This contribution discusses the issue of approaching safety issues for newly introduced autonomous rail vehicle operation systems with the GoA3/GoA4 automation level. In particular, the paper discusses the issue of normative requirements for establishing and demonstrating safety requirements that are in place today for railway systems. The paper seeks to define the minimum criteria or processes that should be met and demonstrated in order for autonomous train operation to be accepted as sufficiently safe for commercial operation.

This paper analyses the component of the Integrated Interlocking System which forms the central logical and functional unit implementing all logical and computational functions necessary for railway traffic control in the Railway 4.0 concept. The main principle is that this approach centralizes the technology of station interlocking system, track line interlocking systems, level crossing interlocking systems and the functions of train interlocking system - the line part of ETCS L2/3 radio block control panel (RBC). The operation control is centralised to the controlling dispatcher centres. The paper discusses the concept of integrated interlocking system including safety issues addressed from the perspective of the requirements of CENELEC standards EN 50126, EN 50128 and EN 50129. These requirements are addressed from the perspective of the authors of the paper, who also work as independent assessors of the safety of railway control and command systems.

Projekt EPD2HDP je zaměřen na vývoj efektivního prodlužovače dojezdu elektrických autobusů a lehkých olejových vozidel. Je založen na použití automobilního spalovacího motoru s elektrickým generátorem. Rozborem možných paliv pro spalovací motor bylo zvoleno jako nejvýhodnější palivo CNG (zemní plyn). Tento dokument popisuje úpravy spalovacího motoru pro použití s palivem CNG.

Development of technology management and security, transmission and information systems allows the concept of process management and security of railways and organizing the operation of a new, as yet non-phase in a non-traditional way. Requirements for higher efficiency, accuracy and flexibility of the attractiveness of rail transport Connection in the integrated transport systems are a challenge for the railways. These requirements can be solved just by changing the concept and technology of the presented here as an ITS-R.

This paper shows the possibilities of development of intelligent transport systems (telematics) in railway transport. Current requirements for high production rate with respect to traffic directly linked to the economies of all countries leads to massive investment in transport systems around the world. An important factor of the expected benefits of these investments to growth of the transport, is assuring high transport efficiency (functional and economic). The current development of control and command safety technology, communications and information systems, allows draft the railway system such as Intelligent Transport System (ITS). The term ITS is implemented in the CR as a set of integrating information and telecommunications technologies, together with traffic engineering and other related fields (economics, traffic theory, system engineering etc.).
