What is PD CLC/TR 50542-1 - General architecture for driver's cab train display controller (TDC) about?
PD CLC/TR 50542-1 is the first part of the PD CLC/TR 50542 series of standards that describes the Train Display System (TDS) in the driver’s cab, and the link between the TDS/TDC and some of its interfaces.
The scope of PD CLC/TR 50542-1 is to define the functional architecture around the TDC.
Note: PD CLC/TR 50542-1 excludes the following items:
- Communication protocols (e.g., EN 61375 series)
- Ergonomic aspects
- Interface with ETCS (Subset 121)
- Train functions
- GSM-R EIRENE functions
- Use of the displays as terminals for maintenance purpose
Who is PD CLC/TR 50542-1 - General architecture for driver's cab train display controller (TDC) for?
PD CLC/TR 50542-1 on general architecture for driver's cab train display controller (TDC) is useful for:
- Railway engineer
- Train operator
- Technical department or railway
- Train display controller manufacturers
- Railway authority
Why should you use PD CLC/TR 50542-1 - General architecture for driver's cab train display controller (TDC)?
Train display controller is involved creating a comfortable, controlled environment with great internal and external visibility and a logical desk layout that allows drivers to remain focused, carry out their day-to-day tasks intuitively and with the minimum of effort and respond quickly to unexpected events.
PD CLC/TR 50542-1 specifies the general architecture for driver's cab train display controller (TDC) that helps to provide on board real-time information (Display as well as voice guidance) to Loco Pilot regarding. The purpose of PD CLC/TR 50542-1 is to propose harmonization for communication between the displays on the driver's desk and the train on board systems.
PD CLC/TR 50542-1 describes the safety and the reliability of Train Display System (TDS) hardware which ensures the safety of the passengers.
What is changed since the last update?
PD CLC/TR 50542-1:2018 supersedes PD CLC/TR 50542‑1:2014, which is withdrawn.
PD CLC/TR 50542-1:2018 includes some technical changes with respect to PD CLC/TR 50542‑1:2014. These include:
- The Scope has been shortened and synthetized
- Some terms, definitions and missing abbreviations have been added
- For consistency with CLC/TR 50542-2:2016 and CLC/TR 50542-3:2016, missing functions have been added and the definition of functions have been improved to be consistent
- Delays and failure modes have been deleted because they depend on the technical implementation of the system
- Certification/validation section has been adapted
- Informative Annex A has been adapted to be consistent with CLC/TR 50542-2:2016 and CLC/TR 50542-3:2016
