Presentation Transcript
RTVISC Working Group 9 Update and Status
WG Mission • Define and catalog data elements and data structures for data communications within and between passenger rail basic operating units (BOU) and between trains and the wayside.
Current Focus • Definition and cataloging of data elements for BOU interoperability. • Data elements and data structures are based on those defined in UIC 556 for TCN WTB (IEEE 1473-T train network). • Data elements defined by WG9 will be used by LonMark Transportation Group in defining functional profiles and SNVTs.
Current Status • Third internal draft of IEEE P1544 is in development. • Relevant sections of UIC 556 are either referred to or duplicated (with extensions in some cases); this requires consent of UIC. • Draft will be released as P1544/D1 and distributed by 2/5/2002. • Next meeting to review P1544 scheduled for 2/25/2002. • Revised PAR needs to be submitted.
Coordination Requirements • WG3- UIC 556 defines certain mechanisms for diagnostics; this needs to be coordinated with WG3. • LonMark- First joint meeting held with LonMark on 1/8/2002 at Echelon in San Jose. • TWC working group.
