Abstract
" This European Standard specifies the characteristics and the performance requirements of the Passenger Alarm System (PAS). The aim of the Passenger Alarm System 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 European Standard covers the PAS fitted to the 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);
- the requirements for the degraded modes management (Clause 8);
- the safety related requirements (Clause 9);
- requirements for the Passenger Alarm Device (PAD) and PAD area (Clause 10).
This European Standard applies to mainline rolling stock, which is in the field of the EU Directive 2008/57/EC. This standard does not apply to metros, trams and light rail, as defined by the CEN/CENELEC Guide 26.
Existing Passenger Alarm Systems may require modification to work in conjunction with vehicles that comply with this standard.
NOTE 1 Most of the requirements of UIC 541-6 are compliant with this standard.
Other communications systems such as "communication device for passengers", "call for aid", "emergency call" or "call for assistance" are covered by EN 16683."
