“…Identification of importance of TCIS and their subsystems through KPT could be useful for policy makers when considering Bpoints^affecting the specific KPT when implementing new or upgrading extant systems. For example, since the construction of the new railway tracks is expensive, it could be useful to know that the implementation of ERTMS could improve capacity (by removing bottlenecks) [12,34,51,71,84,114,128,131], interoperability [12,34,45,50,51,71,85,110,131], safety [6,11,12,19,44,50,51,55,71,75,79,84,85,114,125,128,131], energy efficiency [34, 84,114,131], and efficiency of operation [12,34,84,85,128,131]. Further, according to the authors' opinions, these findings can ensure recognition of interactions between KPT and particular classes of TCIS.…”

Purpose In the process of nowadays efficiency evaluation of any mode of transportation, sustainability results are the most important factor. In regard to railway sustainability, Train Control Information Systems (TCIS) are such advanced systems with important positive impacts. The main purpose of this study was therefore the evaluation of these impacts as well as the evaluation of Key Performance Themes (KPT) for sustainable railways. Methods Firstly a very detailed literature review of papers that have focused on TCIS and their improvements on railway sustainability, published in the scientific journal in the period from 2005 and 2016, was performed. The number of studies was then used as a main criteria in Analytical Hierarchical Process (AHP) evaluations or rankings of these systems and their impacts. Results The paper offers results from the first systematic review of papers which investigate the role of TCIS in terms of sustainability and, additionally, represents a refined approach to TCIS classification with a new classes descriptions. During review KPT for sustainable railways were also identified. Further, AHP evaluated the Train Management and Interlocking Systems and their subsystems as the most important TCIS, and safety and costs of equipment, installation, maintenance and operation as the most important themes. ConclusionsThe results are important for both, scholars for their future research and for other railway stakeholders and decision makers, who must select different systems and technologies for implementation in their railway systems with emphasis on increasing performance and sustainability. The study offers also the opportunities for further research in regard to railway sustainability.
