This Technical Specification 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, trolley-buses 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 equipment includes operation aid systems, automatic passenger information systems, fare collection systems, etc. The equipment directly related to the safety-related functioning of the vehicle (propulsion management, brake systems, door opening systems, etc...) are excluded from the scope of the present standard and are dealt with in other standardisation bodies. For the described application two bus systems are standardised. Part 1 to part 3 of EN 13149 describe the WorldFIP bus system and part 4 to part 6 describe the CANopen bus system. There is no ranking between the two bus systems.
The present Technical Specification 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 standard.
Part 1 of EN 13149 specifies the WorldFIP-based network. This specification describes the general architecture in terms of hierarchical layers according to the ISO reference model for Open Systems Interconnection (OSI) specified in ISO 7498.
Part 2 of EN 13149 specifies in detail the connectors and the connector pin assignment and the cabling.
Part 3 (this Technical Specification) specifies in detail the application profiles for a simple network.

Foreword
This document CEN/TS 13149-3:2007 has been prepared by Technical Committee CEN/TC 278 “Road
transport and traffic telematics”, the secretariat of which is held by NEN.
According to the CEN/CENELEC Internal Regulations, the national standards organizations of the following
countries are bound to announce this Technical Specification: Austria, Belgium, Bulgaria, Cyprus, Czech
Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Iceland, Ireland, Italy, Latvia,
Lithuania, Luxembourg, Malta, Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Romania, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain,
Sweden, Switzerland and United Kingdom.
Introduction
This Technical Specification is intended to be developed into part 3 of EN 13149, which gives rules for on-
board data transmission systems.
This part 3 together with part 1 and part 2 of EN 13149 describes a complete solution independent from part 4,
part 5 and part 6.
This document uses terms which are already used in other standards e.g. EN 12896 Road transport and
traffic telematics - Public transport - Reference data model, when applicable.
1 Scope
This Technical Specification 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, trolley-buses 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 equipment
includes operation aid systems, automatic passenger information systems, fare collection systems, etc.
The equipment directly related to the safety-related functioning of the vehicle (propulsion management, brake
systems, door opening systems, etc.) are excluded from the scope of the present standard and are dealt with
in other standardisation bodies.
For the described application two bus systems are standardised. Part 1 to part 3 of EN 13149 describe the
WorldFIP bus system and part 4 to part 6 describe the CANopen bus system. There is no ranking between the
two bus systems.
The present Technical Specification 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 standard.
Part 1 of EN 13149 specifies the WorldFIP-based network. This specification describes the general
architecture in terms of hierarchical layers according to the ISO reference model for Open Systems
Interconnection (OSI) specified in ISO 7498.
Part 2 of EN 13149 specifies in detail the connectors and the connector pin assignment and the cabling.
Part 3 (this Technical Specification) specifies in detail the application profiles for a simple network.

3 Terms and definitions
For the purposes of this document, the terms and definitions given in EN 12896:2006 apply.
4 Vehicle related identifiers and numbers
4.1 General
The Vehicle ID is assigned uniquely by the system designer to the vehicle. Usually it refers to the vehicle ID
containing the number given inside of the main computer or the number is coded by a fixed connector at the
main computer (see Figure 1: x).
The Body ID assigned by the system designer refers to the body ID containing the readable identification on
the vehicle body. Usual this text is printed on the vehicle body (see Figure 1: y).
The Radio ID assigned by the system designer refers to the radio ID containing the textual radio address of
the bus. This address is necessary for selective calls to this bus (see Figure 1: z).

4.2 Vehicle operation identifiers and numbers
The Garage ID assigned by the system designer refers to the garage ID object containing the textual
description of the depot or garage, where a vehicle is going to be parked during the night (see Figure 2).
The Block ID assigned by the system designer indicates the work of a vehicle from the time it leaves a parking
point (depot, garage) after parking until its next return to park at a parking point. Any subsequent departure
from a parking point after parking marks the start of a new block. A block should consist of one or several lines
(see Figure 2). The Block ID refers to the Block ID object containing the textual description of the block.
The Line ID assigned by the system designer refers to the Line ID object containing the textual or numerical
name of the line, which the public knows it by. A line should consist of a single route or a group of routes.
Key
Bz = Block z
Lx = Line x
Gi = Garage i
Figure 2 - Non-closed and closed block
A route is an ordered list of points defining one single path through the road (or rail) network. Stop points,
timing points and points of other types should be used to define this path uniquely. The route number is
related to a line (see Figure 3).
The Stop Point ID assigned by the system designer refers to the Stop Point ID object representing uniquely a
stop point within a transportation network (see Figure 3).
The Destination Number is the reference to the route destination. The number can differ from Stop Point ID
(see Figure 3).
The number of running in route representation is the Running Stop Point Number within a route (see Figure 3).

5 Requirements
5.1 Hardware preferences
There is a WorldFip convention to characterise standard physical device profiles that contain specific
applications and virtual devices, but this is beyond the present scope of this part of the standard. The aim here
is to define the physical layer and data object dictionary to enable the interoperability of physical devices
(Stations) on a vehicle WorldFip LAN. This specification deals essentially with the Transport Process Data
Units (TPDU) which is elsewhere referred to as Exchange Blocks (Annex A). The Applications Process Data
Units (APDU) also referred to in Annex A as Function Blocks, are not hereafter defined even though they
contribute to the Transport Process Data Units.
5.2 Devices in a complex network
The following illustrates the possible devices in a complex network.

The applications can run with different bus arbiter modes that are defined as follows.
Mode Function
Test Out of service network testing or configuration for network
management using a Test and Maintenance Device which
assumes master bus arbiter when attached to the network
Service Normal operation is for the master bus arbiter to provide for
full service functions including clock
Fallback service Sub-master for reduced service functionality if master fails.
5.5 Physical layer

INDEX – A four digit hexadecimal number assigned by system management services for addressing and
these can be related to the station address.
TITLE – A short meaningful description.
FUNCTION – A more complete description of the purpose and function. When the data is of a complex and
structured then special values are inserted in the Data Tables.
NAME – A meaningful abbreviation of the title directly related to the index and assigned by the programmer to
simplify coding.
TPDU TYPE – Transport Process Data Unit Types are.
Periodic Aperiodic
Variables Variables
Messages – Acknowledged Messages – Acknowledged

SIST-TS CEN/TS 13149-3:2009
CEN/TS 13149-3:2007 (E)
DATA TYPE - Transport Process Data Units should use a standardized structure and can be in two forms:
Simple or Structured.
Simple Structured
Boolean Structure of simple types
Integers(two’s complement notation) Structure of structures
Bit Strings(32 Bytes Max) Tables
Byte Strings (126 Bytes Max) Table of Tables
Visible Strings Table of structures
General Time (14 Ch –YYYY/MM/DD/HH/mm/SS) Lists
4 Byte simple precision floating point ASCII text
8 Byte double precision floating point
ASCII text
LENGTH - Micro FIP supports units of 8 Bytes in multiples up to 128 Bytes. FullFIP supports units of any
length up to 256 Bytes.
PRODUCER (P) – Station producing a PDU (See Annex B)
CONSUMER (C) – Station consuming a PDU (See Annex B). Where this is not specifically defined it is
presumed that the bus arbiter and other devices may consume this data.
DYNAMIC REFRESHMENT – Periodicity that an application refreshes the data.
BUS ARBITER MODE – Some data may be produced for either Test mode, Service mode or both. Fallback
mode is partial functioning of the network if the main bus arbiter fails.
APPLICATION RESPONSE – There may be a need to define the response time of an application in a device
to an event being produced by another device i.e. a doors closed event may trigger a process that causes
information displays to update with 1 s.
DATA VALUE – The detailed construction, value and units of measurement defined for each octet in the PDU.
5.6.2 Text structure
Texts can be stored (and transferred) in two different formats: plain text and XML formatted text.
5.6.3 Plain text
This format will be used to store and transfer plain text without any specific control characters. It is usual to
control old style displays or to store the names of stations.
5.6.4 XML formatted text
The standard permit XML formatted text. The content is considered as user defined.
