Open PointNotes
Braking aspects

It only applies to ERTMS/ETCS Baseline 2 (see Annex A, Table A2, Index 15).

Resolved for ERTMS/ETCS Baseline 3 (see Annex A, Table A 2, Indexes 4 and 13).

Index 28 – Reliability/availability requirementsFrequent occurrences of degraded situations caused by failures of control-command and signalling equipment will decrease the system safety.
Minimum wheel diameter for speed greater than 350 km/hSee Annex A, Table A 2, Index 77
Minimum axle distance for speed greater than 350 km/hSee Annex A, Table A 2, Index 77
Metal and inductive components free space between wheels

See Annex A, Table A 2, Index 77
