Railway applications - Gauges - Part 1: General - Common rules for infrastructure and rolling stock

This European Standard is applicable by authorities involved in railway operation and may also be applied for
light vehicles (e.g. trams, metros, etc. running on two rails) and their associated infrastructure, but not for
systems such as rail-guided buses.
It allows vehicles and infrastructures to be dimensioned and their compliance to be checked relative to the
gauging rules.
For the rolling stock and for the infrastructure, this standard is applicable to new designs, to modifications and
to the checking of vehicles and infrastructures already in use.
Part 1 of this document covers:
- the general principles;
- the various elements and phenomena affecting the determination of gauges;
- the various calculation methods applicable to the elements shared by the infrastructure and by the rolling
stock;
- the sharing rules for elements taken into account in calculations specific to the infrastructure and to the
vehicle;
- a catalogue of European gauges.
This document does not cover:
- conditions to be met to ensure safety of passengers on platforms and of persons walking along the
tracks;
- conditions to be met by the fixed equipment maintenance machines in active position;
- the space to be cleared for the running track of rubber-tyred metros and other vehicles;
- rules applicable to extraordinary transportation, however some formulae may be used;
- rules applicable to the design of the overhead line;
- rules applicable to the design of the current collection on a third rail;
- simulation methods for the running of vehicles, therefore, it does not confirm the validity of existing
simulations;
- verification rules of wagon loadings;
- coding methods for combined transportation;
- infrastructure gauges for very small curve radii (e.g. R < 150 m for gauge G1).

Bahnanwendungen - Lichtraum - Teil 1: Allgemeines - Gemeinsame Vorschriften für Infrastruktur und Fahrzeuge

Diese Norm gilt für den Betrieb von Eisenbahnen. Sie kann auch auf Stadtbahn-, Straßenbahn- und U-Bahnsysteme (Fahrzeuge und  Infrastruktur) angewandt werden, nicht jedoch auf Systeme wie spurgeführte Busse.
Sie erlaubt die Begrenzungsberechnung und Konformitätsprüfung von Fahrzeugen und Infrastruktur  unter Berücksichtigung der erforderlichen Instandhaltungsreserven bei verschleißbehafteten Fahrzeug- und Infrastrukturkomponenten.
Die vorliegende Norm gilt für neue und umzubauende Fahrzeuge und Bahnanlagen sowie  für die Überprüfung bereits im Betrieb befindlicher Fahrzeuge und Bahnanlagen.
Der vorliegende Teil 1 der Norm enthält:
-   die allgemeinen Grundsätze;
-   die verschiedenen Einflussgrößen, die bei der Bestimmung der Begrenzungslinien zu berücksichtigen sind;
-   die verschiedenen Rechenmethoden, die gleichermaßen für die Infrastruktur wie für die Fahrzeuge anzuwenden sind;
-   die Vereinbarungen für die Zuordnung der verschiedenen Einflussgrößen auf Infrastruktur und Fahr-zeuge;
-   einen Katalog der europäischen Begrenzungslinien.
Die vorliegende Norm befasst sich nicht mit:
-   Bedingungen, die im Hinblick auf die Sicherheit von Reisenden auf dem Bahnsteig und von Personen auf dem Randweg zu berücksichtigen sind;
-   Bedingungen, die von Oberbauinstandhaltungsgeräten in Arbeitsstellung einzuhalten sind;
-   Vorschriften für Sendungen mit Lademaßüberschreitung;
-   Vorschriften für den Bau des Oberleitungssystems.

Applications ferroviaires - Gabarits - Partie 1: Généralités - Règles communes à l'infrastructure et au matériel roulant

La présente Norme européenne est applicable par les instances concernées par l’exploitation ferroviaire, elle s’applique également aux matériels légers (par exemple, tramway, métro, etc. circulant sur deux rails) et leur infrastructure associée, mais ne s’applique pas aux systèmes tels que des bus guidés par rail.  
Elle permet de dimensionner et de vérifier la conformité du matériel roulant et de l’infrastructure par rapport aux règles du gabarit.
Tant pour le matériel roulant que pour l’infrastructure, la présente norme est applicable aux nouvelles constructions, aux transformations et au contrôle des véhicules et des infrastructures déjà en exploitation.
Le présent document prEN 15273-1 traite :
-   des principes généraux;
-   des différents éléments et phénomènes intervenant dans la détermination des gabarits;
-   des différentes méthodes de calcul, applicables aux éléments communs à l’infrastructure et au matériel roulant;
-   des conventions de répartition des éléments pris en compte dans les calculs propres à l’infrastructure et au matériel roulant;
-   d’un catalogue de gabarits européens.
Le présent document ne traite pas:
-   des conditions à respecter pour la sécurité des voyageurs sur les quais ni des personnes appelées à circuler le long des voies;
-   des conditions à respecter par les engins de maintenance des installations fixes, en position de travail;
-   de l’espace à dégager pour la bande de roulement des métros et autres véhicules montés sur pneus;
-   des transports exceptionnels, mais certaines formules peuvent être utilisées;
-   des règles relatives à la conception du système caténaire;
-   des règles relatives à la conception du système de captage de courant sur un troisième rail;
-   des méthodes de simulation de la marche des véhicules et ne permet pas de confirmer la validité de simulations existantes;
-   des règles de vérification des chargements sur wagon;
-   des méthodes de codification pour le transport combiné;

Železniške naprave - Profili - 1. del: Splošno - Skupna pravila, ki se nanašajo na infrastrukturo in železniška vozila

Ta evropski standard velja za organe oblasti, ki so vključeni v železniško delovanje, in lahko velja tudi za lahka vozila (npr. tramvaje, metroje itd., ki vozijo po dveh tirih) in njim pripadajočo infrastrukturo, a ne za sisteme, kot so avtobusi, vodeni po tirih. Omogoča dimenzioniranje vozil in infrastruktur ter preverjanje njihove skladnosti glede na pravila kalibriranja. Pri železniških vozilih in infrastrukturi ta standard velja za nove načrte, prilagoditve in za preverjanje vozil in infrastrukture, ki so že v uporabi. Ta dokument EN 15273-1 zajema: - splošna načela; - različne elemente in pojave, ki vplivajo na določanje profilov; - različne metode označevanja, veljavne za elemente, ki si jih delita infrastruktura in železniška vozila; - pravila delitve za elemente, ki se upoštevajo pri izračunih, specifične za infrastrukturo in za vozilo; - katalog evropskih profilov.
