System Solutions Expert Group continues its activities to the activities of other working groups. The purpose is to coordinate and transfer outputs of other groups into activities of top bodies SERAC (Single European Railway Committee), RISC (Rail Interoperability and Safety Committee), Working Group CER ((The Community of European Railway and Infrastructure Companies) and CER ERA (European Railway Agency) Steering Unit. The Expert Group creates an environment for discussion about currently solved problems associated with the whole standardization process, aiming to create the conditions for interoperability and is an important support for an entire group of experts, involved in this process at various levels, from the preparation of directives and their application documents and manuals up to the preparation of European standards. Within the Expert Group are discussed current issues presented in RISC, SERAC for RFC, CER Working Group and CER ERA Steering Unit. Members of the Expert Group, also in the framework of its activities, discuss issues with the presentation of various interested experts from groups. They are looking for applications of the results obtained in the scientific and research activities and their impact on the discussion of the relevant topics. Obtained results and suggestions are passed on through representatives who interpret them at meetings of the working groups and bodies. Formation of national position on proposed and prepared documents in European legislation in the railway transport is thus very complex and complicated matter involving issues of the whole railway. These positions which are presented in the European institutions must also be coordinated and interrelated. They must also be linked with the activities of other expert groups. A great benefit is a cooperation with universities when documents approved by RISC become learning material and simultaneously so there are incentives for entering the specialized work as well as incentives for science and research. |
