Safety Assessment for the Maglev Operation Control and Overall System – Experience Gained and Lessons Learned
TÜV Rheinland InterTraffic has been involved in the Safety Certification Process of the Operation Control System (OCS) implemented on the Shanghai Maglev Line and the Transrapid Test Facility Emsland (TVE). This paper describes the Assessment Approach by using applicable standards, State of the Art and contractual requirements with special emphasis to the needs and specialities of the TVE. The application and differences of available German Guidelines (e.g. so-called “Mü8004”) and European Railway Standards (EN 5012x) as well as the relationship between the OCS Assessment and the Overall System Safety Acceptance Process is presented in detail. Based on the experience gained and lessons learned in Shanghai and on the TVE, an outlook for the planned Munich Airport Link from the Safety Assessor’s view will be provided.
