IEC 62290-3:2019 specifies the system architecture for Urban Guided Transport Management and Command/Control systems (UGTMS) as defined in IEC 62290-1 and IEC 62290-2, and the allocation of functions and requirements defined in IEC 62290-2 to the different UGTMS subsystems (designated as system constituents in IEC 62290-1 and IEC 62290-2), for use in urban guided passenger transport lines and networks. This document is applicable for new lines or for upgrading existing signalling and command control systems.

This document is applicable to applications using:

- continuous data transmission

- continuous supervision of train movements by train protection profile

- localisation by reporting trains, and optionally by external wayside equipment for non-reporting ones (e.g. in case of mixed operation or degraded operation)

This document is applicable as a basis to define FIS and FFFIS. For specific applications, some elements may be added to meet the requirements coming from additional functions or equipment.
