Abstract: Performance and functional requirements for a munications-based train controlcontrol system utilizing high-resolution train location determination independent of track circuits; (CBTC) system are established in this standard. A CBTC system is a continuous automatic trainwayside processors capable of implementing automatic train protection (ATP) functions as well as optional automatic train operation (ATO) and automatic train supervision (ATS) functions. Inaddition to CBTC functional requirements this standard also defines headway criteria system safety criteria and system availability criteria for a CBTC system. This standard is applicable to thefullrange of transit applications including automated people movers.

IEEE Standards documents are developed within the IEEE Societies and the Standards CoordinatingCommittes of the IEEE Standards Association (IEEE-SA) Standarnds Board. The IEEE develops its standards through a consensus development process approved by the American National Standards Institute which bringstogether vteers represeting varid viewpoints and intests t achve th finl prdut. Volts are t necessarily members of the Institute and serve without pensation. While the IEEE administers the processand establishes rules to promote faimes in the consensus development proces the IEEE does not independently evaluate test or verify the accuracy of any of the information contained in its standards.
Use of an IEEE Standard is wholly voluntary. The IEE disclaims liability for any pesonal injury property orther dge f any ate whtser whthr secial dit nsqutial nsatory dirly np peps o ue o s udn oo go sn uoeqnd a Susa au

The existence of an IEEE Standard does not imply that there are no other ways to produce test measure pur- chase market or provide other goods and sevices related to the sope of the IEEE Stadard. Furthermore theviewpont xped at the tie a staard is approved and isud is sujet to change brought bot thoughdevelopments in the state of the art and ments received from users of the standard. Every IEEE Standard is subjected to review at least every five years for revisin or reaffimation. When a document is more than fiveyears old andhas n een reaffd it is resable tcle that its cotents althuh stillf me d not wolly refltthe pet state fthe at.

Interpretations: Occasionally questions may arise regarding the meaning of portions of standards as they relate to specific applications. When the need for interpretations is brought to the attention of IEEE the Institute willinitiateaction to prepare appropriate respones Since IEEE Stadards represent a consnsus of concered interests it is s ss o q jo au pa ose s ue p anua uoreason IEE and the mmbrs fissietie andStadards Cordinating Commitees are nt able to prvide n instant response to interpretation requests except in those cases where the matter has previously received formalconsideratin. At lectures symposia seminars or educational courses an individual presenting infomation n IEEE standards shall make it clearthat his or her views should be considered the personal views of that individualrather than the formal position explanation or interpretation of the IEEE.
Comments for revison of IEEE Standards are wele from any interested party regardless of membershipaffliation with IEEE. Suggestions for changes in documents should be in the form of a proposed change of text together with appropriate supporting ments.
