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.
