What is BS EN 61375-1 -A rchitecture for train communication network (TCN) about?

BS EN 61375 is a European standard that discusses train communication networks (TCN) for electronic railway equipment. BS EN 61375-1 is the first part of a multi-part series that applies to the architecture of data communication systems in open trains, I.e., it covers the architecture of a communication system for the data communication between vehicles of the said open trains, the data communication within the vehicles, and the data communication from the train to the ground to minimize hazards in case of emergencies. The applicability of BS EN 61375-1 to the train network technologies allows for interoperability of individual vehicles within open trains in international traffic. The data communication systems inside vehicles are given as recommended solutions to cope with the said TCN. In any case, proof of compatibility between a proposed train backbone and a proposed consist network will have to be brought by the supplier. BS EN 61375-1 may additionally, apply to closed trains and multiple-unit trains when so agreed between purchaser and supplier.
