(Main)Railway applications - Line categories for managing the interface between load limits of vehicles and infrastructure
Railway applications - Line categories for managing the interface between load limits of vehicles and infrastructure
This European Standard describes methods of classification of existing and new railway lines and the categorisation of vehicles. The standard specifies the technical requirements for ensuring the compatibility of the interface between vehicle and infrastructure. The standard is suitable for use on freight, passenger and mixed traffic lines and contains requirements relevant to:
- classification of the vertical load carrying capacity of railway infrastructure;
- design of railway vehicles;
- determination of payload limits of freight wagons.
A summary of the classification of infrastructure and categorisation of vehicles is given in Annex B.
The assessment of the vertical load carrying capacity of civil engineering structures, track, sub-grade and earthworks by the use of the load models defined in Annex A permits the classification of infrastructure into line categories.
This European Standard identifies on which lines vehicles are compatible to the infrastructure under normal operation conditions without further checks regarding vertical load effects.
The methodology described in this European Standard is not valid for high speed rail traffic. Tilting traffic and the working of rail mounted plant and cranes etc. are also outside the scope of this European Standard. This European Standard does not cover the system used in Great Britain, where all lines and vehicles are to be classified in accordance with the RA (Route Availability) System. A guide to the equivalent categories in accordance with this European Standard is given in Annex C.
This European Standard does not cover requirements relating to the maximum total mass or maximum length of a train.
The requirements of this European Standard do not replace regulations relating to e.g. dynamic wheel/rail contact force limits, vehicle ride considerations, vehicle structural design limitations etc.
Bahnanwendungen - Klasseneinteilung der Strecken - Zugehörige Lastgrenzen für Schienenfahrzeuge und Nutzlast für Güterwagen
Diese europäische Norm beschreibt Klassifizierungsverfahren bestehender und neuer Eisenbahnstrecken und
die Einstufung von Fahrzeugen. Die Norm gibt die technischen Anforderungen an, um die Kompatibilität der
Schnittstelle zwischen Fahrzeug und Infrastruktur sicherzustellen. Die Norm ist für den Gebrauch auf Güter-,
Personen- und für Mischverkehrsstrecken geeignet und beinhaltet Vorgaben, die relevant für
⎯ die Klasseneinteilung der vertikalen Tragfähigkeit der Eisenbahninfrastruktur;
⎯ die Konstruktion von Schienenfahrzeugen;
⎯ die Bestimmung der Nutzlastgrenzen von Güterwagen
sind.
Im Anhang B wird ein Überblick über die Klasseneinteilung der Infrastruktur und der Einstufung der Fahrzeuge
gegeben.
Die Bewertung der vertikalen Tragfähigkeit von Ingenieurbauwerken, Oberbau und Unterbau und Erdbauwerken
unter Verwendung der in Anhang A definierten Lastmodelle ermöglicht die Klasseneinteilung der
Infrastruktur in Streckenklassen.
Diese europäische Norm bestimmt, auf welchen Strecken Fahrzeuge im Regelbetriebszustand ohne weitere
Tests hinsichtlich vertikaler Lasteffekte kompatibel zur Infrastruktur sind.
Die in dieser Norm beschriebene Methodik gilt nicht für den Hochgeschwindigkeitseisenbahnverkehr. Neigetechnik-
Verkehr und der Arbeitsbetrieb von schienengebundenen Maschinen und Kränen usw. gehören auch
nicht zum Anwendungsbereich dieser Norm. Diese europäische Norm umfasst nicht das in Großbritannien
verwendete System, wo alle Strecken und Fahrzeuge nach dem RA-System (Route Availability) eingeteilt
werden. Eine Anleitung zu den äquivalenten Klassen nach dieser Norm wird in Anhang C gegeben.
Diese Norm deckt nicht Anforderungen in Bezug auf maximale Gesamtmasse oder maximaler Zuglänge ab.
Die Erfordernisse dieser europäischen Norm ersetzen nicht Bestimmungen in Hinblick auf zum Beispiel
dynamische Rad/Schiene Grenzkontaktkräfte, Fahrzeugfahrverhalten, fahrzeugspezifische Grenztragfähigkeitsbemessung
usw.
Applications ferroviaires - Catégories de ligne pour la gestion des interfaces entre limites de charges des véhicules et de l'infrastructure
La présente Norme Européenne décrit les méthodes de classification des lignes de chemins de fer existantes et nouvelles ainsi que la catégorisation des véhicules. La norme spécifie les exigences techniques pour assurer la compatibilité de l’interface entre les véhicules et l'infrastructure. La norme est adaptée à l’utilisation sur les lignes « fret », « voyageur » et à trafic mixte et contient des exigences relatives à :
la classification de la capacité de charge portante verticale d’une infrastructure ferroviaire,
la conception des véhicules ferroviaires,
la détermination des limites de charge utile des wagons de fret.
Un résumé de la classification des infrastructures et de la catégorisation des véhicules est donné en Annexe B.
L'évaluation de la capacité de charge portante verticale des ouvrages d’art, de la voie, de la sous-couche et des plateformes, par l'utilisation de modèles de charge définis dans l'annexe A, permet la classification de l'infrastructure en catégories de ligne.
La présente Norme Européenne identifie sur quelles lignes les véhicules sont compatibles avec l'infrastructure, dans des conditions d’exploitation normales, sans contrôles supplémentaires en rapport avec l’influence des charges verticales.
La méthodologie décrite dans la présente Norme Européenne ne s’applique pas au trafic ferroviaire à grande vitesse. L’exploitation de trains pendulaires, le fonctionnement des plates formes montées sur rail ou des grues, etc. sont également hors du domaine d’application de la présente Norme. La présente Norme Européenne ne couvre pas le système utilisé en Grande-Bretagne où toutes les lignes et tous les véhicules doivent être classés en conformité avec le RA (Route Availability) System. Un guide d’équivalence de ces classes par rapport à cette Norme Européenne est fourni en annexe C.
La présente Norme ne traite pas des exigences relatives à la masse totale maximale, ou à la longueur maximale d’un train.
