Train run protection systems The installation of the Sistema di Controllo Marcia Treno (SCMT), the Train Operation Support System (SSC), in the infrastructure or ERTMS on HS lines is indicated in the ePIR portal. As regards the characteristics and functionalities of the two systems, reference should be made to the regulations posted in www.rfi.it

TRAFFIC RESTRICTIONS
3.4.1 Specialised Infrastructure The dedicated or specialised lines for HS passenger services and the adjusted or specialised lines for freight services are indicated in the ePIR portal, which also details whether the adaptation/specialisation is total or partial and, in the latter case, the relevant periods (assumed partial time) and other permitted services (assumed partial utilise) are highlighted.
3.4.2 Environmental Restrictions For memo.
3.4.3 Dangerous Goods The yards suited to the terminalisation/handling of dangerous goods are shown in the ePIR portal. The Regulations concerning the International Carriage of Dangerous Goods by Rail (RID), besides the provisions referred to in paragraphs 2.6 and 4.7, apply, as such, to the international rail transport of dangerous goods.
3.4.4 Tunnel Restrictions For traffic restrictions in tunnels, see paragraph 3.3.2, relating to the line characteristics for combined transport.
3.4.5 Bridge Restrictions As regards traffic restrictions on the infrastructure bridges, reference should be made to the document called “Caratteristiche tecnico-funzionali della Infrastruttura ferroviaria nazionale gestita da RFI” (Engineering and functional characteristics of the railway infrastructure managed by RFI).
3.4.6 Other Restrictions Following are the characteristics of the traction vehicles that are barred from running on the line sections, because of the negative effects i\nduced on the infrastructure capacity due to the reduced performance in terms of speed and one hour continuous power rating. Any exceptions to the operation of the vehicles in question shall be considered on a case by case basis, on partial sections, besides in the case of specific measures of deviations of traffic flows for line interruptions.
