Railway applications - Measurement of vertical forces on wheels and wheelsets - Part 1: On-track measurement sites for vehicles in service

The scope of this European Standard is restricted to the measurement of vertical wheel forces and calculation of derived quantities on vehicles in service. Measurements of a train in motion are used to estimate the static forces.
Derived quantities can be:
-   axle loads;
-   side to side load differences of a wheel set, bogie, vehicle;
-   overall mass of vehicle or train set;
-   mean axle load of a vehicle or train set.
This standard is not concerned with the evaluation of:
-   dynamic wheel force or derived quantities;
-   wheel condition (i.e. shape, profile, flats);
-   lateral wheel force;
-   combination of lateral and vertical wheel forces.
The standard defines accuracy classes for measurements to be made at any speed greater than 5 km/h within the calibrated range, which may be up to line speed.
The aim of this standard is to obtain measurement results that give representative values for the distribution of vertical wheel forces of a running vehicle, which under ideal conditions will be similar to those that can be obtained from a standing vehicle.
This standard does not impose any restrictions on the types of vehicles that can be monitored, or on which networks or lines the measuring system can be installed.
The standard lays down minimum technical requirements and the metrological characteristics of a system for measuring and evaluating a range of vehicle loading parameters. Also defined are accuracy classes for the parameters measured and the procedure for verifying the calibration.
The measuring system proposed in this standard should not be considered as safety critical. If the measuring system is connected to a train traffic command and control system then requirements that are not part of this standard may apply.
Measuring systems complying with this standard have the potential to enhance safety in the railway sector. However, the current operating and maintenance procedures rather than this standard are mandatory for ensuring safety levels in European rail networks.

Bahnanwendungen - Messung von vertikalen Rad- und Radsatzkräften - Teil 1: Interoperable gleisseitige Messeinrichtungen für fahrende Fahrzeuge

Der Anwendungsbereich dieser Europäischen Norm ist auf das Messen vertikaler Radkräfte und die Berechnung davon abgeleiteter Größen für Fahrzeuge im betrieblichen Einsatz beschränkt. Messungen eines Zuges in Bewegung werden verwendet, um die statischen Kräfte abzuschätzen.
Abgeleitete Größen können sein:
-   Radsatzlasten;
-   Lastunterschiede zwischen den beiden Seiten eines Radsatzes, Drehgestells oder Fahrzeugs;
-   Gesamtmasse eines Fahrzeugs oder Zugverbandes;
-   mittlere Radsatzlast eines Fahrzeugs oder Zugverbandes.
Diese Norm befasst sich nicht mit der Bewertung:
-   der dynamischen Radkraft oder abgeleiteter Größen;
-   des Zustandes der Räder (z. B. der Gestalt, dem Profil, Flachstelle);
-   der Querkraft am Rad;
-   der Kombination aus vertikalen und Querkräften am Rad.
Diese Norm legt Genauigkeitsklassen für durchzuführende Messungen bei Geschwindigkeiten oberhalb von 5 km/h innerhalb des kalibrierten Bereichs bis zur Streckengeschwindigkeit fest.
Das Ziel dieser Norm besteht im Erreichen von Messergebnissen, die repräsentative Werte für die Verteilung der vertikalen Radkräfte eines fahrenden Fahrzeugs erzeugen und die unter idealen Bedingungen denen gleich sind, die bei einem stehenden Fahrzeug erhoben werden können.
Diese Norm erhebt keinerlei Beschränkungen dazu, welche Fahrzeugtypen überwacht werden können oder an welchen Netzwerken oder Strecken das Messsystem installiert werden kann.
Die Norm legt technische Mindestanforderungen und messtechnische Merkmale für ein System zum Messen und Bewerten zahlreicher Parameter zur Fahrzeugbeanspruchung fest. Ebenfalls definiert werden Genauigkeits¬klassen für die gemessenen Parameter und die Vorgehensweise zur Verifizierung der Kalibrierung.
Das in dieser Norm vorgeschlagene Messsystem sollte nicht als sicherheitsentscheidend erachtet werden. Falls das Messsystem mit einem Zugsicherungssystem verbunden ist, dann könnten Anforderungen, die nicht Bestandteil dieser Norm sind, zur Anwendung kommen.
Messsysteme nach dieser Norm haben das Potential, die Sicherheit im Bereich der Eisenbahn zu verbessern. Dennoch ist nicht diese Norm, sondern die Anwendung der gegenwärtigen betrieblichen und instandhaltungstechnischen Verfahrensweisen obligatorisch, um das  Sicherheitsniveau in den Europäischen Eisenbahnnetzen zu gewährleisten.

Applications ferroviaires - Mesurage des forces verticales à la roue et à l'essieu - Partie 1 : Sites de mesure en voie interopérables des véhicules en service

Le domaine d'application de la présente Norme européenne se limite à la mesure des charges verticales appliquées à la roue, ainsi qu'au calcul de grandeurs dérivées à partir de mesures réalisées sur des véhicules en service. Les mesures réalisées sur un train en marche sont utilisées pour estimer les efforts statiques agissant sur le train.
Les grandeurs dérivées peuvent être :
-   les charges par essieu ;
-   la différence de charge gauche/droite d'un essieu, bogie ou véhicule ;
-   la masse totale du véhicule ou d'une rame ;
-   la charge moyenne par essieu d'un véhicule ou d'une rame.
La présente norme n'a pas pour objet l'évaluation :
-   des charges dynamiques s'exerçant sur la roue ou des grandeurs dérivées ;
-   des caractéristiques des roues (c'est-à-dire la forme, le profil, les plats) ;
-   des efforts latéraux exercés par les roues sur la voie ;
-   de la combinaison des forces verticales et latérales exercées par les roues sur la voie.
La présente norme n'a pas pour objet de spécifier les exigences de conception et de construction des voies, qui sont abordées dans d'autres normes et spécifications et/ou textes réglementaires européens en vigueur.
La présente norme définit les classes d'exactitude à appliquer pour des mesurages devant être effectués à plus de 5 km/h dans la gamme étalonnée, pouvant aller jusqu'à la vitesse de la ligne.
L'objet de la présente norme est d'obtenir des résultats de mesure qui soient représentatifs de la répartition des charges verticales appliquées aux roues d'un véhicule en marche et qui, dans des conditions idéales, soient similaires à celles pouvant être obtenues avec un véhicule à l'arrêt.
La présente norme n'impose aucune restriction concernant les types de véhicules pouvant être surveillés, ni les réseaux ou lignes sur lesquels peut être installé le système de mesure.
La norme définit les exigences techniques et les caractéristiques métrologiques minimales d'un système destiné à mesurer et évaluer différents paramètres de charge d'un véhicule. Elle définit également les classes d'exactitude concernant les paramètres mesurés, ainsi que le cadre d'évaluation des appareils.
Le système de mesure suggéré dans la présente norme n'est pas considéré comme essentiel à la sécurité du système ferroviaire. Si le système de mesure est relié à un système de contrôle-commande pour la gestion du trafic ferroviaire, celui-ci peut être soumis à d'autres exigences qui ne relèvent pas de la présente norme.
Les systèmes de mesure conformes à la présente norme peuvent contribuer à l'amélioration de la sécurité dans le secteur ferroviaire. Toutefois, la présente norme ne suffit pas ; les procédures d'exploitation et de maintenance en vigueur sont obligatoires pour garantir les niveaux de sécurité exigés au sein des réseaux ferroviaires européens.

Železniške naprave - Meritve vertikalnih kolesnih in osnih obremenitev - 1. del: Meritve na železniških vozilih med vožnjo

Področje uporabe tega evropskega standarda je omejeno na merjenje v gibanju na poti za navidezno statične navpične sile koles in izpeljane količine pri vozilih v obratovanju. Izpeljane količine so lahko: – navpične sile kolesnih dvojic (osne obremenitve);  – razlike kolesne sile med eno in drugo stranjo znotraj kompleta koles, podstavnega vozička, vozila ali vlakovne kompozicije;  – povprečna osna obremenitev delujočih zobnikov, vozila ali vlakovne kompozicije;  – skupna teža vozila ali vlaka.  Ta standard se ne ukvarja z merjenjem:  – dinamične kolesne sile ali izpeljanih količin;  – stanja koles (oblike, profila, ploskih površin);  – lateralne kolesne sile;  – kombinacije lateralnih in navpičnih kolesnih sil.  Standard določa razrede natančnosti za meritve, ki bodo opravljene pri kakršni koli hitrosti, večji od 5 km/h v umerjenem razponu, ki lahko sega do hitrosti linije. Namen tega standarda je pridobivanje rezultatov merjenja, ki omogočajo reprezentativne vrednosti za distribucijo navpičnih kolesnih sil vozila v obratovanju in bodo podobni tistim, ki jih je mogoče pridobiti pri stoječem vozilu pod idealnimi pogoji. Ta standard ne podaja nikakršnih omejitev glede vrst vozil, ki se jih lahko nadzira, ali glede tega, na katerih omrežjih ali linijah se lahko namesti merilni sistem.  Standard določa minimalne tehnične zahteve in meroslovne značilnosti sistema za merjenje navpičnih kolesnih sil in izpeljanih količin vozila. Definirani so tudi razredi natančnosti teh parametrov. Merilnega sistema, predlaganega v tem standardu, se naj ne bi štelo za nevarnega. Če je merilni sistem povezan s signalizacijo proge, nadzorom vlakov ali sistemom za kontrolo vlakov, lahko veljajo zahteve, ki niso del tega standarda.

5 Metrological characteristics 5.1 General In this clause of the standard, the minimum technical metrological characteristics, operational features and performance criteria are listed. 5.2 Accuracy classes The accuracy of a measurement system is defined in terms of ‘accuracy class’. The accuracy classes are based on the maximum permissible errors of the measurements and are specified in Table 3. In order to meet an accuracy class on initial verification, 90 % of the measurements shall not exceed the maximum permissible error specified for ‘initial verification’. The remaining 10 % shall not exceed the maximum permissible error specified for ‘in-service inspection’. In order to meet an accuracy class on in-service inspection, 100 % of the measurements shall not exceed the maximum permissible error specified for ‘in-service inspection’. A system may have different accuracy classes and shall be defined for one or more of the following quantities: a) train gross mass; b) vehicle gross mass; c) sum of axle loads on a running gear (bogie); d) axle load; e) wheel force. The accuracy classes may vary according to the direction of travel and whether the system is being operated in either the ‘pull mode’ or the ‘push mode’. To determine the accuracy classes of a measurement system, it is necessary to conduct verification tests with vehicles in motion. Verification of the accuracy classes of the quantities a) to e) shall be based on known values (measured by a system or several systems providing less uncertainty). Table 3 lists the available accuracy classes. These apply to the quantities a) to e) and can also be applied to quantities in Clause 4. The table specifies the accuracy per class for both initial and in-service verification. The range of full scale accuracy of measured values shall be defined. SIST EN 15654-1:2018

5 % initial verification (Class 10) 90 % of all measurements Figure 1 — Illustration of accuracy classes and maximum permissible error for a class 10 device 5.3 Measurement and calibration range This measurement range is the range of wheel forces that the device shall measure. NOTE 1 This measurement range is related to the calculation of quasi-static quantities and may not be sufficient to measure peak dynamic forces generated by deficiencies (e.g. wheel defects, running instability, etc.). The measurement range is derived according to the following formulae which are based on the minimum defined axle load of the vehicles to be measured (P0,min) and the maximum permitted axle load of the track (P0,max.).

Examples of influence quantities are track quality and geometry, speed of travel and speed change, running behaviour, vehicle condition and suspension, wheel quality, temperature, snow, wind and power supply. These influences should be taken into account in system and site selection. Recommendations for device assessment are shown in Annex A. 5.5 Condition of use The system shall only be used within its measurement range. The measuring system proposed in this standard is not considered to be essential for the safety of the railway system. If the measuring system is connected to a train traffic command and control system then requirements that are not part of this standard may apply. 6 Technical requirements 6.1 Train and vehicle related capability The system shall be designed to be capable of determining at least the mandatory quantities defined in Table 5 (Reported data) covering at least the ranges contained in Table 4. SIST EN 15654-1:2018

The measurement system shall be able to measure –static vertical wheel forces for train speeds greater than 5 km/h within the calibrated range. For vehicles having characteristics outside the ranges given in this table refer to the manufacturer’s specifications for the system performance. 6.2 Environmental Instruments shall comply with the appropriate metrological and technical requirements at ambient temperatures from 10 °C to +40 °C. For special applications, however, the limits of the temperature range may differ provided that this range is not less than 30 K and is specified in the descriptive markings. The equipment should comply with the minimum environmental requirements specified by the infrastructure operator according to EN 50125-2. Externally track mounted equipment shall have a minimum environmental rating of IP65 in accordance with EN 60529. When designing the measuring system, the following relevant parts of the prevailing standards related to the use of electrical and electronic equipment in railway applications shall be applied: EN 50121-4, EN 50121-5, EN 50122-1, EN 50122-2, EN 50124-1. In addition to complying with the applicable mandatory railway standards it is recommended that due consideration is given in the overall design of the measuring system to the environment in which it will be operated. Consideration should be given to the local conditions including weather conditions, vibration, electrical discharges, rodents and any special conditions prevailing at the site of the installation. 6.3 Inputs and Outputs For the specification of a measuring system according to the standard the following parameters shall be defined: — interface and communication means; — transmission protocol, message format; — Table 5 contains mandatory and optional requirements for the outputs of the measurement system.
