Information transmission in the train (train bus)

Summary This leaflet defines the requirements for data transmission equipment on RIC coaches. The requirements may also be applied to other coaches, driving trailers, traction vehicles and multiple units. The purpose of this leaflet is to:

• fully document the requirements of all users, align them and set them out in standard form,
• provide guidelines for the technical solution adopted for the train bus and the physical characteristics of the transmission cable,
• Lay down and specify the details of the requirements of the various UIC Committes as listed in Appendix See List of information to be transmitted (Version 002.03, valid from 01.03.2009).

Concrete train bus applications for certain functionalities are not dealt with in UIC Leaflet 556 . They are contained in other leaflets administered by the UIC bodies responsible for the respective vehicle components.
