ISO and IEC maintain terminological databases for use in standardization at the following addresses: IEC Electropedia: available at http://www.electropedia.org/ ●ISO Online browsing platform: available at https://www.iso.org/obp 3.1 Urban Guided Transport (UGT) systems system covering metro, tram and light rail, and defined as public transport systems permanently guided at least by one rail, intended for the operation of local, urban and suburban passenger services with self-propelled vehicles and operated either segregated or not from general road and pedestrian traffic Note 1 to entry: Adapted from CEN-CENELEC Guide 26. 3.2 metro system UGT system operated on its own right of way and segregated from general road and pedestrian traffic; consequently designed for operations in tunnels, viaducts or on surface level but with physical separation in such a way that inadvertent access is not possible Note 1 to entry: In different parts of the world, Metro systems are also known as the underground, the subway or the tube. Rail systems with specific construction issues operating on a segregated guideway (e.g. monorail, rack railways) are also treated as Metros as long as they are designated as part of the urban public transport network. Note 2 to entry: Adapted from CEN-CENELEC Guide 26. 3.3 tram UGT system not segregated from general road and pedestrian traffic, which shares its right of way with general road and/or pedestrian traffic and is therefore embedded in its relevant national road traffic legislation (highway codes and specific adaptations) Note 1 to entry: Adapted from CEN-CENELEC Guide 26. 3.4 light rail UGT system operated on parts of the system not segregated from general road and pedestrian traffic, and on parts of the system with segregated right-of-way. The segregation may include some sections of line where inadvertent access is not possible Note 1 to entry: Adapted from CEN-CENELEC Guide 26. 3.5 local rail system system connecting city centres with their suburban hinterland or regional local centres, operated on rights of way which are basically segregated from general road and/or pedestrian traffic and/or which can be declared by law as independent from the public environment even if they are not segregated by location, form of construction or appropriate measures Note 1 to entry: Local rail systems, by national decision complying with Article 1.3 (a] or (b] of Directive 2008/57/EC, may be excluded from the European Community Rail System. Note 2 to entry: For historical reasons local rail systems may be strongly influenced by conventional railway parameters and their operations procedures. Note 3 to entry: Adapted from CEN-CENELEC Guide 26. 3.6 tram/train vehicle designed for combined use on both a tram or light rail infrastructure and a heavy rail infrastructure Note 1 to entry: Adapted from DIRECTIVE (EU) 2016/797.BS EN 15153-4 pdf download.
