Electronic railway equipment - On-board multimedia and telematic subsystems for railways - Part 1: General Architecture

This part of IEC 62580 specifies the general architecture of the On-board Multimedia and
Telematic Subsystem, which includes four categories of multimedia and telematic subsystems
identified as:
A Video surveillance/CCTV
B Driver and crew orientated services
C Passenger orientated services
D Train operator and maintainer orientated services
This part establishes:
• the boundary between the OMTS and the on-board communication system, as described
by the IEC 61375 series
• the methodology to describe an OMTS in terms of abstract model
• the general principles and the basic requirements to specify the services provided/needed
by each category
• the approach to ensure interoperability between services
This part gives guidelines for:
• OMTS classification
• functional breakdown structuring
• system breakdown structuring
• formal specification of an OMTS
This part is applicable to any type of train, e.g. open trains, multiple unit trains and closed
trains.
NOTE The general architecture provides a common basis for the application categories defined in part 2 and
possible future parts of this series of standards. Consequently, the approach is homogeneous for all multimedia
and telematic subsystems addressed by this series of standards.

Ta del standarda IEC 62580 določa splošno arhitekturo kabinskih multimedijskih in telematskih podsistemov (OMTS), ki vključuje štiri kategorije multimedijskih in telematskih podsistemov, opredeljenih kot:
A Video nadzorni sistem/CCTV
B Storitve, namenjene voznikom in posadki
C Storitve, namenjene potnikom
D Storitve, namenjene upravljavcem in vzdrževalcem vlakov
Ta del vzpostavlja:
• mejo med OMTS in komunikacijskim sistemom v vozilu, kakor je opisano v skupini standardov IEC 61375
• metodologijo za opis OMTS v okviru abstraktnega modela
• splošna načela in osnovne zahteve za določanje storitev, ki jih zagotavlja/zahteva posamezna kategorija
• pristop za zagotavljanje interoperabilnosti med storitvami
Ta del podaja smernice za:
• razvrstitev OMTS
• funkcionalno razčlenitveno strukturiranje
• sistemsko razčlenitveno strukturiranje
• formalno specifikacijo OMTS
Ta del se uporablja za vse vrste vlakov, npr. odprte vlake, vlake z več enotami in zaprte vlake.
OPOMBA: Splošna arhitektura zagotavlja skupno podlago za kategorije uporabe, opredeljene v 2. delu, in morebitne prihodnje dele te skupine standardov. Zato je pristop enoten za vse multimedijske in telematske podsisteme, ki so obravnavani v tej skupini standardov.

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 preparatory work. International, governmental and non-
governmental organizations liaising with the IEC also participate in this preparation. IEC collaborates closely
with the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) in accordance with conditions determined by
agreement between the two organizations.
2) The formal decisions or agreements of IEC on technical matters express, as nearly as possible, an international
consensus of opinion on the relevant subjects since each technical committee has representation from all
interested IEC National Committees.
3) IEC Publications have the form of recommendations for international use and are accepted by IEC National
Committees in that sense. While all reasonable efforts are made to ensure that the technical content of IEC
Publications is accurate, IEC cannot be held responsible for the way in which they are used or for any
misinterpretation by any end user.
4) In order to promote international uniformity, IEC National Committees undertake to apply IEC Publications
transparently to the maximum extent possible in their national and regional publications. Any divergence
between any IEC Publication and the corresponding national or regional publication shall be clearly indicated in
the latter.
5) IEC itself does not provide any attestation of conformity. Independent certification bodies provide conformity
assessment services and, in some areas, access to IEC marks of conformity. IEC is not responsible for any
services carried out by independent certification bodies.
6) All users should ensure that they have the latest edition of this publication.
7) No liability shall attach to IEC or its directors, employees, servants or agents including individual experts and
members of its technical committees and IEC National Committees for any personal injury, property damage or
other damage of any nature whatsoever, whether direct or indirect, or for costs (including legal fees) and
expenses arising out of the publication, use of, or reliance upon, this IEC Publication or any other IEC
Publications.
8) Attention is drawn to the Normative references cited in this publication. Use of the referenced publications is
indispensable for the correct application of this publication.
9) Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this IEC Publication may be the subject of
patent rights. IEC shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.
International Standard IEC 62580-1 has been prepared by IEC technical committee 9:
Electrical equipment and systems for railways.
The text of this standard is based on the following documents:

INTRODUCTION
IEC 62580-1 defines the general architecture of the On-board Multimedia and Telematic
Subsystems (OMTS), so as to achieve compatibility between subsystems in the same vehicle
and between subsystems on-board of different vehicles in the same train.
NOTE 1 The acronym OMTS replaces the previous OMMS (On-board MultiMedia Subsystem) definition, due to a
change in the title of this standard.
The multimedia and telematic system is composed of but not limited to:
A Video surveillance/CCTV
B Driver and crew orientated services
C Passenger orientated services
D Train operator and maintainer orientated services
OMTSs installed in the same vehicle (consist) communicate by means of the consist network.
OMTSs, installed in different vehicle (consist) in the same train, communicate by means of
the train network.
It is likely that each OMTS exchanges information with applications installed on-ground by
means of a wireless communication gateway.
The on-board communication and the on-board to ground communication are specified by the
IEC 61375 series.
NOTE 2 Board-to-ground communication is intended as a generic link, with no assumption on the underlying
technology (radio, satellite or other).
As illustrated in Figure 1, the IEC 62580 series is structured as follows:
IEC 62580-1: General architecture
IEC 62580-2: Video surveillance/CCTV services
Driver and crew orientated services, passenger orientated services and train
operator/maintainer orientated services are matters of standardisation which can be
addressed in the future.

1 Scope
This part of IEC 62580 specifies the general architecture of the On-board Multimedia and
Telematic Subsystem, which includes four categories of multimedia and telematic subsystems
identified as:
A Video surveillance/CCTV
B Driver and crew orientated services
C Passenger orientated services
D Train operator and maintainer orientated services
This part establishes:
• the boundary between the OMTS and the on-board communication system, as described
by the IEC 61375 series
• the methodology to describe an OMTS in terms of abstract model
• the general principles and the basic requirements to specify the services provided/needed
by each category
• the approach to ensure interoperability between services
This part gives guidelines for:
• OMTS classification
• functional breakdown structuring
• system breakdown structuring
• formal specification of an OMTS
This part is applicable to any type of train, e.g. open trains, multiple unit trains and closed
trains.
