The European Rail Traffic Management System aims at a Europe wide automatic speed control system, while telematic applications for rail freight services and passenger services will support cross-border services, providing passengers with journey planning tools (including connections to other trains and modes, support for reservation payment and luggage tracing) as well as real time updates.

Annexes B and D set out simplified reporting requirements, which may be used by Member States as alternatives to the normal detailed reporting requirements set out in Annexes A and C, for undertakings for which the total volume of goods or passenger transport is less than 500 million tonne-km or 200 million passenger-km respectively.
