Railway applications - Track - Track alignment design parameters - Track gauges 1 435 mm and wider - Part 2: Switches and crossings and comparable alignment design situations with abrupt changes of curvature

This European Standard specifies the rules and values for the track alignment design parameters used to determine the maximum operating speeds over tracks with abrupt changes in curvature and, consequently, abrupt changes of cant deficiency. Such conditions occur in the following situations:
- in the diverging tracks in switch and crossing layouts;
- when it is not practical to design an alignment with transition curves;
- if the length of a transition curve is less than the minimum required for plain line track.
Engineering requirements specific to the mechanical behaviour of switch and crossing components and subsystems are to be found in the relevant standards. This European Standard presupposes that the homologation of the operating vehicles will be valid and specified for conditions corresponding to the limiting values specified in this European Standard. This European Standard is applicable to abrupt changes in curvature in switch and crossing layouts and plain lines with track gauges of -1 435™ mm and wider. Annex C is applicable to track gauges wider than - 1 435™ mm. This European Standard specifies the requirements for preventing buffer locking. The limiting values specified in this European Standard, when applied at the switch toe, are for switches with tangential geometry (as defined in EN 13232-1). This European Standard need not be applicable to certain urban and suburban lines. This European Standard is not applicable to track alignment requirements for tilting body vehicles. However, Annex H draws the designer’s attention to the consequences and the restrictions imposed when tilting vehicles are operated over switch and crossing layouts and alignments without transition curves.

Bahnanwendungen - Oberbau - Linienführung in Gleisen - Spurweiten 1 435 mm und größer - Teil 2: Weichen und Kreuzungen sowie vergleichbare Trassierungselemente mit unvermitteltem Krümmungswechsel

Diese Europäische Norm legt die Regeln und Parameter der Entwurfselemente für die Linienführung fest, die zur Bestimmung der zulässigen Geschwindigkeiten in Gleisen mit unvermittelten Krümmungswechseln und damit unmittelbaren Änderungen des Überhöhungsfehlbetrages zu verwenden sind. Solche Verhältnisse entstehen in den folgenden Situationen:
-   in abzweigenden Gleisen von Weichen und in Weichenbereichen;
-   in Bereichen, in denen es nicht zweckmäßig ist, eine Linienführung mit Übergangsbögen vorzusehen;
-   wenn die Länge des Übergangsbogens kleiner ist als die für durchgehende Hauptgleise geforderte Länge.
Die konstruktiven Anforderungen bezüglich der mechanischen Eigenschaften der Bauteile und Untersysteme von Weichen und Kreuzungen sind den entsprechenden Normen zu entnehmen.
Diese Europäische Norm setzt voraus, dass die eingesetzten Fahrzeuge entsprechend den Bedingungen zugelassen sind, die den in dieser Europäischen Norm festgelegten Grenzwerten ent¬sprechen.
Diese Europäische Norm ist bei unvermittelten Krümmungswechseln in Weichen und Weichenbereichen sowie in durchgehenden Hauptgleisen mit Spurweiten von 1 435 mm und größer anzuwenden. Anhang C ist bei Spur¬weiten größer als 1 435 mm anzuwenden.
Diese Europäische Norm legt die Anforderungen fest, die zur Vermeidung von Überpufferungen gelten.
Soweit sich die in dieser Europäischen Norm festgelegten Grenzwerte auf den Weichenanfang beziehen, gelten sie für Weichen mit tangentialer Geometrie (wie in EN 13232-1 festgelegt).
Diese Europäische Norm gilt nicht für Stadtbahnen und Vorortbahnen.
Diese Europäische Norm regelt nicht die Bedingungen der Linienführung für Neigetechnikfahrzeuge. Anhang H weist den Planer jedoch auf die Folgen und Beschrän¬kungen hin, die zu beachten sind, wenn Neigetechnikfahrzeuge über Weichen und Weichenbereiche sowie über Trassierungselemente ohne Übergangsbögen verkehren.

Applications ferroviaires - Voie - Paramètres de conception du tracé de la voie - Écartement 1 435 mm et plus large - Partie 2: Appareils de voie et situations comparables de conception du tracé avec changements brusques de courbure

La présente Norme Européenne spécifie les règles et les valeurs des paramètres de conception du tracé de la voie
utilisées pour déterminer les vitesses d’exploitation maximales sur les voies présentant de brusques variations de
courbure et donc d’insuffisance de dévers. De telles conditions se rencontrent dans les situations suivantes :
— en voie déviée dans les zones d’appareils de voie,
— lorsque la conception d’un tracé avec des courbes de transition n’est pas possible,
— lorsque la longueur de la courbe de transition est inférieure au minimum demandé en voie courante.
Les exigences techniques spécifiques au comportement mécanique des composants et sous-systèmes des appareils
de voie doivent être trouvées dans les normes concernant ces éléments.
La présente Norme Européenne suppose que l’homologation des véhicules exploités soit valide et spécifiée pour les
conditions correspondant aux valeurs limites indiquées dans la présente Norme européenne.
La présente Norme Européenne s'applique aux variations brusques de courbure dans les zones d'appareils de voie
et en voie courante pour les écartements de voie de ˜1 435 mm™ et plus. L'annexe C s'applique aux écartements
de voie supérieurs à ˜1 435 mm™.
La présente Norme Européenne spécifie les exigences pour la prévention de l’enchevêtrement des tampons.
Les valeurs limites spécifiées dans la présente Norme Européenne, lorsqu’elles sont appliquées en pointe d’aiguille,
concernent les aiguillages à géométrie tangentielle (comme défini dans l’EN 13232-1).
Il n’est pas nécessaire d’appliquer la présente Norme Européenne aux lignes urbaines et suburbaines.
Les exigences de tracé de la voie spécifiées dans la présente Norme Européenne ne s’appliquent pas aux véhicules
pendulaires. Toutefois, l’annexe H attire l’attention du concepteur sur les conséquences et les restrictions imposées
lorsque des véhicules pendulaires circulent sur des appareils de voie et des tracés sans courbes de transition.

Železniške naprave - Zgornji ustroj - Parametri za projektiranje prog - Tirne širine 1435 mm in več - 2. del: Kretnice, križišča in vodoravne krivine brez prehodnic

Ta evropski standard določa pravila in vrednosti parametrov za projektiranje prog, ki se uporabljajo za določanje najvišje delovne hitrosti na tirih z nenadnimi spremembami krožnega loka in posledično nenadnimi spremembami primanjkanja nadvišanja. Do takšnih pogojev lahko pride v naslednjih položajih:
- na odklonskih tirih pri kretnicah in križiščih;
- kadar ni praktično načrtovati trase z ločnimi prehodnicami;
- če je ločna prehodnica krajša od minimalno zahtevane za navadni tir.
Inženirske zahteve, specifične za mehansko obnašanje komponent in podsistemov kretnic in križišč, se nahajajo v ustreznih standardih. Ta evropski standard predpostavlja, da je homologacija delovnih vozil veljavna in določena za pogoje, ki ustrezajo mejnim vrednostim, ki jih določa ta evropski standard. Ta evropski standard velja za nenadne spremembe krožnega loka pri kretnicah in križiščih ter navadnih tirih s tirnimi širinami 1 435 mm in več. Priloga C velja za tirne širine, večje od 1 435 mm. Ta evropski standard določa zahteve za preprečevanje zatikanja odbojnikov. Če se mejne vrednosti, ki jih določa ta evropski standard, uporabijo pri skrajnem zaskočnem delu kretnice, veljajo za kretnice s tangencialno geometrijo (kot je opredeljeno v EN 13232-1). Tega evropskega standarda ni treba uporabljati za določene mestne in primestne proge. Ta evropski standard ne velja za zahteve za tirne trase za nagibajoča se vozila. Vendar pa Priloga H opozarja načrtovalca na posledice in omejitve, kadar nagibajoča se vozila vozijo preko kretnic in križišč ter tras brez ločnih prehodnic.

EN 13803-2:2006+A1:2009 (E) 5 1 Scope This European Standard specifies the rules and values for the track alignment design parameters used to determine the maximum operating speeds over tracks with abrupt changes in curvature and, consequently, abrupt changes of cant deficiency. Such conditions occur in the following situations:  in the diverging tracks in switch and crossing layouts;  when it is not practical to design an alignment with transition curves;  if the length of a transition curve is less than the minimum required for plain line track. Engineering requirements specific to the mechanical behaviour of switch and crossing components and subsystems are to be found in the relevant standards. This European Standard presupposes that the homologation of the operating vehicles will be valid and specified for conditions corresponding to the limiting values specified in this European Standard. This European Standard is applicable to abrupt changes in curvature in switch and crossing layouts and plain lines with track gauges of ˜1 435™ mm and wider. Annex C is applicable to track gauges wider than
˜1 435™ mm. This European Standard specifies the requirements for preventing buffer locking. The limiting values specified in this European Standard, when applied at the switch toe, are for switches with tangential geometry (as defined in EN 13232-1). This European Standard need not be applicable to certain urban and suburban lines. This European Standard is not applicable to track alignment requirements for tilting body vehicles. However, Annex H draws the designer’s attention to the consequences and the restrictions imposed when tilting vehicles are operated over switch and crossing layouts and alignments without transition curves. 2 Normative references The following referenced documents are indispensable for the application of this document.

5 General requirements The track alignment designer is free to specify the most appropriate values for the various parameters at the specified operating speeds, when considering safety, geographical, engineering, historical, and economic constraints. These values and parameters shall be specified in the contract documents. The designer shall endeavour not to exceed the ˜recommended values™ specified in this European Standard and avoid unnecessary use of the maximum (or minimum) limiting values. Annex G describes the constraints and risks associated with the use of maximum (or minimum) limiting values. Whenever necessary, the track alignment designer shall take into account national standards when these are more restrictive. The most important requirements for the installation of switch and crossing layouts are specified in Annex B. These requirements have an influence on the design of the alignment elements for both tracks in switch and crossing layouts and, consequently, they influence the maximum operating speeds and life cycle costs. The designer should, as far as it is practicable, comply with these requirements. Existing installations, which do not conform to this European Standard, should be modified as soon as possible if safety requirements (for example abrupt change of cant deficiency, length of element(s) between abrupt changes of curvature and the safety related parameters listed in ENV 13803-1) are compromised. Other non-conforming installations should, if possible, be modified during the next track renewal. The railway authority or the manufacturer shall specify the limits (e.g. requirement for the switch entry angle) for non-tangential switches (see also EN 13232-9). Annex F describes a method for calculating the maximum permissible speed at the toe of a non-tangential switch. SIST EN 13803-2:2007+A1:2010



EN 13803-2:2006+A1:2009 (E) 8 6 Principles for the assessment of abrupt changes of cant deficiency at abrupt changes in curvature 6.1 General The main principle described in 6.2 is based on in-service experiences in terms of safety and passenger comfort. Some European railway authorities use the principle of the virtual transition described in Annex E (informative). There are in current use various types of turnouts that have curves of variable curvature combined with circular curves or straights in the diverging track. The different geometrical layouts used in these types of turnout are described in 9.2.2. The curves of variable curvature used in these turnouts are normally of the Clothoid form. Annex D describes a theoretical calculation method that can be used to compare the effects of a succession of different alignment elements with vehicles of different characteristics. 6.2 Principle based on limiting values of abrupt change of cant deficiency (˜˜˜˜∆∆∆∆I™™™™) This principle is based on limiting the abrupt change in cant deficiency between an abutting curve and straight, or between the abutting arcs of a compound or reverse curve. The relationship between cant deficiency, speed, radius, and cant is expressed by the equation: ii2iDRVCI−⋅=
[mm] where C = 11,8 mm·m·h2/km2 and i = 1, 2 For curves with cant excess, the equation I = −E shall be used. Between two abutting curves (i.e. two arcs without an intermediate element) the abrupt change in cant deficiency is ˜∆I™
= I2 ± I1. For a reverse curve it is ˜∆I™
= I2 + I1 and for a compound curve it is ˜∆I™
= I2 − I1. The limiting values are specified in 7.1. The limiting lengths of intermediate element(s) between two abrupt changes of curvature are specified in 8.2. The value of abrupt change in cant deficiency to be taken into account when there is no intermediate element between curves, or the intermediate element is of substandard length, is specified in 8.3.2. 7 Circular curves without transition curves 7.1 Limiting values based on the principle of abrupt change of cant deficiency ˜˜˜˜∆∆∆∆Ilim™™™™ 7.1.1 General This principle of abrupt change of cant deficiency is described in 6.2. The maximum permissible speed over an abrupt change in curvature between a curve without cant and a straight shall be based on the limiting values for abrupt change of cant deficiency (˜∆Ilim™) specified in 7.1.2 and 7.1.3. lim2IRVCI∆≤⋅=∆

Figure 1 — Combination of circular curve and straight without cant NOTE When designs are based on the principle of limiting values for abrupt change of cant deficiency (˜∆Iim™), in accordance with 6.2, it is not necessary to conform to the limiting values for the rate of change of abrupt change of cant deficiency (˜∆I/∆t™), specified for the principle of the virtual transition as described in the informative Annex E. 7.1.2 Switch and crossing layouts The limiting values for an abrupt change of cant deficiency in the tracks of a switch and crossing layout shall be as specified in Table 2.
