Scope
GB/T 45308-2025 is the English-translated version of 轨道交通 机车车辆 网络时间同步技术要求.
China's national standard for network time synchronization on rail transit rolling stock. A modern train is a distributed computer system: traction control, braking, doors, passenger information, CCTV and event recording all run on the train communication network, and every one of them timestamps what it records.
When something goes wrong, the investigation is reconstructed from those timestamps across a dozen devices from different suppliers, and if their clocks disagree by more than the events they are recording, the sequence cannot be established - which is precisely the situation in an incident inquiry.
Synchronization is also functional rather than merely evidential: coordinated actions across cars, and any distributed control, need a common time base.
The standard specifies the technical requirements and performance tests for network time synchronization of rail transit locomotives and vehicles, and applies to train communication network equipment.

3 Terms and definitions
The terms and definitions defined in GB/T 28029.1-2020 and the following apply to this document.
3.1 timereference The standard time is based on Beidou time as the initial time reference and atomic time as the time unit (s).
3.2 timeaccuracy The degree of agreement between a local clock and a time reference measured over a certain time interval.
Note. It is expressed as the absolute value of time deviation.
3.3 Time accuracy localtimeaccuracy The degree of consistency between the local clock and the time reference measured within a specified time interval in the punctual state.
Note. It is expressed as the absolute value of time deviation.
