System tasks
RailCom monitors the non-discriminatory performance of system tasks by a system manager commissioned by the Federal Office of Transport and settles disputes. There are currently seven system tasks:
- Customer information
- European Train Control System (ETCS)
- Train communication (GSM-R, FRMCS)
- Exchange for timetable notification and operational messages (TAF/TAP TSI)
- 16.7 Hz traction current
- Train control system for metre-gauge and narrow-gauge railways (ZBMS)
- Interaction vehicle/metre gauge track
ZBMS is managed by RhB, Vehicle/metre gauge track by RAILplus, the other five by SBB/CFF.
