BS EN 62290-1:2014

What is BS EN 62290-1 - Urban guided transport management and command/control systems about?

BS EN 62290-1 is the first part of the multiple series that provides an introduction and deals with the main concepts, the system definition, the principles and the basic functions of UGTMSs (Urban Guided Transport Management and Command/Control Systems) for use in urban guided passenger transport lines and networks.

BS EN 62290-1 is applicable for new lines or for upgrading existing signalling and command control systems.

BS EN 62290-1 is applicable to applications using:

• Continuous data transmission
• Continuous supervision of train movements by train protection profile
• Localisation of trains by external wayside equipment or reporting trains

Note: BS EN 62290-1 is not applicable to existing command and control systems or projects in progress prior to the effective date of BS EN 62290-1.

Who is BS EN 62290-1 - Urban guided transport management and command/control systems for?

BS EN 62290-1 on railway applications is useful for:

• Railway manufacturers
• Manufacturers, designers of machines
• Railway industry and authorities
• Train operating companies (TOCs)
• Urban railway manager
• Railway infrastructures
• Regulatory authorities of urban transport

Why should you use BS EN 62290-1 - Urban guided transport management and command/control systems?

UGTMS covers a wide range of operations needs from non-automated (GOA1) to unattended (GOA4) operation. BS EN 62290-1 is used to upgrade current signalling and command control systems.

BS EN 62290-1 specifies a list of UGTMS requirements that are divided into mandatory and optional functions in order to develop one or more generic applications that include all mandatory functions as well as all or a subset of optional functions.

BS EN 62290-1 specifies the functional, system and interface requirements for the command, control, and management systems intended to be used on urban, guided passenger transport lines and networks which will assist you in achieving interoperability, interchangeability, and compatibility.
