Overview
EN 16186-8:2022/FprA1 - “Railway applications - Driver’s cab - Part 8: Tram vehicle layout and access” (CEN) defines design rules and assessment methods to ensure safe, ergonomic and accessible driver's cabs for tram vehicles. The standard bases cab dimensions on anthropometric data from EN 16186-5 and covers layout, access, seating, lighting, emergency exits, and marking/labeling for tram network vehicles.
Key topics and technical requirements
- Dimension and interior layout
- Cab layout and clearances are specified using anthropometric data from EN 16186-5.
- Assessment methods for checking compliance are included in the document.
- Door access, steps and floor characteristics
- Minimum step width: 300 mm.
- Minimum step depth: 80 mm.
- Free space over steps: depth at least 150 mm; minimum height normally 150 mm but not less than 120 mm; height may decrease to 80 mm at a depth of 150 mm (figure references in the standard).
- Requirements address consistent step geometry, handrails and floor surface attributes for safe ingress/egress.
- Seats dimension and leg clearance
- Leg clearance width: minimum 500 mm, recommended 600 mm or greater.
- Seat dimensions and clearances follow ergonomic principles for driver reach and comfort.
- Interior cab lighting
- Lighting requirements for task and ambient illumination to support visibility of controls, instruments and external environment.
- Emergency exit
- Prescribed provisions for emergency egress routes and means of escape from the cab.
- Marking and labelling
- Requirements for durable, visible labels and markings for controls, emergency features and safety instructions.
- Glazing and mechanical characteristics
- External glazing to comply with EN 15152 or ECE 43R; internal glazing to comply with EN 17530.
- Notes on windscreen design reference CEN/TR 17420 (being revised to EN 17420).
Applications and who uses it
- Target users:
- Rolling stock designers and manufacturers (tram/light-rail vehicles)
- Human factors and ergonomics engineers
- Safety and certification bodies, fleet owners and operators
- Infrastructure and accessibility planners
- Practical uses:
- Design and verification of driver’s cab layouts to meet safety, accessibility and comfort targets
- Specification of cab components (steps, seats, glazing, lighting)
- Regulatory compliance checks and acceptance testing of new trams
