Overview
This document provides an introduction to the standard and deals with the main concepts, the system definition, the principles and the basic functions of UGTMSs (Urban Guided Transport Management and Command/Control Systems) for use in urban guided passenger transport lines and networks. This document is applicable for new lines or for upgrading existing signalling and command control systems. This document does not apply to lines operated under specific railway regulations unless specified otherwise by the competent authority. In particular, it does not specifically address security issues. This document is applicable to applications using continuous data transmission and continuous supervision of train movements by train protection profile, as well as to localisation of trains by onboard UGTMS equipment (reporting trains), and optionally by external wayside device.
