The purpose of this standard is to define the requirements for Track Warning Systems (TWS) used to warn people about approaching trains and rail vehicles when on or near the track during their work. TWS can be subdivided into the following types: - LOWS - Lookout Operated Warning Systems; - ATWS - Automatic Track Warning Systems; - SCWS – Signal Controlled Warning Systems. Each class can be used as a warning system by itself or with an additional function that can influence approaching trains and rail vehicles. For instance LOWS-I, ATWS-I or SCWS-I (-I: influence function). This standard defines minimum system requirements for TWS. The responsible committee for this standard is NA 087-00-01-09 UA "Sicherheitsmaßnahmen während Gleisbauarbeiten" ("Safety protection on the track during work") at DIN.
