Railway applications - Urban guided transport management and command/control systems - Part 1: System principles and fundamental concepts
IEC 62290‑1:2025 provides an introduction to the IEC 62290 series and deals with the main concepts, the system definition, the principles and the basic functions of UGTMS (urban guided transport management and command/control systems) for use in urban guided passenger transport lines and networks. This document is applicable for new lines or resignalling of existing lines.
This document is applicable to applications using:
- continuous data transmission,
- continuous supervision of train movements by train protection profile, and
- localisation of trains by onboard UGTMS equipment (reporting trains), and optionally by external wayside (and optionally onboard) device.
The IEC 62290 series 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.
These systems are designated herein as urban guided transport management and command/control systems (UGTMS). UGTMS cover a wide range of operations needs from non-automated (GOA1) to unattended (GOA4) operation. A line may be equipped with UGTMS on its full length or only partly equipped.
The IEC 62290 series does not specifically address security issues. However, aspects of safety requirements may apply to ensuring security within the urban guided transit system.
The main objectives of this series are as follows:
- to provide a baseline system description and functional requirements specification for a transport authority to use in a request for proposal,
- to provide recommendations for those transport authorities wishing to acquire an interoperable or interchangeable system.
It is the responsibility of the transport authority concerned to decide on how to apply the IEC 62290 series and to take into account their particular needs.
This document is applicable to applications using:
- continuous data transmission,
- continuous supervision of train movements by train protection profile, and
- localisation of trains by onboard UGTMS equipment (reporting trains), and optionally by external wayside (and optionally onboard) device.
This third edition cancels and replaces the second edition published in 2014. This edition constitutes a technical revision.
This edition includes the following significant technical changes with respect to the previous edition:
a) Figure 3, giving the system environment of UGTMS, has been amended to reflect the adaptation of it;
b) external equipment for which no requirement is described in the IEC 62290 series has been removed;
c) new external equipment having such requirements (like the washing machine) has been added.

L'IEC 62290‑1:2025 fournit une introduction à la série IEC 62290, une présentation des concepts principaux, une définition du système, les principes et les fonctions de base des UGTMS (systèmes de contrôle/commande et de gestion des transports guidés urbains) utilisés par les lignes et les réseaux de transport guidé urbain de voyageurs. Cette norme est applicable aux lignes nouvelles ou à la modernisation de la signalisation de lignes existantes.
Ce document est applicable aux applications utilisant:
- une transmission continue de données,
- une supervision continue du mouvement des trains par courbe de contrôle de vitesse,
- une localisation des trains par l’équipement embarqué UGTMS (trains communicants), et optionnellement par un dispositif externe au sol (et en option au bord).
La série IEC 62290 spécifie les exigences fonctionnelles, système et d’interface des systèmes de contrôle/commande et de gestion destinés à être utilisés sur les lignes et les réseaux de transport guidé urbain de voyageurs.
Ces systèmes sont identifiés ici par «systèmes de contrôle/commande et de gestion des transports guidés urbains» (UGTMS - Urban Guided Transport Management and Command/Control Systems). Les systèmes UGTMS recouvrent de fait une large gamme de besoins d'exploitation depuis l'exploitation non automatisée des trains (GOA1) jusqu’à l'exploitation sans personnel à bord des trains (GOA4). Une ligne peut être équipée avec UGTMS sur toute sa longueur ou seulement sur une partie.
La présente série ne traite pas de façon spécifique les problèmes de sécurité publique. Toutefois, certains aspects des exigences de sécurité technique peuvent s’appliquer pour contribuer à la garantie de la sécurité publique à l’intérieur des transports guidés urbains.
Les objectifs principaux de la présente série sont les suivants:
- fournir une description de base du système et une spécification des exigences fonctionnelles qu'une autorité en charge du transport pourra utiliser dans un appel d’offres,
- fournir des recommandations à ces autorités en charge du transport qui souhaitent acquérir un système interopérable ou interchangeable.
Il est de la responsabilité des autorités concernées en charge du transport de décider de la manière d’appliquer la présente série et de prendre en compte leurs besoins spécifiques.
Cette troisième édition annule et remplace la deuxième édition parue en 2014, dont elle constitue une révision technique.
Cette édition inclut les modifications techniques majeures suivantes par rapport à l'édition précédente:
a) la Figure 3 donnant l’environnement système d’UGTMS a été remise à jour pour refléter l’adaptation de celui-ci;
b) les équipements externes pour lesquels aucune exigence n’est décrite dans la série ont été retirés;
c) les nouveaux équipements externes ayant de telles exigences (comme la machine à laver) ont été ajoutés.

FOREWORD
1) The International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) is a worldwide organization for standardization comprising
all national electrotechnical committees (IEC National Committees). The object of IEC is to promote international
co-operation on all questions concerning standardization in the electrical and electronic fields. To this end and
in addition to other activities, IEC publishes International Standards, Technical Specifications, Technical Reports,
Publicly Available Specifications (PAS) and Guides (hereafter referred to as “IEC Publication(s)”). Their
preparation is entrusted to technical committees; any IEC National Committee interested in the subject dealt with
may participate in this pre
