TLS: Technische Lieferbedingungen für Streckenstationen / Technical Specifications for Outstations
Basic idea of the TLS: to define functional groups for roadside equipment, to standardise the interfaces and communication protocols, to create a common data modelling, to make the equipment of different suppliers compatible, to define, test and make performances comparable and to allow open and clear tendering and system operation.
Interface between Outstations and TCCs.
