DIN DKE SPEC 99002:2025-03

This document defines terms in the cross-cutting topics of artificial intelligence (AI) and railways with the aim of improving common understanding for AI applications for guided transport including railways. The developed terminology serves as a tool to improve communication, it addresses for example both rail vehicle manufacturers and their component suppliers as well as transport companies/rail vehicle operators, certifiers/assessors/approval bodies and scientific communities (for example, universities, colleges, institutes). This document does not address any safety-related aspects in the AI landscape. Furthermore, this document does not specify requirements for algorithms, test data, validation procedures, and the use of AI applications in railways. This DIN DKE SPEC has been developed according to the PAS procedure. The development of a DIN SPEC according to the PAS procedure is carried out in DIN-SPEC-consortiums and does not require the participation of all stakeholders.
