data exchange between the IT systems of connected infrastructure managers, allocation bodies and path
applicants. PCS consists of hardware and software components (the central system).
(B)
Each PCS User transfers and receives Data either automatically via its own domestic system or
manually into/from PCS.
(C)
RNE has the exclusive right to operate PCS and to grant licenses to others to access the data
contained in the database of PCS.
(D)
RNE intends to grant a license to the PCS User with the right to use and access PCS.

PCS is merely a tool for pooling and aligning path requests and path offers of PCS Users in order to
facilitate their timetabling process. However, by providing PCS, RNE does not in any way assume the
responsibility of national rail traffic control or management authorities, rail operators or infrastructure
managers, whose operations and liability will continue to be determined by applicable law governing
safety.
2.4
