Title: The Train Communication Network In The Trains Of FS Fleet: Optimisation, Integration And Interoperability Of Railway Functionality
Abstract: This paper describes the research, testing, commissioning, and conformance assessment activities carried out by the Italian Railway to introduce a Train Communication Network (TCN) in the railroad vehicles of its fleet. The TCN can be considered as a train infrastructure capable of configuring itself automatically and connecting, through common interfaces, to all the onboard electronic equipment. The TCN transfers a great deal of data along the train, both in cyclical and sporadic modes, allowing realization of new applications and improvement of existing ones.
