MANAGEMENT AND COMMUNICATION OF DATA ON BOARD OF THE VEHICLES OF THE ITALIAN RAILWAY

An accurate measure and display of train speed upon which drivers can base control of the journey is a fundamental prerequisite for safety. This paper provides an overview of the driver information system (DIS) introduced by the Italian Railways to supply an intrinsically safe tachymetry and improve and extend the set of stored signals and knowledge of the operative and exploitation conditions. This will allow for the automatic analysis of the Tachymetric Electronic Zones of the FS-TRENITALIA fleet. The DIS architecture and functionality, data recording and safety capabilities, and communications processes and radio infrastructure are discussed.
