2.2.3.13. Non Leading<br />

The Non-Leading (NL) [88, p. 26] Mode is used for slave engin<strong>es</strong>, which are not electrically<br />

coupled and are therefore not remote controlled by the master, as it is the case for the Sleeping<br />

mode (Subsection 2.2.3.6). This situation is also called Tandem [22]. In this Mode, only the<br />

trains position is acquired.<br />

2.2.3.14. STM European<br />

The STM European (SE) [88, pp. 27-28] Mode should enable the usage of supervision functionality<br />

of national systems by ETCS. Also, the acc<strong>es</strong>s of the STM to on-board equipment via<br />

ETCS should be possible. ETCS supervis<strong>es</strong> the train movement with a profile given by the<br />

STM.<br />

2.2.3.15. STM National<br />

In the STM National (SN) [88, p. 29] Mode, the STM has acc<strong>es</strong>s to the train on-board equipment<br />

via ETCS. The STM is r<strong>es</strong>ponsible for all supervisions including the interaction with the driver.<br />

2.2.3.16. Reversing<br />

In the Reversing (RV) [88, pp. 30-31] Mode, a train can drive backwards. The speed and<br />

position of the train is supervised by ETCS.<br />

2.2.4. Mode Transitions<br />

There are various possible transitions between Mod<strong>es</strong> un<strong>der</strong> different conditions [88, pp. 36-40],<br />

which are, due to their extensiven<strong>es</strong>s, not explicitly listed here. [88, pp. 37] provid<strong>es</strong> a good<br />

overview in form of a transition table.<br />

2.3. openETCS<br />

openETCS [38, 37] d<strong>es</strong>crib<strong>es</strong> the idea of the approach to implement the ETCS functionality on<br />

the basis of open source software (OSS) [94].<br />

Due to the advantag<strong>es</strong>, openETCS should not only be implemented by OSS but by Free/Libre<br />

Open-source Software (FLOSS). This means that the openETCS software should not only be<br />

distributed with open source code but also un<strong>der</strong> licens<strong>es</strong> that allow users to use, study, modify,<br />

and (re-)distribute the source code. The main advantag<strong>es</strong> compared to conventional closed<br />

source software methods are listed below:<br />

reduction of licens<strong>es</strong> costs<br />

No external / commercial license fe<strong>es</strong> are nec<strong>es</strong>sary because<br />

other FLOSS can be used for openETCS.<br />
