1 Scope
The scope of this Technical Report is to summarize all available data on standardization work in the field of
Intercommunication including
1. the results of work of WG B14 carried out so far,
2. data from other related activities such as the research projects MODTRAIN and INTEGRAIL,
3. data from the sector organisation TMP.
NOTE “TMP”, Technical Management Platform, is one of the structures created by the rail representatives associations in order to
express common views on TSI open issues or standardization work programs (not active anymore).
2 Normative references
The following documents, in whole or in part, are normatively referenced in this document and are
indispensable for its application. For dated references, only the edition cited applies. For undated references,
the latest edition of the referenced document (including any amendments) applies.

3 Terms and definitions
For the purposes of this document, the following terms and definitions apply.
3.1
consist
train set
rake of coaches
single vehicle or a group of vehicles which are not separated during normal operation.
Note 1 to entry: A consist contains no, one or several consist networks.
assembly of vehicles (may be reduced to a single vehicle), which are permanently coupled while in service,
and fitted with a “vehicle communication system”, linking the devices, and providing one interface with the
train level (such a communication system may be a vehicle bus, spanning over all the vehicle of the consist).
Note 2 to entry: A physical consist which is not capable of data communication with other consist or ground installation is not in the
scope of the Reference Architecture. A consist is described by a set of static properties (as in UIC Leaflet 556 [BIB 2.])
3.2
entity
anything of interest (such as a person, material object, place or process) within a given domain of
discourse.
Note 1 to entry: An entity class is a stereotyped class used to model long-lived information that may be persistent. An entity is said
complex when it can be described by at least two other entities. Otherwise, it is called a simple entity or primitive
3.3
functional requirement
an action that the target system is able to perform
3.4
functional specification
specification of functions performed by the entities in a given application, in a manner that is independent of
the technology adopted to implement the specified functions

3.5
train
assembly of coupled consists (may be reduced to a single consist), configured for autonomous operation on
the railway system. and in use for an operational mission; the train is a dynamic object, identified with a “train
running number”, active only during its operational mission
4 Summary of results of works carried out by WG14
The main results of works carried out by WG14 so far, are documented in CLC/TR 50501-1, and are
summarised below:
4.1 Proposal for a standard “reference architecture” for vehicle intercommunication
Functions which are in the scope of this series of standards are supported by distributed applications.
Functional standardisation activities are supported by production of functional models.
The elaboration of a functional model for a specific function of the railway system, belonging to categories
STD2 and STD3 defined in the global scope of WG14, shall use a “reference architecture”.
The purpose of this Reference Architecture is to support the standardisation of the communication
procedures between vehicles and train/wayside.
To provide a common understanding among the standardisation working groups, this reference architecture
includes
• a list of the interacting entities which are considered in the reference architecture
o rolling stock entities: train, vehicles, devices,
o external entities interacting with rolling stock entities
o interfaces considered in the reference architecture because they are “interoperability
relevant”
4.2 Methods for functional modelling
The functional modelling framework which is described is derived from MODTRAIN European project results.
This framework is intended to provide a “common language” for the experts involved functional
standardisation of “communication” rail vehicle functions with interoperability constraints (i.e in the scope of
further standardisation works).
4.3 Requirements for a “Functional addressing” feature
Functional addressing was identified as an important issue in CLC/TR 50501-1:2007, 4.3, 4.5.4, and 5.4.2.
Annex B is dedicated to functional addressing in GSM-R and UIC leaflet 556. Is to be noted that GSM-R
consider “functional addressing” as one of the main “railway specific feature” which has been added to the
standard GSM communication system.
Requirements relative to functional addressing, already given in CLC/TR 50501-1, are
• a functional addressing scheme should be provided, which permits entities to be identified by a
“name”, used as a “functional address”, representative of their functional roles rather than by
“numbers” tied to the interface equipment they are using;
• use of functional addressing will include identifying on-train functions and other users performing
particular roles such as train driver, passenger, train conductor, etc.;

NOTE  Communications protocols not belonging to the “application levels”, which are using functional addresses, and are necessary for
the implementation of communications systems, sh
