After two years the members of CEN will be requested to submit theircomments, particularly on the quest
9、ion whether the ENV can be converted into a European Standard.CEN members are required to announce the existence of this ENV in the same way as for an EN and to make the ENV available promptlyat national level in an appropriate form. It is permissible to keep conflicting national standards in force
10、(in parallel to the ENV) until the finaldecision about the possible conversion of the ENV into an EN is reached.CEN members are the national standards bodies of Austria, Belgium, Czech Republic, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Greece,Iceland, Ireland, Italy, Luxembourg, Netherlands, Norway, Portu

18、ic road transport (buses and tramways) at different points (mainly stop points).SANS 53998:2008This s tandard may only be used and printed by approved subscription and freemailing clients of the SABS .Page 4ENV 13998:20011 SCOPEThe passenger information Variable Message Sign (VMS) in this standard i
19、s definedas the non-interactive dynamic man machine interface between a Vehicle Schedulingand Control System, usually including an Automatic Vehicle Monitoring (AVM)system, and the passenger at a stop point or other location. This interface is basicallyvisual. It may also incorporate an audio commun
20、icator to give audio information ondemand for visually impaired users.This standard covers information content, presentation and location.The audio information presentation is not part of this standard. The standard doesnot cover interactive information devices and does not specify display technolog
21、y.The VMS receives the necessary information through transmission means that arenot defined in this standard.SANS 53998:2008This s tandard may only be used and printed by approved subscription and freemailing clients of the SABS .Page 5ENV 13998:20012 NORMATIVE REFERENCESThis European Prestandard in

30、d subscription and freemailing clients of the SABS .Page 8ENV 13998:20014 LOCATION4.1 GeneralA passenger information VMS should be placed at a location on, or adjacent to, thebus route so that intending passengers can view information concerning the journeythey wish to make. Such places include:Stop
31、 points (at or adjacent to)Terminus pointsTransport interchangesPark and ride terminalsCommercial centresOther areas of high passenger usage4.2 Avoiding obstructionThe location of the passenger information VMS shall be chosen such that:1. it does not disrupt current waiting behaviour, queue formatio
32、n;2. it is not obscured by other passengers;3. it does not form an obstruction to general pedestrian flows.SANS 53998:2008This s tandard may only be used and printed by approved subscription and freemailing clients of the SABS .Page 9ENV 13998:20015 MECHANICAL DESIGN OF THE SIGN5.1 GeneralAs part of
33、 the “street furniture“, the passenger information VMS shall be designedand manufactured with sufficient robustness for protection against vandalism. It maybe fixed to bus shelters or other structures.The equipment shall be capable of operating to recognised environmental standardsof at least IP 54
34、with the appropriate certificate of compliance.5.2 Method of fixingMechanical fixing guidelines shall be issued to manufacturers of the structures towhich a passenger information VMS is to be attached. These guidelines shall ensureeasy disconnection and access for maintenance purposes. Materials for
35、 these fixingsshall afford substantial protection against vandalism.5.3 SizeThe size and design of the housing shall be designed to blend in with any associatedon-street structure, and shall not present any safety hazards to the public wheninstalled. In some locations, the physical size of the passe
36、nger information VMS maybe critical, especially where street furniture with restricted headroom is used.National safety standards shall be complied with.5.4 Environmental conditionsThe equipment shall comply with national environmental standards.SANS 53998:2008This s tandard may only be used and pri

39、iling clients of the SABS .Page 11ENV 13998:20017 TYPES OF VMSThe types of VMS are grouped in the following classes:1. Class 1: Text based2. Class 2: String of pearls3. Class 3: Graphic / mimic7.1 Class 1: Text based7.1.1 Mandatory information1. Route number2. End destination if more than one for th
40、e considered line3. Number of minutes to arrival (if more than 60 min, an indication in hours-minutes is acceptable) or clock time of arrival to the stop point to which theVMS refers. If this information is theoretical schedule information instead ofreal time, this shall be indicated specifically;4.
41、 Vehicle approaching , indication corresponding to the situation where thevehicle is too close to the stop point to allow to display a sufficiently accuratenumeric information (a symbolic presentation is preferred and, in that case, itshould be a square preferably blinking ). If the system cannot di
42、fferentiateapproaching, at stop or just departed vehicle, the same indication shall bedisplayed;5. When there is no vehicle information to be displayed (it could be, for example,during night when there is no Public transport service), the VMS shall displaya positive indication that it is still worki
43、ng (for example: no bus service );6. If there is a disruption of the data link providing real time information to theVMS, if there exists a valid time table in the VMS then this information shallbe displayed with the specific indication mentioned above, if there is no validtime table information the
44、n the display shall reverse to a backup indicationwhich can be blank or a special message indicating the faulty situation;7. If the public transport to a specific stop is interrupted or blocked for anyreason (accident, etc), the display of the arrival time shall be blanked orreplaced by a textual in
45、dication (like “accident” for example)7.1.2 Optional (recommended) information1. Order of arrival2. Operator identity3. Via intermediate destination, remarkable station or any information helpingthe clear identification of the route4. Stop point location (when the VMS is located away from the stop p
46、oint)5. Real-time free-form text messages6. Length of train (in case of tramways or light rail systems)7. Last service indication8.

48、e top line.in column format: in order of bus arrival, the first arrival shall be in theleft-hand column.For mandatory information, a line representation is recommended with the routeidentification on the left, then the destination and then the waiting time or time ofarrival.If waiting times are used
49、 the information shall be presented in minutes. Theabbreviations for minutes shall be “min” as specified in ISO 31-1.7.1.4 Alternating rates of mandatory informationThis refers to the alternate display of different information on the same line of theVMS.It is not recommended to alternate between more than 4 different informationmessages,The length of time a frame is held before scrolling or changing to another subset ofthe core bus information shall be:at least 8 seconds for one line of displayat least 8 seconds for two lines of displayat least 10 seconds for three lin
