Railway applications - Infrastructure - Track alignment design parameters - Urban rail

This document specifies rules and limits for track alignment design parameters, including alignments within switches and crossings. Several of these limits are functions of speed. Alternatively, for a given track alignment, it specifies rules and limits that determine permissible speed with regards to track alignment.
This document applies to urban or suburban rail networks for passenger services not integrated with the national network.
Sections of urban or suburban rail networks integrated in the national rail networks are not covered by this document. They are covered by EN 13803 (or for nominal track gauges smaller than 1 435 mm by national alignment rules).
For the purpose of this document, urban or suburban rail networks include:
-   Networks designed for own right of way and segregated from general road and pedestrian traffic,
and
-   Networks (partly) not segregated from general road and pedestrian traffic, with shared lanes.
This document applies to rail systems with steel wheels running on steel vignole or grooved rails. Rail systems with specific construction issues (e.g. rack railways, funicular railways and other types of cable drawn rail systems) are not covered by this document.
This document defines the parameters, rules and limits for nominal track gauges of 1 435 mm and 1 000 mm with permissible speeds up to 120 km/h. For other nominal track gauges, this document defines conversion rules which shall be used to define the limits.

Bahnanwendungen - Infrastruktur - Trassierungsparameter für städtische Schienenbahnen

Diese Europäische Norm legt Regeln und Grenzwerte für die Parameter der Gleistrassierung fest, einschließlich der Trassierung in Weichen und Kreuzungen. Einige dieser Grenzwerte sind Funktionen der Geschwindigkeit. Zugleich legt das Dokument für eine vorhandene Trassierung die Regeln und Grenzwerte fest, die die zulässige Geschwindigkeit bestimmen.
Diese Norm ist anwendbar für Gleisnetze städtischer Schienenbahnen bzw. angeschlossene oder Vorort- Strecken zur Personenbeförderung, die nicht in das nationalen Vollbahnnetz integriert sind.
Abschnitte von städtischen oder Vorort-Schienennetzen, die in die nationalen Vollbahnnetze integriert sind, werden in dieser Norm nicht behandelt. Sie werden durch EN13803 abgedeckt (oder für nominale Spurweiten kleiner als 1435mm durch nationale Trassierungsregeln).
Für die Anwendung dieses Dokuments sind städtische oder Vorort- Schienennetze
- Schienennetze, die mit eigenem Wegerecht getrennt vom allgemeinen Straßen- und Fußgängerverkehr betrieben werden,
und
- Schienennetze die zumindest teilweise nicht vom allgemeinen Straßen- und Fußgängerverkehr getrennt sind und Fahrspuren mit diesem gemeinsam nutzen.
Diese Norm ist anwendbar für Schienensysteme mit Stahlrädern, die auf Vignol- oder Rillenschienen aus Stahl fahren. Schienensysteme mit besonderen baulichen Eigenheiten (z.B. Zahnradbahnen, Standseilbahnen und andere Arten von seilgezogenen Schienensystemen) werden in dieser Norm nicht behandelt.
Diese Europäische Norm nennt die Parameter, und legt Regeln und Grenzwerte für Nennspurweiten von 1435mm und 1000mm mit zulässigen Geschwindigkeiten bis zu 120km/h fest. Für andere Nennspurweiten legt diese Norm Umrechnungsregeln fest, die zur Festlegung der Grenzwerte verwendet werden müssen.

Applications ferroviaires - Infrastructure - Paramètres de conception du tracé de la voie pour le rail urbain

Le présent document spécifie les règles et limites pour les paramètres de tracé de voie, y compris dans les appareils de voie. Plusieurs de ces limites dépendent de la vitesse. En outre, le présent document spécifie les règles et limites qui déterminent la vitesse maximale autorisée pour un tracé de voie spécifique.
Le présent document s'applique aux réseaux ferroviaires urbains ou suburbains destinés au transport de voyageurs, qui ne sont pas intégrés au réseau national.
Le présent document ne couvre pas les tronçons des réseaux ferroviaires urbains ou suburbains qui sont intégrés au réseau national. Ceux-ci sont couverts par l'EN 13803 (ou par les règlements nationaux dans le cas des écartements de voie nominaux inférieurs à 1 435 mm).
Pour les besoins du présent document, les réseaux ferroviaires urbains ou suburbains incluent :
- les réseaux en site propre intégral séparés de la circulation routière et piétonne générale ;
et
- les réseaux (partiellement) en site partagé/banalisé non séparés de la circulation routière et piétonne générale.
Le présent document s'applique aux systèmes ferroviaires équipés de roues en acier circulant sur rails Vignole ou rails à gorge en acier. Les systèmes ferroviaires présentant des problématiques de construction spécifiques (trains à crémaillère, funiculaires et autres types de systèmes ferroviaires tirés par des câbles, par exemple) ne sont pas couverts par le présent document.
Le présent document définit les paramètres, règles et limites applicables aux écartements de voie nominaux de 1 435 mm et de 1 000 mm, où la vitesse maximale de circulation est limitée à 120 km/h. Pour les autres écartements de voie nominaux, le présent document définit les règles de conversion à utiliser pour définir les limites applicables.

Železniške naprave - Infrastruktura - Parametri za načrtovanje trase proge - Mestna železnica

Ta dokument določa pravila in omejitve za parametre pri načrtovanju trase proge, vključno z načrtovanjem na kretnicah in križiščih. Več teh omejitev predstavlja funkcije hitrosti. Za določene parametre pri načrtovanju trase proge pa lahko določa pravila in omejitve, ki določajo dovoljeno hitrost v zvezi z načrtovanjem trase proge.
Dokument se uporablja za mestna oziroma primestna železniška omrežja za potniški promet, ki niso del nacionalnega omrežja.
Mestna oziroma primestna železniška omrežja, ki so del nacionalnega železniškega omrežja, niso zajeta v tem dokumentu. Obravnava jih standard EN 13803 (ali za nazivno tirno širino manj kot 1435 mm v skladu z nacionalni pravili za načrtovanje).
Za namene tega dokumenta mestna oziroma primestna železniška omrežja vključujejo:
–   omrežja, zasnovana za ločeno obratovanje, ki ne zajemajo cestnega prometa in peščev;
in
–   omrežja, ki (delno) zajemajo cestni promet in promet peščev ter z njima souporabljajo proge.
Ta dokument se uporablja za železniške sisteme z jeklenimi kolesi, ki se premikajo po jeklenih Vignolovih tirnicah ali tirnicah z žlebom. Železniški sistemi s posebnimi težavami pri izdelavi (npr. zobate železnice, tirne vzpenjače in druge vrste železniških sistemov, ki potujejo po žičnici) v tem dokumentu niso zajeti.
Ta dokument določa parametre, pravila in omejitve za nazivno tirno širino 1435 mm in 1000 mm z dovoljeno hitrostjo največ 120 km/h. Za druge nazivne širine so v dokumentu opredeljena pravila za pretvorbo, ki jih je treba uporabiti pri določanju omejitev.
