ICT
Information
Information is the meaning that can be interpreted from a message
or collection of messages.
Information can be recorded or transmitted.
Information is any kind of event that affects the state of a dynamic
system.
Communication
Communication is the activity of conveying meaningful information.
Communication requires a sender, a message, and an intended
recipient.
The communication process is complete once the receiver has
understood the message of the sender.

Railways have information, but …
Data can be ambiguous as it is defined according to specific needs, with no check of consistency with other definitions
Data is in proprietary formats and require specific interpretation
Data is available in local databases, not easy to access to
Interfaces are built on demand, based on specific requirements
Interfacing and data processing costs are high
Data is consumed by specific applications and is normally not available for wider usage
Data hides useful information which is not easy to extract and is often wasted
Information systems cannot be easily upgraded
Current Scenario
The number of Actors in Railways is growing due to
market opening
EC and ERA aim at achieving interoperability within
the European railway network
There is an increasing need for information exchange
in the Railways, between all involved Actors, e.g. to
fulfil TSIs (regulations) or to improve efficiency
Means to handle the complexity of the railway system
and ensure ubiquitous flow and consistency of
information are needed
21 October 2011 Workshop: ICT on Trains 5

Historical Scenario
The first big step was to set up a network on-board
railway vehicles: a Train Communication Network
(TCN)
The need for a TCN arose in the late Seventies, at
first for distributed diagnostic information to the
driver.
The use of electronic devices on board, since the end
of Seventies, was highlighting the necessity for train
drivers and maintenance staff to get quickly the
status of the whole control system and send synthetic
messages and instructions in case of faults.
21 October 2011 Workshop: ICT on Trains 7
The TCN success
Scope and results
to define a complete network for digital communication onboard trains
Developed in strong cooperation with UIC
Finally resulted in standard documents IEC 61375-1 (TCN) and IEC 61375-2 (Conformance
Test)
UIC issued several leaflets to define the communication data UIC556, UIC557, UIC647
An European Project contributed:
Some other ones were launched:
UIC prepared an annex of the UIC556 to set up procedure and laboratories for the TCN/UIC
node homologation.

ROSIN
To accelerate the slowly moving standardisation process, the ROSIN project was started in 1996. The idea was to achieve a wider consensus, showing the benefits which TCN could bring to real on-board applications for passenger trains, freight trains & mass transit.
In addition, locomotives, not included in the original ERRI test, were now included in the test, contributing to the preparation of the UIC 647 leaflet.
ROSIN was able to reach its main goal and in 1999 the TCN reached the status of an International Standard (IEC-61375-1).
It also contributed to the definition and test of the TCN data traffic, as described in leaflet UIC 556. A suitable automated tester was also developed and demonstrated.

TrainCom work
TCN allows linking of devices onboard trains, both in the same vehicle (vehicle bus) or in different vehicles (train bus). However, trains are not isolated systems: they are part of a wider railway system. Radio links (e.g. GSM-R) can allow to establish a connection between trains and ground systems but, again, this needs to be done in a standardised way, to avoid that each application will develop an independent radio link.
Between 2000 & 2003,TRAINCOM defined a general communication infrastructure, which could support at the same time many different applications, like passenger information and maintenance, through an IP-based network. Trains could be now considered as Web servers on the wheels. Cross interoperability of communication devices was demonstrated, as well as real life operation on several trains.
As TCN was now a standard, a conformity test procedure was developed, contributing to a new part of the standard (IEC-61375-2) & developing a complete test platform for TCN.
The project also demonstrated remote control of locomotives linked via TCN, according to the UIC 647 EU remote control leaflet.

EuRoMain
Maintenance applications were only roughly treated in TRAINCOM, due to a budget cut when the project was approved, so no live demonstration was possible.
The TRAINCOM partners decided that, if first results in this field were promising, a specific project could be promoted. Therefore the EUROMAIN project was launched in 2002, defining the elements of a European maintenance system able to handle diagnostic data, technical documentation and the interface with other systems or maintenance operators. An extensive demonstration programme involved trains in different countries.
Through scalable "standard" interfaces, diagnostic data coming both from trains and ground plants can be routed through a number of distributed nodes, combined with relevant technical documentation and delivered to the final destination.
Part of the system specification was included in a standardisation proposal (CENELEC WG B14). EuRoMain activity was concluded in March 2005.

The project included 4 technical elements:
The running gear (MODBOGIE);
The train control architecture (MODCONTROL);
The on-board power system (MODPOWER); and
The man-machine and train-to-train interfaces (MODLINK).
MODTRAIN aimed at the definition and standardisation of the
necessary functional, electrical and mechanical interfaces and
validation procedures to deliver the range of interchangeable
modules, which will form the basis for the next generation of
intercity trains and universal locomotives
Main results, like the FSB (Functional System Breakdown) and the
FIS (Functional Interface Specification) are being standardised
within CEN TC256 and are inputs for CENELEC TC9X WG15

RailEnergy
Integrated research project aimed at reducing the
energy consumption in the entire railway system by
6% until 2020.
The project partners investigated and validated
solutions ranging from the introduction of innovative
traction technologies, components and layouts to the
development of rolling stock, operation and
infrastructure management strategies.
Railenergy results will contribute to the reduction of
life cycle costs of the railway operation and of CO2
emissions.
A UNIFE-UIC TecRec has been issued.

ICOM solves, once for all applications, all problems related to session management, QoS, security, routing, scheduling, mobility, bearer selection, accommodating all available but heterogeneous networks and providing a complete end-to-end communication service.
It can bring essential benefits in train-ground communication and in international contests (railway corridors).

Conclusions
The enlarging amount of information exchange
needed for efficient, interoperable and competitive
operation of railways brings to the need of new ICT
solutions in order to remove bottlenecks and
problems
Many research projects are running or planned in
order to cope with such kind of problems
New standards are in preparation in order to support
the future solutions
All this will contribute to turn the Vision into reality
