed.
Subclause 5.2 gives requirements of a more general nature. Starting with 5.3, a more detailed description
of functions and related requirements is given.
The descriptions below assume the use of a handset and loudspeaker. The mode of operation is
generally similar if a hands-free microphone is used in place of the handset.

5.2 General functions
5.2.1 Switch DMI on/off
The on/off status of GSM-R shall be clearly indicated and visible during the operation of GSM-R.
The off-status of GSM-R should be visible by disabled buttons for the GSM-R functions.
The on/off status of the display used by GSM-R shall be clearly indicated.
When there is a technical link between ETCS and GSM-R, the latter shall be switched on automatically
when the first is switched on.
When the start up of GSM-R is linked to another system (e.g. ETCS), it also should be possible to switch
GSM-R on and off independently.
On an integrated DMI, showing the on/off status of GSM-R shall not interfere with basic ETCS information.
5.2.2 Select mobile radio network
The mobile radio network is normally selected automatically according to preferences stored within the
radio.
The mobile radio network chosen shall be shown to the driver (E16b).
If the mobile radio network is lost, this shall be indicated to the driver (see 5.2.12).
The driver shall be informed audibly and visually when there is an automatic change of mobile radio
network.
The driver should be informed when during start-up the system is looking for a mobile radio network but
has not found one yet.
It shall be possible for the driver to select another mobile radio network (if another mobile radio network is
available) from a list of mobile radio networks stored in the radio.
The driver shall be able to select the mobile radio network by using one of the data entry windows as
specified in CLC/TS 50459-4.
5.2.3 Register and de-register running number and on train users
The driver shall be able to register and de-register a train running number.
The driver shall be able to register and de-register on-train users.
The functions register and de-register running numbers and on-train users should be accessed via the
first level of the GSM-R DMI.
Figure 2 displays an example of Register Train Running Number.

---------------------- Page: 12 ----------------------

CLC/TS 50459-3:2005 - 12 -

Figure 2 — Register Train Running Number
EXAMPLE Register Train Running Number:
1) The function can be reached via E16a on the first level GSM-R. The procedure for
entering the data is achieved via a keyboard. The train running number must be entered
and activated.
2) Via H02 a list is shown to address who is going to be registered. If no user is selected
the list is shown by default. Those who have been registered already are presented as
disabled.
De-registering follows the procedure in reverse direction via E16a and H03.
5.2.4 Invoke supplementary services
It shall be possible for the driver to place a call on hold with a maximum of two actions.
It should be possible for the driver to place a call on hold with a single action.
The Hold button shall only be visible and be possible to activate when required.
It shall be possible for the driver to retrieve a call on hold with a maximum of two actions.
It should be possible for the driver to retrieve a call on hold with a single action.
It shall be possible for the driver to toggle between a held call and active call with a maximum of two
actions.
It should be possible for the driver to toggle between a held call and active call with a single action.
5.2.5 Invoke self test
No specific DMI requirements.

5.2.6 Select language
The procedure for choosing language shall be identical to the ETCS procedure.
If GSM-R and ETCS are technically related, the language should be changed either via the ETCS
‘branch’ or via the GSM-R ‘branch’.
The choice for the language when GSM-R and ETCS are technically related should be possible via the
ETCS data input procedure and via the GSM-R procedure. When the language is changed in either one
of them the language in the other is changed as well.
When GSM-R and ETCS are technically related, both systems must have the same default language.
5.2.7 Adjust display settings
The procedure for adjusting display settings should be identical to the ERTMS/ETCS procedure as
described in CLC/TS 50459-1.
5.2.8 Adjust loudspeaker volume
The procedure for adjusting loudspeaker volume should be identical to the ERTMS/ETCS procedure as
described in CLC/TS 50459-1.
5.2.9 Status information
The status of a call shall be indicated. This indication can use text or symbols or a combination
