Fig. 1 The harmonization procedure for technical regulations for railway infrastructure<br />

maintenance in the Republic of Serbia [9]<br />

This paper analyses European technical regulations in the area of railway track maintenance, shows<br />

the current level of harmonization of Serbian regulations with EU technical regulations and gives<br />

directions for solving this task.<br />

2. TECHNICAL REGULATIONS IN THE AREA OF RAILWAY TRACK MAINTENANCE IN EU<br />

2.1. Technical Specification of Interoperability and the conventional railway system<br />

maintenance<br />

The Technical Specification of Interoperability relating to the trans-European conventional rail system -<br />

Subsystem Infrastructure covers the conventional railway system maintenance from the aspect of<br />

safety, reliability and availability, health, environmental protection and technical compatibility of the<br />

maintenance installations for conventional rolling stock [6]. The technical installations and the<br />

procedures used during the maintenance must ensure the safe operation of the infrastructure<br />

subsystem and not constitute a danger to health and safety. Also, the influence of the technical<br />

installations and the procedures must not exceed the permissible levels of nuisance with regard to the<br />

surrounding environment.<br />

According to [6] the Infrastructure Manager has to define, for each conventional rail line, a<br />

maintenance plan. The plan defines types of inspection and testing and their frequency, professional<br />

competences of staff, measuring methods and necessary procedures. Therefore the maintenance<br />

plan shall contain at least [6]:<br />

• a set of limit values,<br />

• a statement about the methods, professional competences of staff and personal<br />

protective safety equipment necessary to be used,<br />

• the rules to be applied for the protection of people working on or near the track,<br />

• the means used to check the respect of in-service values, and<br />

• the measures taken (speed restriction, repair time) when prescribed values are exceeded.<br />
