(Main)Railway applications - Driver's cab - Part 6: Integration of displays, controls and indicators for tram vehicles
Railway applications - Driver's cab - Part 6: Integration of displays, controls and indicators for tram vehicles
This document is applicable to vehicles operating on tram networks.
This document gives design requirements and guidance in order to ensure visibility and operability of displays, controls and indicators in the cab in all operating conditions (day, night, natural or artificial lighting).
It covers four aspects:
- the characteristics of the displays, controls and indicators in order to ensure proper visibility: i.e. range of luminance and contrast as well as the possibility of adjustment of perceived brightness;
- the requirements for the location of the displays, keyboards, controls and indicators in the cab and on the driver’s desk: i.e. position, angle of visibility, etc. with consideration of the normal driving position and the working environment (windscreen, natural or artificial lighting in the cab, unwanted glare and reflections, etc.);
- the characteristics and requirements for the location of microphones and loudspeakers;
- design of symbols.
NOTE All element numbers within the text refer to Table B.1.
This document does not apply to refurbishment of existing vehicles. This document is not intended to be applicable to driver's auxiliary desk, except for 5.3.13, Clause 6, 7.1.2, Clause 9 and Table B.1.
Bahnanwendungen - Führerraum - Teil 6: Integration von Displays, Bedien- und Anzeigeelementen bei Straßenbahnfahrzeugen
Dieses Dokument ist für Fahrzeuge anwendbar, die auf Straßenbahnnetzen eingesetzt werden.
Dieses Dokument enthält Konstruktionsanforderungen und Leitlinien, um die Sichtbarkeit und Bedienbarkeit von Displays, Bedien- und Anzeigeelementen im Fahrerraum unter allen Betriebsbedingungen (Tag, Nacht, natürlicher oder künstlicher Lichteinfall) sicherzustellen.
Es behandelt vier Schwerpunkte:
- die Eigenschaften der Displays, Bedien- und Anzeigeelemente zur Erreichung angemessener Sichtbedingungen: d. h. Leuchtdichte- und Kontrastbereich sowie die Möglichkeit, die wahrgenommene Helligkeit zu regulieren;
- die Anforderungen für den Einbauort der Displays, Tastaturen, Bedien- und Anzeigeelemente im Fahrerraum und auf dem Fahrerpult: d. h. Lage, Sichtwinkel usw. unter Berücksichtigung der normalen Sitzposition und der Arbeitsumgebung (Frontscheibe, natürlicher oder künstlicher Lichteinfall im Fahrerraum, unerwünschtes Blendlicht und Spiegelungen usw.);
- die Eigenschaften und Anforderungen für den Einbauort der Mikrofone und Lautsprecher;
- die Gestaltung von Symbolen.
ANMERKUNG Alle Elementnummern im Text beziehen sich auf Tabelle B.1.
Dieses Dokument ist nicht bei einer Modernisierung bestehender Fahrzeuge anwendbar. Dieses Dokument ist nicht für die Anwendung auf Hilfsfahrerstände vorgesehen, mit Ausnahme von 5.3.13, Abschnitt 6, 7.1.2, Abschnitt 9 und Tabelle B.1.
Applications ferroviaires - Cabine de conduite - Partie 6 : Intégration des afficheurs, commandes et indicateurs pour tramways
Le présent document est applicable aux véhicules circulant sur les réseaux tramways.
Le présent document spécifie les exigences et les recommandations de conception permettant de garantir la visibilité et l'opérabilité des afficheurs, commandes et indicateurs dans la cabine dans toutes les conditions d'exploitation (jour, nuit, éclairage naturel ou artificiel).
Il couvre quatre aspects :
- les caractéristiques des afficheurs, commandes et indicateurs pour garantir une visibilité correcte : c'est-à-dire la gamme de luminance et de contraste ainsi que la possibilité de réglage de la luminosité perçue ;
- les exigences concernant les emplacements des afficheurs, claviers, commandes et indicateurs dans la cabine et sur le pupitre de conduite (c'est-à-dire la position, l'angle de visibilité, etc.), compte tenu de la position de conduite normale et de l'environnement de travail (vitre frontale, éclairage naturel ou artificiel dans la cabine, reflets indésirables, etc.) ;
- les caractéristiques et exigences concernant les emplacements des microphones et des haut-parleurs ;
- la conception des symboles.
NOTE Tous les numéros d'éléments cités dans le texte font référence au Tableau B.1.
Le présent document ne s'applique pas à la rénovation de véhicules existants. Le présent document n'est pas destiné à s'appliquer au pupitre auxiliaire de conduite, à l'exception du 5.3.13, de l’Article 6, du 7.1.2, de l’Article 9 et du Tableau B.1.
