EN 13848-1:2003

Railway applications - Track - Track geometry quality - Part 1: Characterisation of track geometry

This EN specifies the requirements for homologation of track geometry quality parameters as measured by recording vehicles and by manually operated devices. The standard applies to all relevant track geometry parameters including track gauge, longitudinal level, alignment, cross-level (cant/superelevation) and twist. It does not however deal with conicity or railhead profile matters. It defines each parameter and specifies the requirements for measurement, the analysis methods and the presentation of results.

Bahnanwendungen - Oberbau - Qualität der Gleisgeometrie - Teil 1: Beschreibung der Gleisgeometrie

Dieser Teil der Europäischen Norm legt die Anforderungen zur Vereinheitlichung von Parametern der Qualität der Gleisgeometrie fest, wie sie von verschiedenen Messeinrichtungen gemessen werden. Diese Messeinrichtungen werden in den Teilen 2, 3 und 4 dieser Norm beschrieben. Diese Europäische Norm gilt für alle Parameter der Gleisgeometrie einschließlich Spurweite, Längshöhe, Richtung, Überhöhung (Querhöhe/gegenseitige Höhenlage) und Verwindung. Sie definiert jeden Parameter und legt die Anforderungen an die Messung, die Auswerteverfahren und die Präsentation der Ergebnisse fest.

Applications ferroviaires/Voie - Qualité géométrique de la voie - Partie 1: Caractérisation de la géométrie de voie

Cette EN spécifie les exigences pour l'homologation des paramètres de qualité géométrique de la voie tels qu'ils sont mesurés par un véhicule d'enregistrement ou par un système manuel. Cette norme s'applique à tout paramètre caractérisant la géométrie de la voie, c.-à-d. l'écartement, le nivellement longitudinal, le dressage, le nivellement transversal (dévers), et le gauche. Toutefois, elle ne traite pas en détail des problèmes de conicité ou de profil de rail. Enfin, elle définit chaque paramètre et spécifie les exigences pour la mesure, les méthodes d'analyse, et la présentation des résultats.
