20、007 (E) 5 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 are several tec
21、hnologies 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 to be displayed
22、 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 name of the next s
23、top. 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 line number, int
24、erchange 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 abbreviations are u

26、ents 5.1 General The sign technology is not to be standardised in this document. Each system should, independently 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 b
27、e adapted to the characteristics of the vehicle and it should be possible to integrate them optimally in the passenger 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 sh
28、ould be fitted as high up as possible in the vehicle 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 be mounted in the front and in the rear of the vehicle. In case of articulate
29、d vehicles, signs are to be provided in each vehicle part. The sign must be fixed high enough to enable safe passage 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
30、 locations opposite the boarding areas are preferred. Double-sided signs should be fitted at the window next to 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 s
31、eat arrangement of the vehicle. If the seats are fitted in and against the running direction, the signs should 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 s
32、top IVMS shall indicate the name of the next stop. If possible, additional information such as the line number, 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 additio
33、nal information, like actual traffic messages, information on connecting lines, advertisements etc., is required on the sign, then additional sign spaces or alternating messages are allowed.

34、f the SABS .CEN/TS 15504:2007 (E) 7 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 Route IVMS The route IVMS shall indicate the route of the vehicle.
35、 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 clear division of information. Additional inscriptions or markings
36、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 interior side and on the exterior side about the route number, te
37、rminus 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 shown in Figure:A.3. 5.4 Fonts 5.4.1 General The characters shall b
38、e 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 the graphic representation of the character. The seven-segment di
39、splay 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 letters of the respective national language. The sign shall have sp
40、ace 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 columns is sufficient for most national languages. 5.4.2 Colours
41、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 maximum resolution of the character. The minimum character heig
42、ht is 40 mm for Next stop IVMS and 8 mm for the Route IVMS.

43、5 Refresh rates of core information The length of time a frame 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 displ
44、ay; at least 20 seconds for five lines of display. Individual 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 ne
45、ed of IVMS area is independent of the sign technology applied. 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 dep

47、mensions 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 is recommended that the body manufacturers provide the largest space possible, subject to the above mentioned spe
48、cifications. 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 shall be either directly connected to this bus or connected to this bus through a special control unit. The type of
49、 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 standards. 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 sign space. In case of hanging devices, corresponding mounting points an
