EN 14067-4:2005 (E) 6
Introduction Trains running on open track generate aerodynamic loads on objects and persons they pass. If trains are being passed by other trains, trains are also subject to aerodynamic loading themselves. The aerodynamic loading caused by a train passing an object or a person near the track, or when two trains pass each other, depends mainly on the following parameters:  running speed of the train(s);  distance between the object and the train(s);  geometry of the train(s);  geometry of the object;  ambient wind effects. Trains running on open track have to overcome a resistance to motion.



EN 14067-4:2005 (E) 7 1 Scope This European Standard applies to train-induced aerodynamic loading on open track caused by:  trains passing a permanent or temporary structure;  trains passing a person who is alongside the track;  two trains passing each other. This European Standard applies to open air structures of any length and closed structures of a length less than 20 m enveloping the tracks. For closed structures enveloping the tracks that are longer than 20 m prEN 14067-5 applies. For effects caused by cross winds, the aerodynamic phenomena are described in prEN 14067-6. In addition, this European Standard applies to the resistance of motion for trains in open air. 2 Normative references The following referenced documents are indispensable for the application of this European Standard.

A coasting test allows a determination of the speed dependent terms of R1. For the C1 term, a special test is needed, the most reliable being to haul the train at very low speed. The basic principle of a coasting test is to run the train up to a certain speed and then cease the tractive effort and all sources of magnetic resistance (e.g. insulated gate bipolar transistor – IGBT) before entering a test section. Instantaneous train speed and position are measured along the testing section. A recording of the train acceleration may also be needed depending on the method used. From this information, it is possible to estimate R1 by fitting a theoretical curve to the experimental deceleration data. The major advantage of this methodology is that no measurement of the tractive effort is needed. There are two different post-test data treatments commonly used to obtain the resistance to motion of a train from a coasting test:  the regression method and  the speed history identification method. The following subclauses deal with the hauling test requirements, the coasting test requirements and the post-test data treatment. 4.5.2 Requirements for train hauling procedure A train hauling test consists of pulling the train at constant speed using a windlass. This test should be undertaken on a straight and level test section, for which the quality of both the geometry and the rail surface has to be as good as possible. C1 is determined via the mean tractive effort over a time interval for which the windlass speed is constant. In order to prevent the influence of speed dependent terms, the windlass speed has to be approximately 1 m/s. The ambient wind speed shall be monitored and less than 2 m/s. Thus, the hauling test may be performed in a tunnel in order to minimize any wind influence. Due to the effects of adhesion, coupling looseness, etc., the breakaway phase has to be avoided. The train mass shall be known with an accuracy of ± 2 % for mass correction purposes and the train axle-boxes shall be at the train operational temperature. The uncertainty in C1 determined from this test shall be lower than 10 %.



EN 14067-4:2005 (E) 9 4.5.3 Requirements for coasting test procedure If the regression method is to be used, the coasting test shall be performed on test sections which are as close as possible to ideal, i.e. straight and level. The equivalent grade resistance, taking into account both gradients and curves, shall be as low as possible compared to the resistance to motion. The previous requirement is not needed for the speed history identification post-test data treatments where grade and curve influence is taken into account in the post-test data treatments. For both post-test data treatments, it has to be ensured that the train under investigation can run at its maximum speed on the selected test section. Moreover, the detailed characteristics of the test section (slopes and curve radii) have to be known precisely. If these characteristics are not easily available, an alternative method is to measure all three components of the acceleration by a dedicated accelerometer. Meteorological information, i.e. ambient wind speed, air pressure, humidity and temperature, ideally shall be measured either on the test section or on the train exterior. It is essential that the location of the train relative to the track gradient, curve changes and meteorological station are known. For example, a start and stop mark, readable by the train, may be used to determine the train's entrance and exit from the test section. The train composition and mass, ideally in normal operational order, should be the same for each test. If not, the differences need to be taken into account when post-processing the data. The mass of the test train as well as the k factor accounting for the energy stored in the rotating masses shall be known with an accuracy of within ± 2 %. The k factor can be determined by coasting the train uphill with slow initial speed until the train comes to a stop. Axle-boxes shall be at their normal operational temperature. Furthermore, all cooling equipment shall have a well-defined and time-stable state, so as not to introduce bias into the measurements. The train shall be equipped with a velocity sensor, an odometer allowing train speed measurement with an accuracy of the greater of ± 1 % or ± 1 km/h. Coasting tests ideally should be performed from the maximum train speed vtr,max to zero. It is permissible to limit the test to the following speed range: [vtr,max; vtr,max/3]. This reduced speed range may be achieved either in a single run or in a number of separate runs. If the latter approach is adopted, the train speed on entry into the test section should be varied in a stepwise manner, e.g. by steps of vtr,max/20 over the speed range [vtr,max ; vtr,max /3]. The relevant train measurements, i.e. speed, acceleration, etc., shall be recorded at a minimum sampling rate of 10 Hz. External events such as passing trains, tunnels, bridges or switches and crossings have to be carefully recorded by time and position. The data measured when passing these features should normally be excluded from the post-test data analysis. For the regression method, a minimum of three runs over the whole speed range is recommended, to assess the repeatability of the results and for the statistical analysis needed during the later analysis. For the speed history identification method, at least three runs should be performed from vtr,max to vtr,max/3. The main principle when analysing coasting test data is to respect the fundamental principle of dynamics: ()∑+−==21iRRRkmγ (2) where k accounting for the energy stored in rotating masses; m is the train mass; γ is the train acceleration measured during the coasting test; ∑iR is the sum of all the resistances to motion. The train acceleration γ can be measured directly during coasting tests or by calculating the derivative of speed between two time or track intervals. For the regression method, data affected by gradient changes shall be excluded from analysis. For both methodologies, data affected by switching off the tractive effort shall be excluded from analysis. Data acquired during the coasting test, e.g. train speed, acceleration, etc. should be low pass filtered. If the test section includes curves or slopes, the corresponding curving and grade



EN 14067-4:2005 (E) 10 resistances shall be taken into account as a part of the total resistance to motion. The equivalent curving and grade resistance is given by the following formula: +⋅=rigmR8002 (3) where g is the acceleration due to gravity; m is the train mass; i is the gradient of the track in 0,1%; r is the curve radius in m (800/r = 0 for a straight track). For each coasting test run, corrections shall be made for any differences in test train mass and meteorological conditions. For the regression method, the resistance to motion is expressed in terms of the train speed using equations (1) to (3). An estimate of the coefficients C1, C2, and C3 can be deduced by fitting a calculated curve to the measured data. In order to obtain a more stable result, the C1 coefficient shall be fixed to the mass corrected value derived from the train hauling test. The C2 value may also be fixed using an assessment of the air momentum loss or a more sophisticated approach. It is important to define a statistic which measures the goodness of fit of the calculated curve. For the regression method, this indicator can be the regression coefficient. When using the regression method, it is necessary to ensure a uniform weighting of data when fitting the theoretical curve. The speed history identification method is iterative and is based on the calculation of the coasting time t as a function of the train speed vtr, using estimated resistance formulae. The parameters in the resistance formulae are adjusted until a good agreement between the calculated and the measured vtr ~ t diagrams is reached. A quality indicator has to be defined, i.e. the mean value of differences between calculated and measured speed on the full coasting test. The integral of k m d vtr / R1 which gives the coasting time between two speed values is calculated numerically. At each speed step, all the parameters affecting the resistance are adjusted so that a perfect simulation of the train run is made. The mean values for R1 and its standard deviations should be reported.



EN 14067-4:2005 (E) 11 5 Train-induced pressure changes causing loading on objects 5.1 General The typical pressure signal produced by a single unit train at a point on a vertical wall parallel to the track develops over time as shown in Figure 1:
Key 1 Head of train passing 2 Tail of train passing Figure 1 — Pressure signal at a point on a vertical wall caused by train passing 5.2 Assessment by predictive formulae 5.2.1 General remarks and application When calculating the mechanical and fatigue strength of a structure, the aerodynamic loads to be taken into account shall be of an equivalent amplitude at the head, tail, and in the case of nose-to-nose coupled trains, at the coupler as well. This amplitude shall be the largest of the loads during the complete passing time of the train. These aerodynamic loads shall be applied in every case perpendicular to the surface of the structure. They are defined as characteristic pressure values. The following subclauses allow a determination of characteristic pressure values which are in line with those given graphically in EN 1991-2 but allow a wider range of application by use of formulae. It has to be emphasized that the given characteristic pressure values represent the maximum area-averaged (dynamic) loads on a structure. Since a train passing does not result in a static load, these characteristic values cannot be taken as maximum static loads. Fatigue calculations require additional information on the dynamic behaviour of the structure, the number of cycles, more detailed information on the dynamics of the train-induced pressure pulse, etc. 5.2.2 Flat vertical structures parallel to the tracks The following structures belong to this category:



EN 14067-4:2005 (E) 12  acoustic barriers;  protection walls;  facades of buildings close to tracks. If results from measurements, calculations or simulations are not available, the pressure signal (which corresponds to the head and the tail of the train passing the structure) is replaced by the distributed loads + p1k and – p1k, each of which is 5 m in length, and moving at the speed of the train as shown in Figure 2. The load shall apply from the foot of the structure on the railway track formation up to a maximum of 5 m above the top of the rail (see Figure 2).
Figure 2 — Load on flat vertical structures parallel to the tracks The characteristic values p1k of the distributed loads are determined from Equation (4). p112tr1k2Ckvpρ= (4) where Cp1 is the aerodynamic coefficient depending on the distance from track axis Y; k1 is a shape coefficient of the train. The factor Cp1 is obtained from Equation (5). ()02,025,05,22p1++=YC (5) for Y ≥ 2,3 m.



EN 14067-4:2005 (E) 13 The k1 values are as follows: k1 = 1,00 for freight trains; k1 = 0,85 for passenger trains; k1 = 0,60 for trains that are very well shaped aerodynamically (high-speed trains as ICE, TGV, ETR). In the case of small structural elements up to 1,0 m high or up to 2,5 m long, the pressures p1k shall be increased by a factor 1,3. 5.2.3 Flat horizontal structures above the tracks The following flat horizontal structures above the tracks belong to this category:  catenary protective structures;  br
