Standards Development
This International Standard describes framework of infotainment services for public vehicles (PVIS), with the relevant service examples.
It is noted that the markets and industries on infotainment services for vehicles (as known as in-vehicle infotainment services) have been growing rapidly. It is envisioned that a variety of infotainment (or multimedia) devices and services will be newly developed for personal and public vehicles in the future. Such devices include navigations, cameras, speakers, headrest displays, air-conditioners, thermometers and heated seats, and lights.
The IEC TC100 has so far developed a set of standards on Configurable Car infotainment Services (CCIS) with the IEC 63246 series. However, the CCIS standards have been basically designed for personal users, such as car owners. In the meantime, there is also a crucial need to provide a variety of infotainment services for public vehicles (PVIS) such as buses or trains.
PVIS services have different requirements and features from CCIS services. For user type, CCIS is targeted at one or two users (such as car owners), whereas PVIS is for a large number of guests or passengers within the public vehicle. For device type, CCIS deals with the personal devices (property or belonging) in the car, whereas PVIS will be targeted for a variety of public devices that are contained in a public vehicle. Some PVIS services may be provisioned by interworking with the external networks, as shown in the bus information service. For service duration, CCIS usually provides long-term services, whereas PVIS may provide short-term service during which a guest stays in a public vehicle.
From these observations, it is noted that there are many different features and requirements between CCIS and PVIS. Accordingly, there is a need for standardization on PVIS. In particular, PVIS needs to employ a set of agents to effectively manage a large number of users or devices
The PVIS series (IEC 63479) describe infotainment (multimedia) services for terrestrial public vehicles, such as bus, train, or subway. It is not applicable to public vehicles, such as airplanes or ships. For this purpose, the following issues are addressed: 1) identify a variety of functional requirements for the provisioning of PVIS, and 2) design the PVIS framework, based on the identified requirements. The PVIS standard is expected to provide guidelines on PVIS services for a large number of users/devices and to encourage the development of new (enhanced) PVIS services (possibly by interworking with external systems).
The IEC 63479 consists of the following parts:
– Part 1: general,
– Part 2: requirements, and
– Part 3: framework
