EN 13803:2017

Railway applications - Track - Track alignment design parameters - Track gauges 1 435 mm and wider

The purpose of this European Standard is to specify 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.
This European Standard applies to nominal track gauges 1 435 mm and wider with speeds up to 360 km/h. Normative Annex A describes the conversion rules which shall be applied for tracks with nominal gauges wider than 1 435 mm. Normative Annex B is applied for nominal track gauges 1 520 mm, 1 524 mm and 1 668 mm.
This European Standard is also applicable where track alignment takes into account vehicles that have been approved for high cant deficiencies (including tilting trains).
More restrictive requirements of Technical specifications for interoperability relating to the ‘infrastructure’ subsystem of the rail system in the European Union (TSI INF) and other (national, company, etc.) rules will apply.
This European Standard need not be applicable to lines, or dedicated parts of railway infrastructure that are not interoperable with railway vehicles tested and approved according to EN 14363.

Bahnanwendungen - Oberbau - Trassierungsparameter - Spurweiten 1 435 mm und größer

Der Zweck dieser Europäischen Norm besteht in der Festlegung der Regeln und Grenzwerte für die Linienführung in Gleisen, einschließlich der Trassierung in Weichen und Kreuzungen. Verschiedene dieser Grenzwerte sind Funktionen der Geschwindigkeit. Alternativ legt die Norm für eine vorhandene Trassierung die Regeln und Grenzwerte fest, die die zulässige Geschwindigkeit bestimmen.
Diese Europäische Norm gilt für nominale Spurweiten von 1 435 mm und größer mit Geschwindigkeiten bis zu 360 km/h. Der normative Anhang A beschreibt die Umrechnungsregeln, die für Gleise mit nominalen Spurweiten größer als 1 435 mm anzuwenden sind. Der normative Anhang B wird für nominale Spurweiten von 1 520 mm, 1 524 mm und 1 668 mm angewendet.
Diese Europäische Norm gilt auch für Fälle, in denen die Trassierung Fahrzeuge berücksichtigt, die für hohe Überhöhungsfehlbeträge zugelassen sind (einschließlich Neigetechnik-Zügen).
Stärker einschränkende Anforderungen der Technischen Spezifikationen für die Interoperabilität des Teilsystems "Infrastruktur" des Bahnsystems der Europäischen Union (TSI INF) sowie weitere (nationale, firmeninterne usw.) Regeln sind zu beachten.
Diese Europäische Norm muss nicht auf Strecken oder zweckbestimmte Teile der Eisenbahninfrastruktur angewendet, welche nicht mit Eisenbahnfahrzeugen interoperabel sind, die nach EN 14363 geprüft und zugelassen wurden.

Applications ferroviaires - Voie - Paramètres de conception du tracé de la voie - Écartement 1 435 mm et plus large

L'objectif de la présente Norme européenne est de spécifier 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, pour un tracé de voie spécifique, elle spécifie les règles et les limites qui déterminent la vitesse admissible.
La présente Norme européenne s'applique aux écartements de voie nominaux de 1 435 mm et plus, parcourues à des vitesses pouvant aller jusqu'à 360 km/h. L'Annexe A normative décrit les règles de conversion qui doivent être appliquées pour les voies dont l'écartement nominal est supérieur à 1 435 mm. L'Annexe B normative s'applique aux écartements de voie nominaux de 1 520 mm, 1 524 mm et 1 668 mm.
La présente Norme européenne est également applicable lorsque le tracé de voie prend en compte les véhicules qui ont été homologués pour d'importantes insuffisances de dévers (y compris les trains pendulaires).
Des exigences plus restrictives des Spécifications techniques d'interopérabilité relatives au sous-système « Infrastructure » du système ferroviaire dans l'Union européenne (STI INF) et d'autres règles (nationales, d'entreprise, etc.) s'appliquent.
Il n'est pas nécessaire d'appliquer la présente Norme européenne aux lignes ou parties dédiées d'infrastructure ferroviaire non interopérables avec des véhicules ferroviaires soumis à l'essai et homologués conformément à l'EN 14363.

Železniške naprave - Zgornji ustroj proge - Parametri za načrtovanje trase proge - Tirne širine 1435 mm in več

Namen tega evropskega standarda je določiti pravila in omejitve za parametre za načrtovanje trase proge, vključno z načrtovanjem kretnic in križišč. Več teh omejitev predstavlja funkcije hitrosti. Za določene parametre za načrtovanje trase proge pa lahko določa pravila in omejitve, ki določajo dovoljeno hitrost. Ta evropski standard se uporablja za tirne širine 1435 mm in več ter hitrosti do 360 km/h. Informativni dodatek A opisuje pravila za pretvorbo, ki jih je treba uporabiti za tirnice s profili, ki so širši od 1435 mm. Normativni dodatek B se uporablja za tirne širine, ki so večje od 1435 mm. Ta evropski standard se uporablja tudi, kadar načrtovanje trase zajema vozila, ki so bila odobrena za velik primanjkljaj nadvišanja (vključno z nagibnimi vlaki). Uporabljajo se strožje zahteve tehničnih specifikacij za interoperabilnost (TSI) in druga pravila (nacionalne zahteve, zahteve podjetij itd.). Tega evropskega standarda ni treba uporabljati za tire ali namenske dele železniške infrastrukture, ki niso inteoperabilni z železniškimi vozili, ki so bila preskušena in potrjena v skladu z evropskim standardom EN 14363.
