Vehicle utilisation.
The procedure described below is applicable to the infrastructures of SBB Infrastructure (including Sensetalbahn (STB) and Hafenbahn Schweiz (HBS)), BLS Netz AG and Schweizerische Südostbahn (SOB).
The safety certificate proves that you have established a safety management system (SMS) and that the requirements for continuous, safe and reliable operation are satisfied. This also includes ensuring that the vehicles to be used are compatible with the route to be travelled. The first distinction has to be made between a railway vehicle and a special vehicle (according to AB-FDV Infrastructure, I-30111).

The vehicle/route compatibility is assessed by means of: Route compatibility check (see below) |
Assessment of vehicle/route compatibility: If special vehicles are used on construction sites, the vehicle/route compatibility is assessed within the framework of the infrastructure managers’ construction site organisation. If special vehicles are used for private siding operation, the vehicle/route compatibility is assessed as part of an operating concept. |
