A <radioBlockCentre> is a control unit communicating with the trains via radio. It is used in conjunction with one or more <signalBox> to supervise train traffic, ensure its safety and give commands to the trains concerning permissible speeds and stopping points when running in ETCS level 2 or 3. The following attributes and elements are available for a radio block centre (RBC):
- <etcs> - The sub-element provides some basic information about the ETCS parameters of the RBC. These are the following:
- @nidCountry – This is the representation of NID_C from UNISIG. It is the identification number of the country or region: Code used to identify the country or region in which the balise group, the RBC or the RIU is situated. These need not necessarily follow administrative or political boundaries.
- @nidRadio – This is the representation of NID_RADIO from UNISIG. It is the radio subscriber number: Quoted as a 16 digit decimal number. The number is to be entered “left adjusted,” starting with the first digit to be dialled. Padding by the special value F shall be added after the least significant digit of the number. For further information about NID_RADIO, refer to SUBSET-054.
- @nidRadioNetwork – This is the representation of NID_MN from UNISIG. The Radio Network identity: The NID_MN identifies the GSM-R network the mobile calling station has to register with. The NID_MN consists of up to 6 digits which are entered left adjusted into the data field; the leftmost digit is the digit to be dialled first. In case the NID_MN is shorter than six digits, the remaining space is to be filled with the special character “F”. For further information about NID_MN, refer to Subset-054.
- @nidRBC – This is the representation of NID_RBC from UNISIG. It is the RBC ETCS identity number: This variable provides the identity of the RBC belonging to NID_C. The RBC ETCS identity is given by NID_C + NID_RBC.
- @version – This is the version string of the ETCS version supported by this RBC.
- <isLimitedByRbcBorder> - Each element is a reference to an element in <functionalInfrastructure> defining the borders of the RBC.
- <containedTrackAssets> - Each element is a reference to each track asset from the list of all track assets in <assetsForInterlocking> known to the RBC.
- <hasCommands> - This is a list of commands, which are available for operation of the RBC.
- <hasIndications> - This is a list of indications available on the HMI for indicating several status of the RBC.
- <connectedSignalbox> - This is a list of references to <signalBox> elements, which are in direct communication to this RBC.
