Introduction
The present situation is the following:

— A large number of Vehicle Scheduling and Control Systems (VSCS) do not use a data bus,
resulting in

— point to point data links with expensive cabling which cannot be preinstalled during the
manufacturing of the vehicle, increasing the cost of the system

— different proprietary transmission protocols which have to be implemented as and when


required

— difficulty in changing the provider of a given type of equipment as no compatibility exists


between different providers of the same type of equipment

— Some systems implement the VDV IBIS bus specification, but:


— IBIS bus is very slow and no longer covers the need for high speed data transmission
between equipment

— IBIS bus is not an open system and does not cover some of the necessary messages
— practically every VSCS manufacturer has been obliged to implement a second high speed
data bus which is proprietary, resulting in no possibility of interchanging equipment with other
manufacturers

The buses, which are proposed by CEN/TC278, aim at avoiding the preceding difficulties with the
following characteristics:

— high capacity and high speed data bus


— consistent workplan ensuring interoperability down to the message level
— low cost solution
— already standardised data bus
— large number of already existing and future applications outside the VSCS area, ensuring the
existence of equipment on the market, the progressive decrease of the cost of the necessary
chips and the timelessness of the solution

— existing chips and basic software up to and including the layer 7 of the ISO 7 layer
communication model and existing developments tools, minimising the development costs

The buses proposed by CEN/TC 278 have been chosen among others through a progressive
selection process. This work took into account a flexible approach to the range of applications, the
potential traffic loading under different operating circumstances and the definition of objective
criteria for a transmission bus. The candidate buses were evaluated against the criteria in terms of
performance, cost, industrial support and the existence of maintained documents.

EN 1 31 49-1 :2004 (E)

1 Scope
The present document specifies the choice and the general application’s rules of an onboard data
transmission bus between the different equipment for service operations and monitoring of the
fleet. This applies to equipment installed onboard buses, trolleybuses and tramways only as part of
a bus fleet operation. It excludes tramways when they are operated as part of a train, subway or
metro operation. The equipment includes operations aid systems, automatic passenger information
systems, fare collection systems, etc....

The equipment directly related to the functioning of the vehicle (driver dashboard, engine
management, brake systems, door opening systems, etc...) are excluded from the scope of the
present document and are dealt with in other standardisation bodies.

Two alternative transmission buses will be accepted. This document refers to the so called
WORLDFIP bus. A second set of documents will be published for the second solution (so called
CAN). There is no ranking between the two solutions and the selected bus system, between the
two standardised alternatives, shall be subject to an agreement between each transport operating
organisation and its equipment providers.

The present document refers to the so-called OSI transmission model and covers OSI layers 1 ,2,7,
the other layers are not used in our applications.

The present document covers the link between equipment inside a single vehicle. Although it could
be applied to multiple vehicles, this application is not explicitly covered by this document.

The present document is the first part of a set of standards, related to the onboard transmission
bus, which will comprise, for each allowed transmission bus, the following set of documents:

a) choice of the bus and general application’s rules (EN 1 31 49-1 )


b) cabling specifications (EN 1 31 49-2)
c) message’s content specifications (prCEN TS 1 31 49-3)

1 -Introduction:
1 -1 -Scope:
This informative annex is aimed at explaining the path followed to choose the transmission buses.

The purpose of this document is to specify the main requirements of a transmission bus to be used
between the on board equipment of a Vehicle Scheduling and Control System for road public
transport vehicles. It corresponds to the Work Item 3.1 .1 of the program of work of the CEN
TC278/WG3 "Public Transport". It applies to equipment installed onboard buses, trolleybuses and
tramways only as part of a bus fleet operation. It excludes tramways when they are operated as
part of a train, subway or metro operation. This document has been the basis for the rest of the
standardisation work on the on board data transmission bus, it has first been published as part of
an Internal Technical report.

The use of this transmission bus is limited to the systems and equipment on board the vehicles of
urban and interurban public transportation (buses and tramways when they are operated as buses,
excluding transportation in complete individual sites such as trains or tramways operated as trains)
that are designed for the operation of public transportation (operation aid systems, automatic
passenger information systems, fare collection systems, maintenance aid systems).

The functions corresponding to the management of the vehicle itself (such as for example engine
control, brake control, etc.) are totally excluded from the scope of work of the present document.

Normally the scope of the document is limited to the transmissions taking place onboard a single
vehicle, the transmission between more than one vehicle may require a separate intervehicle bus.
However, it would be preferred (but it is not taken as mandatory for the definition of the required
bus), to be able to extend the bus through multiple vehicles (3 at the maximum) to avoid the
complication of an intervehicle bus. To evaluate this possibility, the additional transmission load
corresponding to the addition of a supplementary vehicle will be defined.

The Tables given in chapter 4 to evaluate the transmission busload are only rough estimates and
shall not been taken as mandatory.

the vehicles and the VSCS computer or the Garage computer
-On board and/or Central Control Room real time continuous or discrete localisation of the
vehicles
-Automatic and manual Control of the vehicles: schedule or interval adherence,
interchanges management, departure time at terminals and specific stations management
-Vehicle duty management
-Driver duty management
-Fare collection management
-Passenger counting and vehicle charge monitoring
-Fuel consumption monitoring
-Vehicle alarms monitoring
-Driver dialogue
-Passenger information on board the vehicle, on ground and at home
-Traffic lights priority
-Automatic statistics acquisition and processing
-Control of the garages

2-2-Architecture of the system:

Depending on the subset of functions being performed, the architecture of the system may vary.
The most general architecture is represented on the Figure 1 (coming from the DRIVE project
BARTOC) taking into account the different possibilities to implement the system.

Figure 1 represents the main elements of the system and their links. The most comprehensive
systems are composed of:

-a Control Centre with a VSCS computer and the attached regulator or operator
workstations. The VSCS computer normally manages the whole system and
communicates in real time with the vehicles and other peripherals. There exist also
completely decentralised systems in which the central computer is reduced and does not
communicate in real time with the vehicles.
-links to other control and information centres to exchange information for example with an
external transport user information server.
-a specific link to the traffic control centre in order to implement a centralised priority at
traffic lights (this priority may also be implemented without any link to the traffic control
centre in a decentralised concept) and to exchange information on congestion and travel
times.
-a link to the company database in order to automatically receive the theoretical
parameters of the system (schedules, driver duties, vehicle duties, etc...) and to download
the statistics produced by the system.
-a link to the fuel distribution subsystem
-a link to the driver sign on subsystem
-a link to the garage management subsystem
-voice links to the network agents.

4. CHARACTERISTICS OF THE ON-BOARD INTER EQUIPMENT


DATA EXCHANGES
4.1 Inventory of Data Exchanges
The following explanatory notes are provided as a guide to the inventory:

• The terminology conforms to document No. 21 - Glossary of terms reference EuroBus Project
V2025 where possible.

• The inventory is related to the communications between devices listed in Chapter 3.

• Data may be transmitted to different devices. For example a tag (beacon) identity may be
required by the destination sign, or the main on board computer unit, or the ticket machine. To
consider the worst-case situation for the transmission system, the destination of the data is
therefore given as the main on board computer, which then relays the data and obtains
acknowledgements to ensure the integrity of the Serial Data-Bus Bar.

• It is envisaged that any device containing a microprocessor, could be programmed with its
individual application code via the data-bus. Since this would not occur whilst the vehicle is in
service such traffic is not included in the inventory.

4.2 Assumptions

The following assumptions are made to avoid duplication of exchanges for the following tables:

Table B1 ):

Ticket cancellors or validators have sufficient processing power and intelligence to accept, deduct
and cancel pre-paid tickets or smart cards. They will require configuration data for a trip, a black
list, exchange data for the man/machine interface, and produce statistics via the Main Onboard
Computer.

Table B2):

The Ticket issuing Machine or Vending machine will accept printing and formatting instructions
from the console via the Main Onboard Computer.

Table B3):

The Passenger Counter communicates with the Main Onboard computer only.

Table B4):

The Load Measurement Device communicates with the Main Onboard Computer only.

Table B5):

The Vehicle I/D Code Device provides a fixed identity for external communications, and for fleet
management in the VSCS system.

Table B6):

The Digital inputs and outputs are summarised as follows:

Digital Inputs

21
EN 1 31 49-1 :2004 (E)

1 . Battery switch (main key)

2. Driver keys (2 for a tram)

3. Cold start (to warm up the vehicle in advance)

4. Alarm on maximum folding (limit of the authorised angle of the articulation of an articulated
vehicle)

5. Air suspension pressure (alarm)

6. Engine oil pressure (alarm)

7. Engine temperature limit-fire (alarm)

8. Engine temperature high (alarm)

9. Water temperature high (alarm)

1 0. Rear door open

1 1 . Middle door open

1 2. Front door open

1 3. Next stop request

1 4. Engine speed (may be analogous)

1 5. Fuel consumption

1 6. Oil temperature gearbox high (alarm)

1 7. Voltage alarm

1 8. Emergency push buttons

1 9. External push to talk (radio)

Digital Outputs

1 . Side of door opening (tramways)

2. Exhaust filter burning

3. Driver speaker level control (may be analogous)

4. Switch on traffic pre-emption signal

5. Blocking of the ticket cancellors

6. Control of point movement (tramway)

7. Command to grease the wheel (tramway)

Vehicle Monitoring Error Login is assumed to be stored in the Main On Board Computer, where it is
later accessed via the Short range Communication System.

Table B7):

22
EN 1 31 49-1 :2004 (E)

The External Destination Sign are assumed to be configured from the Drivers Console using menu
selection, or automatically from the Main Onboard Computer at the start of the trip. The data
containing the home garage, route, and destination for all possible routes for the vehicle are
assumed to be updated by the Short range Communications System in the garage.

Table B8):

The Internal Passenger Information signals are considered to be configured by the Short range
Communications System, triggered by Location Device, and manually controlled from the Console
via the Main Onboard Computer.

Table B9):

The Voice Announcement System is considered to be configured by the Short Range


Communication System, triggered by location Devices and manually controlled from the Console.

Table B1 0):

The drivers Console is considered as the primary man/machine interface giving audio
(tones/speech) and visual information to the driver. It will be user friendly to minimise training and
operation, and be somewhat dependant upon other input devices to minimise initialisation of the
vehicle. Functions could be key or menu driven. It will enable/disable the vehicle equipment and
support fare collection and tele-diagnosis.

Table B1 1 ):

The Short Range Data Transmission Transceiver (Short Range Communication System in short) is
considered essentially as an extension of the VSCS Serial Data Bus Bar into the garage data
environment. It could also be a local link to traffic management systems such as traffic light priority.

Table B1 2):

The Tag reader is considered as a beacon reader as illustrated in Fig. 2, rather than as a vehicle
identification device.

Table B1 3):

The Badge Reader is considered as a security device and source of information for the VSCS
management system.

Table B1 4):

The Two Dimension Location Device is considered to be capable of feeding out two dimensional
information and data as waypoints.

Table B1 5):

The Main Onboard Computer will store and buffer data, and manage control, status and confidence
messages on the data bus.

Table B1 6):

The Test Maintenance Device is considered as a first in/first out data logger of status and alarm
messages for the vehicle and an access port for external test equipment.

Table B1 7):

The Gateway to Ancient Bus is a link to an existing vehicle control bus, i.e. IBI S or VDV. The data
traffic is not considered as significant in this analysis as it is already included in the other items.

23
EN 1 31 49-1 :2004 (E)

Table B1 8):

The Radio Communications Device is considered capable of receiving and transmitting speech and
data via duplex or semi duplex radio frequency channels. These may be configured in a trunked or
non-a trunked system and use either control or traffic channels. It is assumed that digital inputs
from the drivers console may be used to configure channels, status messages or operational data.
It is also assumed that vehicle's location or other two way data exchanges can be made to the
VSCS Central Computer.

Table B19):
The Vehicle Equipment Bridge is capable of communicating with the vehicle manufacturer’s bus.

4.3 Explanation on the Table B headings


1 . Function: It is the function for which a transmission takes place (ex: internal display or on board passenger
display) and is related to the VSCS.

2. Data: It is the data contained in the transmission exchange considered (ex: next stop identification).

3. Type: it is the type of data (message or file)


4. Input/Outputs: Qualifies the direction of the transmission in reference to the function (input or output from
the considered function)

5. Destination/source: It is the function destination or source of the transmission

6. Size: Estimation of the number of useful (not taking into account the protocol encapsulation) bytes of the
transmission
7. Recurrence: Number of occurrences/hour based on the assumption that there are 1 run per hour and 30
stops per run.

8. Ack: Maximum time allowed for an acknowledgement by the receiver. If there is no answer after this time,
a new transmission will be initiated.

9. Access time: Maximum acceptable delay between the decision to transmit by a sender and the effective
transmission on the bus.
1 0. Moment or location when the transmission takes place: Self explaining (for example at stops).

1 1 . Item: Table item reference number.

1 2. Device: Refers to the On Board Equipment Device.

1 3. Alternative: Refers to the alternative destination or source for a data exchange.

4.4 Events in the Operating day Cycle of a Vehicle

To provide a realistic estimate of the data-bus traffic, the following series of tables (C1 to C5)
analyse the functions from the Inventory of Data-Exchanges for a defined event in the operating
day cycle of a vehicle. These tables consider possible events and permissible overall time
durations for data-bus traffic, and the combined tables attempt to cover all events.

No allowance is made at this point for addressing, prioritisation, parity and error checking.

24
EN 1 31 49-1 :2004 (E)

Table 1 - Garage Run Out

The events here are minimised to ensure speedy entry of a vehicle into operational use. The
equipment needs to be fully powered up in a controlled sequence, which minimises the effects from
large fluctuations in the battery voltage which may occur during engine start up, and large current
surges caused by many items of equipment being activated simultaneously.

The activity on the data-bus will mostly be concerned with the final configuration of the vehicle for
the day's service, and its registration onto the VSCS network, up to the point of arrival at the start
terminus.

Table 2 - In Service Events

The events in this Table are concerned with normal activities in service, except for the Random,
Cyclic, and Failure events. The number of passengers boarding at each stop is effectively 1 5
between all Ticket Cancellors and Validators and 5 for all Ticket printer or Vending Machines.
Since the traffic load on the data-bus is not great, no further attempt has been made to re-estimate
for a full transmission busload, as the time duration would increase proportionately.

Table 3 - Failure/Maintenance Events

The events in this Table may not be fully comprehensive, but the maximum time limit is generally
not critical for maintenance events.

Table 4 - Garage Run-in Events

These are concerned with the downloading of the day's service records, equipment status, and the
upgrade of the vehicle data-base for significant changes, i.e. a new route data-base; advertising;
fare collection and statistics.

Table 5 - Cyclic and Random Events

These events are considered to occur within a very short time period to provide the worst-case
estimate of data-traffic. The average load would be significantly less if taken over a period of, say,
1 0 seconds. The traffic for other situations such as In Service Events should be added to the
contents of Table 5 to allow for simultaneous activity. A suitable protocol with prioritisation will
enable the data-bus speed to be set to realistic level.

25
EN 1 31 49-1 :2004 (E)

4.5 Synthesis of the Data

The Garage Run out Events show that event C1 .7 "Run to Outlet Gate" carries high data traffic due
to final bus operating system configuration. This may occur as a result of vehicle substitution when
it will be necessary to prepare the vehicle at the latest possible time for service.

"In Service Events" in Table C2 do not impose a significant load on the data bus.

Fault and maintenance Events in Table C3 can have some large data traffic, but the time
constraints are much less onerous as this occurs infrequently.

Garage Run In Events in Table C4 imposes the most severe conditions on the data bus. At this
stage we do not make any assumptions about the protocol to be used. The net data transmission
speed assuming 8 bits/byte is:

 1 5 . 83 3 . 3 3 + 4 . 000 
  x8 =1 58, 67 kbits/sec .
 1 000 

Random and Cyclic Events in Table C5 comprise many short messages. It may be conjectured that
all random and cyclic events occur simultaneously for the purpose of estimating the peak traffic and
this yields:

 5 . 580 +940 + 4 . 600 


  x8 =88 , 96k bits/sec .
 1 000 

This is greater than the probable traffic but there may be a lower efficiency in the network for short
data messages.

Combination of Random and Cyclic Events with Other Events. The addition of event C2.1 5 and
Table C5 yields the peak condition for normal traffic giving:

526 x8
+88 . 96 =93 ,1 68kbits/sec.
1 000

5-Criteria for selecting a new vehicle bus

5-1 -Definition of terms

1 .1 a Bus topology: Way in which the bus members are interconnected, e.g. star,
bus, etc.
1 .1 b Node: Access point on the bus for a set of data or a device on the
bus. A node without an address may receive broadcasted
messages only. Each node has a unique address (logical
node).
1 .1 c Bus segment: Part of bus without repeaters.
1 .1 d Device: Equipment (physical node) connected to the bus, which
presents a load to the bus.
1 .2 Min. no. of nodes: Minimum number of addressable nodes in a bus segment.
1 .3 Max. no. of nodes: Maximum number of addressable nodes in a bus segment.
1 .4 Max. no. of devices: Maximum number of devices connectable to a bus segment.
1 .5 Max. no. of segments: Maximum number of segments the bus can consist of.
1 .6 Min. Bus segment length: Minimum length of a bus segment without a repeater.
1 .7 Max. BUS segment length: Maximum length of a bus segment without a repeater.
1 .9 Expandability: What effort (configuration) is necessary in order for example,
to accept an extra member into the network:
· Auto configuration if the no. of devices or nodes is
changed.
· No hardware tuning is required if the no. of devices or
nodes is changed.
· The framing must allow for future expansion at the
application level.
2.1 - Intelligent device: Bus member with its own microprocessor. Data is prepared
before being transmitted.
- Non-intelligent device: E.g. sensors, digital inputs/outputs. No data processing in the
device.
2.2 Bus node structure Short description of the hardware / software architecture of an
access point to the bus. Example: "The buyable hardware
consists of a medium access unit (MAU), a protocol
ASIC/Chip and software which can be loaded into the
application processor", description of buffering, node
throughput, layers covered by node HW/SW, etc.
2.3 Availability of bus access List of existing firms which manufacture chip set and
hardware and software: possibly software for the bus system?
2.4 + Price of bus access Cost of chip set including software for the network
2.5 software and hardware: connection, for a) intelligent, b) non-intelligent devices.
Software is only necessary for intelligent devices.
2.6 Gateway: Special node as a connection between two or more different
bus systems (e.g. vehicle bus and train bus)

67
EN 1 31 49-1 :2004 (E)

2.7 Repeater: Device which as a pure amplifier or signal-regenerator can


increase the maximum bus length and secondly as an
intelligent bus member may extend the address space of the
connected devices. In the latter case, it is commonly called a
"bridge".
2.8 Repeater structure: short description of repeater hardware/software
2.9 Repeater costs: Costs of repeater device and cost of bus length cabling
including repeater if required for a bus length of 1 00 metres.
2.1 0 Bus arbiter: Bus master, which controls flow of data transmission on the
bus and/or polls the bus members (slaves).
Intelligent network node should be able to include bus arbiter
functionality. No separate bus arbiters requested, as software
may be included in node-software.
3.1 Transmission media: Medium which carries the data, e.g. copper (shielded,
unshielded), fibre optic, radio, infra-red etc.
3.2 Bus cable structure: Description of bus cable structure required e.g. no. of bus
wires, shielding, etc.
3.3 Cost of cabling/ Typical costs of cable/metre and of a device connection
Connectors: to the bus.
3.4 Power supply in bus The power supply for the bus members may be carried
Cable: in the same cable as the data lines. This can reduce cabling
costs.
3.5 Transmission of Analogue audio signals are digitalized and transmitted
audio data: on the bus as data packages in real time.
3.6 Transmission of Analogue video signals are digitalized and transmitted as
video data: data packages in real time.
4.1 Type of bus control: Multimaster: Different bus members can directly exchange
data with all or any other members.
Master-Slave: one device is the master, all others are slaves.
Data exchange is always initiated by the master.
4.2 Bus management method: Method or process used by the nodes to have access to the
bus (bus arbiter management, token passing, CDMA, etc.)
4.3 Interrupt/priority polling: To achieve a fast reaction time, certain nodes are polled more
frequently than others for their status. The fastest reaction
time is achieved when one node can attract attention via a
separate line.
4.4+ Priority scheme and Definition of how many priority levels related to the
4.5 priority level: polling cycle are possible and whether bus members can be
called according to priority.
4.6 Broadcast feature: Data directed at not an individual but all members. This data is
transmitted cyclically and does not need to be acknowledged
by the bus members.
4.7 Max. message length: Max. length of useful application data message
accommodated by the bus at the application interface without
the message being subdivided by the application itself. There
are 3 types of message:
- Control data: Equipment specific commands and technical
acknowledgements
- Process data: Cyclic broadcast of source addressed data
