Information and Communication Technology On Trains

Historical Scenario asking for TCN -Train Communication Network

The need to set up a network on-board of railway vehicles

arose in the late Seventies, at first for presenting diagnostic

information to the driver.

The use of electronic devices on board, since the end of

Seventies, was highlighting the necessity for train drivers and

maintenance staff to get quickly the status of the whole control

system and to receive synthetic messages and instructions in

case of faults.

CENELEC-ACRI WORKSHOP 20 October 2011


3 3

On board transmission of basic TCMS information

At that time the remote control/monitoring of subsystems, on board of

trains, was assured by robust wires that carried information with

significant current load and voltage level from 24 to 110 Volts.

Such “heavy” on board link was a specific requirement of Railway

Operators, mainly for safety reason, high reliability of the system and

ability to operate in hard environments (both from climatic point of

view: wide range of temperature, humidity, etc. and electro-magnetic

conditions).

The interoperability at international level was guaranteed by the UIC

leaflet: international trains consisted of coaches equipped with a

standardized 13-poles cable, able to distribute some basic commands

(door closure, light on and off, public address system).



4 4

TCN rationale and requirements

The TCN was requested to be able to satisfy the following specific

requirements:

1. Suitable to be used in the special railway environment mainly referring

to climatic and physical conditions (e.g. electro-magnetic aspects,

mechanical robustness of cables and, mainly, of connectors)

2. Able to be quickly reconfigured when the train composition changes

(vehicles coupling and uncoupling). This requirement is typical of

trains and not of other transportation means (cars, ships, aircrafts

don’t have problems of coupling and uncoupling)

3. Oriented to different data scope and performance (there are in general

different needs for control signal and diagnostic or monitoring systems)

4. High level of Reliability, Availability, Maintainability (usually values of

RAMs are contractual conditions)



5 5

TCN preparation. The coordinated activities

Standardisation

The NWIP for the standardization of the Train Communication Network was circulated within the

National Committees and accepted; a working group of the International Electrotechnical Committee

(IEC) TC9 was set up: WG22

Industry

Some European Railway industries set up a “Joint Development Project”, commonly known as “JDP”,

to specify a new on board network, collecting the experience of ABB, AEG, SIEMENS, FIREMA and

developing communication modules required by railway needs.

A prototype implementation and verification supported the specification phase and a reference

platform was demonstrated.

Exploitation on a real train

JDP industries agreed with some European Railway operators (Italy, Switzerland, Germany, The

Netherlands) a real-life test phase on an international train in normal passenger service, between

Switzerland (Interlaken) and Holland (Amsterdam), through Germany (from Basel to Emmerich). A

specific consortium, leaded by the European Research Railway Institute (ERRI) was set up and named

“IGZ”, Industrie Gruppe Zugbus. The IEC61375 standard and the UIC556 leaflet, that were under

preparation, were verified in a real environment.

The TCN success

IEC TC9 WG22: Train Communication Network

Scope and results

a) to define a complete network for digital communication onboard trains

b) Developed in strong cooperation with UIC

c) Finally resulted in standard documents IEC 61375-1 (TCN) and IEC 61375-2 (Conformance Test)

d) UIC issued several leaflets to define the communication data UIC556, UIC557, UIC647

e) An European Project contributed:

f) Some other were launched:

g) UIC prepared an annex of the UIC556 to set up procedure and laboratories for the TCN/UIC node

homologation.

CLC TC9X WG15: Liaison CEN/TC278/WG3 – IEC/TC9/WG43&46 Scope

a) To revise the documents prepared by IEC TC9 WG43 and WG46 and prepare the text for the parallel vote

b) to be the official liaison with CEN TC278 WG3 and IEC TC9 WG43 and WG46.

CLC TC9XB WG14 – Intercommunication between vehicles and

train/wayside Technical reports available:

- TR50501-1: Data dictionary and rules for functional standardization

- TR 50501-2: Technical contents of standardization work in the field of intercommunication

CEN ICT related activities

CEN TC278 WG3: ROAD TRANSPORT and TRAFFIC TELEMATICS

Scope

Promote standardization to create pan-European interoperability and compatibility of

vehicle and infrastructure functions;

Concentrate standardization on items necessary for compatibility, interoperability and

common understanding;

Define interfaces to support a multi-vendor situation;

Base priorities in standardization on the urgency of the need of the standard or on the

difficulty of the standardization task;

Support standardization with the aim to facilitate legislation and regulation.

Note The area of standardization was extended from the road vehicles to the urban and sub-urban vehicles

including Trams and Metros and consequently creating an overlap with IEC TC9 WG43 and WG46.

The coordination between CEN and IEC is facilitated and assured by CLC TC9X WG15

COOPERATION with IEEE

Liaison with IEEE P1901

• Standard for high-speed communication via electric power lines (Broadband over

Power Lines = BPL)

• Transmission frequencies below 100 MHz

• Throughput up to 150-200 Mbps (MAC level)

• Current primary market is retrofitting of airplanes to add multimedia services

without additional cabling.

• Technical development led by Boeing

• Standard now finalised, to be published January 2011

ADDITIONAL COOPERATIONS WITHIN IEC

Liaison with TC100

• AUDIO, VIDEO and MULTIMEDIA systems and equipment

• It is dealing with multimedia in general

• They have also defined a discovery procedure

• http://tc100.iec.ch

Liaison with JTC1 SC29

• SC29 is a Joint Committee between ISO and IEC

• Coding of audio, picture, multimedia and hypermedia information

• It is standardizing MAF: Multimedia Application Format

• Oriented to MPEG4

• http://www.itscj.ipsj.or.jp/sc29/

IEC/CENELEC COORDINATION with other

Standardisation/Regulation BODIES dealing with ICT



44 44

A view into the future

• Functional Interface Specification for TCMS subsystems/devices

(MODTRAIN FIS documents are transferred to CLC TC9X WG15 and then to IEC TC9 WG43 and WG46)

• High speed wireless (contactless) ETB/ECN vehicle coupling

(IEEE 802.11p: Wireless Access in Vehicular Environment)

• TCN safe bus

• Ethernet on Power Lines

(liaison IEEE P1901)

• New coding for high speed ETB/ECN transmission on existing cables

(liaison IEEE P1901)



45 45

Conclusions

• The standardisation activity relevant to on-board communication and

train to ground communication, both at International and European level,

is mature and complete. Nevertheless some work remains to do, e.g.

Communication and Application profiles and T2G.

• The standardisation relevant to the on-board and Train to Ground

informatics is running and the introduction of FBS, SBS and SOA is

pushed by the IEC TC9 WG46 and CLC TC9X WG15

• The area of specification of standard function/End Device shall be

investigated, possibly by research projects, in order to evaluate the

benefits and feasibility of standardising TCMS and MM functions/End

Devices in order to reach interchangeability of on-board units and

interoperability between such units and the fixed installations.
