According to the CEN/CENELEC Internal Regulations, the national standards organizations of the following
18、 countries are bound to announce this Technical Specification: Austria, Belgium, Bulgaria, Cyprus, Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Iceland, Ireland, Italy, Latvia, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Malta, Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Romania, Slovakia, Slo
19、venia, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland and United Kingdom. CEN/TS 15504:20074 Introduction This specification outlines the requirements for electronic Interior Variable Message Signs (IVMS) for the presentation of dynamic passenger information in public transport vehicles, like e.g. buses, trams, trolley
20、buses. CEN/TS 15504:20075 1 Scope This standard applies to different IVMS systems mounted in public transport vehicles, like e.g. buses, tramways, trolleybuses, and specifies the installation location, dimensions, characteristics of the sign system, information contents and cabling. At present there
21、 are several technologies for these kinds of IVMS (e.g. LCD, LED, VFD etc.). 2 Normative references Not applicable. 3 Terms and definitions For the purposes of this document, the following terms and definitions apply. 3.1 Automatic Vehicle Monitoring System enables actualisation of the vehicle route
22、 to be displayed on the IVMS should any change in route occur during the ride 3.2 Interior Variable Message Signs indicator with a sign panel mounted in long-distance and short-distance vehicles indicating the planned vehicle route 3.3 Internal stop sign indicator with a sign panel indicating the na
23、me of the next stop. 3.4 On-board transmission bus enables the control of IVMS by the board controller of the Vehicle Board Information and Control System (VBICS). 3.5 Precise time and tariff zone sign indicator with a sign panel indicating the course of the route, the actual stop, perhaps also the
24、line number, interchange facilities etc. of the actual route. 3.6 Route sign indicator with a sign panel indicating informing of the course of the route, the actual stop, perhaps also the line number, interchange facilities etc. of the actual route. 4 Abbreviations In this document the following abb
25、reviations are used: 4.1 AVMS Automatic Vehicle Monitoring System CEN/TS 15504:20076 4.2 IVMS Interior Variable Message Sign 4.3 VBICS Vehicle Board Information and Control System 5 Requirements 5.1 General The sign technology is not to be standardised in this document. Each system should, independe
26、ntly of the number of passengers, guarantee good visibility and legibility. The visible sign space shall be placed vertically or inclined towards the passenger seats. The sign system shall be adapted to the characteristics of the vehicle and it should be possible to integrate them optimally in the p
27、assenger compartment. The sign elements are to be protected against vandalism, e.g. by non-reflecting glass. 5.2 Installation location of the signs 5.2.1 Next stop IVMS The next stop IVMS should be fitted as high up as possible in the vehicle as a hanging device or a built-in device depending on the
28、 seat arrangement of the vehicle. If the seats are fitted in and against the running direction, the signs should be mounted in the front and in the rear of the vehicle. In case of articulated vehicles, signs are to be provided in each vehicle part. The sign must be fixed high enough to enable safe p
29、assage of passengers. 5.2.2 Route IVMS Depending on the characteristics of the vehicle, the route sign should be fitted laterally above the window either vertically or inclined; installation locations opposite the boarding areas are preferred. Double-sided signs should be fitted at the window next t
30、o the middle-boarding door. 5.2.3 Precise time and tariff zone IVMS The internal stop sign should be fitted as high up as possible as a hanging device or a built-in device depending on the seat arrangement of the vehicle. If the seats are fitted in and against the running direction, the signs should
31、 be mounted in the front and rear of the vehicle. In case of articulated vehicles, signs are to be provided in each vehicle part. 5.3 IVMS information content 5.3.1 Next stop IVMS The next stop IVMS shall indicate the name of the next stop. If possible, additional information such as the line number
32、, route terminus, actual time and date etc. should be displayed. The sign acknowledging the passengers stop request should either appear in a separate field or in the sign itself. If additional information, like actual traffic messages, information on connecting lines, advertisements etc., is requir
33、ed on the sign, then additional sign spaces or alternating messages are allowed. CEN/TS 15504:20077 The example of this type of the sign is shown in Figures A.1 and A.2 NOTE This additional Information can be depicted statically clocked or by a moving text, depending on the sign technology. 5.3.2 Ro
34、ute IVMS The route IVMS shall indicate the route of the vehicle. It should be designed so that the actual stop names, terminus and line number can be shown. It can also include information on interchange facilities and about the next stop. By the design of the sign, attention should be paid to a cle
35、ar division of information. Additional inscriptions or markings should be made above the corresponding sign fields. An example of this type of sign is shown in Figure A.4. The double sided route IVMS fitted at the window next to the middle boarding door shall inform the route of the vehicle on the i
36、nterior side and on the exterior side about the route number, terminus name and next stop name. 5.3.3 Precise time and tariff zone IVMS The precise time and tariff zone IVMS shall inform passengers as to the precise time and actual tariff zone if they are used. An example of this type of sign is sho
37、wn in Figure:A.3. 5.4 Fonts 5.4.1 General The characters shall be depicted in the matrix of pixels. The number of lines and columns of the character matrix must be selected depending on the sign technology and national language alphabet. An imitation of the type of Helvetica is to be preferred for t
38、he graphic representation of the character. The seven-segment display may be used for depicting numbers. The information may be shown in one or several lines. In order to obtain better legibility, large and small writing is to be applied. It shall be possible to depict all the capitals and small let
39、ters of the respective national language. The sign shall have space for the display of at least 16 characters for the stop names. NOTE The minimum matrix of the pixels for the character is 7 lines and 5 columns. This minimum matrix is not usable for all national languages. The matrix 9 lines and 7 c
40、olumns is sufficient for most national languages. 5.4.2 Colours The colour of the depiction shall be determined in the operators technical specifications. NOTE The colour of the sign elements generally depends on the sign technology applied. 5.4.3 Character height The character height depends on the
41、 maximum resolution of the character. The minimum character height is 40 mm for Next stop IVMS and 8 mm for the Route IVMS. CEN/TS 15504:20078 5.4.4 Graphic No specific standards are defined for non-text aspects of this class of signs. 5.5 Refresh rates of core information The length of time a frame
42、 is held before scrolling or changing to another subset of the core bus information shall be: at least 8 seconds for one and two lines of display; at least 10 seconds for three lines of display; at least 12 seconds for four lines of display; at least 20 seconds for five lines of display. Individual
43、items of information changing during a frame can be updated within that frame. 5.6 Horizontal scrolling Text messages which scroll horizontally shall not run faster than a rate of six characters per second. 5.7 Dimensions The following need of IVMS area is independent of the sign technology applied.
44、 5.7.1 Next stop IVMS: minimum: 500 mm length 60 mm height 30 mm depth maximum: 1400 mm length 200 mm height 120 mm depth 5.7.2 Route IVMS: minimum: 1200 mm length 200 mm height 60 mm depth maximum: 1600 mm length 400 mm height 250 mm depth CEN/TS 15504:20079 5.7.3 Precise time and tariff zone IVMS:
45、 minimum: 350 mm length 130 mm height 28 mm depth maximum: 400 mm length 170 mm height 60 mm depth NOTE These dimensions are only valid for one-sided signs. In case of double-sided signs the need of area increases correspondingly. In order to allow maximum flexibility in the choice of the sign, it i
46、s recommended that the body manufacturers provide the largest space possible, subject to the above mentioned specifications. 5.8 Electric connections If a European standard exists for an on-board transmission bus for public transport road vehicles and is implemented in the vehicle, then the sign sha
47、ll be either directly connected to this bus or connected to this bus through a special control unit. The type of the input-output connector of the IVMS should meet the requirements of the used on-board transmission bus. 5.9 Environmental conditions The IVMS shall comply with national environmental s
48、tandards. 5.10 Sign mounting It should be easy to mount, exchange and maintain the display. In the base of built-in devices, corresponding anti-glare covers are to be provided on the signs themselves or on the vehicle. The visibility cut-out of the anti-glare cover shall be at least as large as the
49、sign space. In case of hanging devices, corresponding mounting points and cable penetrations are to be provided. CEN/TS 15504:200710 Annex A (informative) Examples of display layout information A.1 Next stop IVMS Figure A.1 shows an example of display on the next stop IVMS. The name of the next stop alternates with the name of the terminus. The arrow is the “next stop“ sign, “133“ is the route number and “Piccadilly Circus“ is the next stop. Figure A.1 Example 1 of display on the Next stop IVMS Figure A.2. shows another example. The name of the terminus st
