Railway applications - Driver's cab - Part 4: Layout and access
This European standard gives design rules and guidance in order to ensure proper access, lighting; seating and exit of the driver’s cab. The different dimensions are based on the anthropometric data defined in EN 16186-1. The corresponding assessment methods are also included in this standard. It covers the following aspects:
- dimension and interior layout;
- door access, steps, floor characteristics;
- seats dimension and clearance;
- interior cab lighting;
- emergency exit;
- marking and labelling.
This part of EN 16186 series applies to driver’s cabs of Electrical Multiple Unit (EMU), Diesel Multiple unit (DMU), Railcars, Locomotives and Driving trailers (Driving Coaches).
NOTE 1 This European Standard applies to rolling stock in the scope of the Directive 2008/57/EC [6].
For OTMs, see EN 14033-1 [12] and EN 15746-1 [18].
This part of EN 16186 applies to driver's desks installed on the left, on the right, or in a central position in the driver’s cab. Due to cab space and resulting desk integration constraints, desk layout can vary.
NOTE 2 Due to railway systems constraints, the level of comfort and accessibility provided to the persons outside the anthropometric range defined in EN 16186-1 may vary. Usually the operators manage the potential restrictions, if the driver uses extreme seat positions combined with extreme body heights.
This standard is not intended to be applicable for tramways, metro and light rail vehicles.

La présente partie de l'EN 16186 s'applique aux pupitres de conduite, qu'ils soient installés à gauche, à droite ou au centre dans la cabine de conduite. L'agencement du pupitre de conduite peut varier selon l'espace disponible dans la cabine et les contraintes d'intégration qui en résultent.
NOTE 2 En raison des contraintes des systèmes ferroviaires, le niveau de confort et d'accessibilité fourni aux personnes situées en dehors de la plage de données anthropométriques définie dans l'EN 16186-1 peut varier. Habituellement, les opérateurs parviennent à gérer les restrictions éventuelles si le conducteur de taille extrême utilise les positions extrêmes du siège.
La présente Norme européenne ne s'applique pas aux tramways, métros et autres véhicules ferroviaires légers.
Železniške naprave - Voznikova kabina - 4. del: Postavitev in dostop
Ta evropski standard določa pravila oblikovanja in smernice za zagotovitev ustreznega dostopa do voznikove kabine, razsvetljave v njej, sedeža in izstopa iz nje. Različne dimenzije temeljijo na antropometričnih podatkih, opredeljenih v standardu EN 16186-1. V ta standard so vključene tudi ustrezne metode ocenjevanja. Zajema naslednje vidike:
– dimenzije in notranjo postavitev;
– dostop do vrat, stopnice, značilnosti tal;
– dimenzije in prostornina sedežev;
– notranja osvetlitev kabine;
– izhod v sili;
– označevanje in etiketiranje.
Ta del skupine standardov EN 16186 se uporablja za voznikove kabine električnih vlečnih vozil (EMU), dizelskih vlečnih vozil (DMU), vagonov, lokomotiv in vlečnih prikolic (vlečnih vagonov).
OPOMBA 1: Ta evropski standard se uporablja za tirna vozila, ki spadajo na področje Direktive 2008/57/ES [6].
Za tirna vozila glejte standarda EN 14033-1 [12] in EN 15746-1 [18].
Ta del standarda EN 16186 se uporablja za voznikove mize, ki so nameščene na levi ali desni strani ali sredi voznikove kabine. Zaradi prostora v kabini in posledičnih omejitev pri vgradnji miz se lahko postavitve miz razlikujejo.
OPOMBA 2: Zaradi omejitev železniških sistemov se raven udobja in dostopnosti za osebe zunaj opredeljenega antropometričnega razpona, določenega v standardu EN 16186-1, lahko razlikuje. Običajno upravljavci obvladujejo morebitne omejitve, če izjemno visok voznik uporablja skrajne položaje sedeža.
Ta standard se ne uporablja za tramvaje, metroje in lahka železniška vozila.

1 Scope
This document gives design rules and requirements in order to ensure proper access, lighting, seating
and exit of the driver’s cab. The different dimensions are based on the anthropometric data defined in
EN 16186-1. The corresponding assessment methods are also included in this standard. It covers the
following aspects:
— dimension and interior layout;
— door access, steps, floor characteristics;
— seats dimension and clearance;
— interior cab lighting;
— emergency exit;
— marking and labelling.
This part of the EN 16186 series applies to driver’s cabs of Electrical Multiple Unit (EMU), Diesel
Multiple Unit (DMU), Railcars, Locomotives and Driving trailers (Driving Coaches).
NOTE 1 This European Standard applies to rolling stock in the scope of Directive 2008/57/EC [6].
This part of the EN 16186 series applies to driver's desks installed on the left, on the right, or in a
central position in the driver’s cab. Due to cab space and resulting desk integration constraints, desk
layout can vary.
NOTE 2 Due to railway systems constraints, the level of comfort and accessibility provided to the persons
outside the anthropometric range defined in EN 16186-1 may vary. Usually the operators manage the potential
restrictions, if the driver uses the full range of seat positions (as defined in this standard) combined with extreme
body dimensions (as defined in EN 16186-1).
This document is not intended to be applicable for OTMs, tramways, metro and light rail vehicles.
NOTE 3 For OTMs, see EN 14033-1 [11] and EN 15746-1 [17].

---------------------- Page: 10 ----------------------
SIST EN 16186-4:2019
EN 16186-4:2019 (E)
The driver’s cab and its access shall be designed so that the train crew is able to prevent the cab being
accessed by non-authorized persons, whether the cab is occupied or not. This requirement is deemed to
be fulfilled by a locking system.
A cab door locking system shall permit to open any cab door from inside the cab without using any tool
or key.
Egress and access to the driver’s cab shall be possible without any energy supply.
5.1.1.2 Door handles
Driver’s cab internal door handles which are intended to be operated from a standing position shall be
located at a height between 820 mm and 1 200 mm (distance between the rotation point of the handle
and the cab floor). The recommended value for the height of the door handles is 850 mm.
5.1.1.3 Threshold
The height of door threshold shall not be more than:
— 20 mm from the walkable floor for interior doors excluding locomotives;
— 70 mm from the walkable floor for interior doors of locomotives;
— 60 mm from the walkable floor for exterior doors.
5.1.1.4 Ergonomics

maximal construction gauge shall be used to its full extent. This reduction due to the gauge calculation
shall keep a minimum clearance width of 280 mm in the upper area (see Figure B.2).
Cab external doors shall not open unintentionally. External cab doors should have at least two stable
positions: fully open and closed.
5.1.3 Internal doors giving access to the driver's cab
If internal doors lead directly to the passenger area, a device to look from inside the cab shall be
provided, (e.g. by a spy hole).
If direct view from passenger area into cab is possible, the driver should be able to prevent such view,
e.g. by blinds.
Internal doors shall have a rectangular-like minimum unobstructed passage height and passage width
of 1 700 mm × 430 mm. Internal doors should have a rectangular-like minimum unobstructed passage
height and passage width of 1 950 mm (height) × 600 mm (width).
Internal doors which are positioned left or right of the vehicle's longitudinal axis and open in
longitudinal direction may have a trapezium shaped upper area with an angle of the top outer side
(see Figure B.3). In order to achieve a maximum passage width in the angled upper area of the door, the
maximal construction gauge shall be used as a common basis. This reduction due to the gauge
calculation shall keep a minimum clearance width of 280 mm in the upper area.
5.2 Floor and flooring
5.2.1 Floor surface criteria
Walkable floor surfaces shall be slip resistant.
This is deemed to be fulfilled by applying the requirements of CEN/TS 16165, α ≥ 9°.

due to an applied load of 1 300 N on a surface of maximum 600 cm . This can be demonstrated by
calculation or by test.
NOTE No reference to EN 15663 is given, because the load is associated to the stiffness of the floor and not to
the load calculation for the vehicle.
5.2.2 Inclination, steps and slopes
The walkable floor of the driver's working area (access to the cab and foot rest excluded) shall be
without any steps. Height changes > 4 mm per 100 mm length are not permitted on the walkable cab
floor of the driver's working area. They are permitted between the cab and adjacent compartments.
Height changes of interior walkable floors between the cab and adjacent compartments ≤ 60 mm shall
be achieved by a sloping walkable floor. Height changes > 60 mm and < 120 mm should be avoided.

---------------------- Page: 13 ----------------------
SIST EN 16186-4:2019
EN 16186-4:2019 (E)
Height changes ≥ 120 mm shall be achieved by steps which shall have a height h with
120mm ≤ h ≤ 250mm and a depth of ≥ 210 mm. If more than one step is used the depth of the steps
shall be ≥ 270 mm. If there are two or more steps, a handhold (e.g. a handrail or a single handle) should
be provided.
Height changes > 60 mm and < 120 mm should be avoided (if not a single step should be added).
Where the change of height is achieved by a sloping walkable floor, the minimum length of the walkable
slope shall be 300 mm.
Steps immediately adjacent to slopes shall be prohibited.
Sealing plates of door frames and maintenance openings are not considered as being a floor irregularity.
5.3 Windows

Introduction
This part of EN 16186 addresses design rules and requirements for the layout and design of the driver's
cab considering operational requirements for train driving, shunting and related preparatory work as
far as driver’s cab interfaces are concerned. It provides current cab design principles and considers
latest available research findings provided by the European Research project EUDD+ [37][37].
If a requirement contains an option, the choice of this option is purely up to the applicant.

1 Scope
This European standard gives design rules and guidance in order to ensure proper access, lighting;
seating and exit of the driver’s cab. The different dimensions are based on the anthropometric data
defined in EN 16186-1. The corresponding assessment methods are also included in this standard. It
covers the following aspects:
— dimension and interior layout;
— door access, steps, floor characteristics;
— seats dimension and clearance;
— interior cab lighting;
— emergency exit;
— marking and labelling.
This part of EN 16186 applies to driver’s cabs of Electrical Multiple Unit (EMU), Diesel Multiple Unit
(DMU), Railcars, Locomotives and Driving trailers (Driving Coaches).
NOTE 1 This European standard applies to rolling stock in the scope of the Directive 2008/57/EC [6].
For OTMs, see EN 14033-1 [12] and EN 15746-1 [18].
This part of EN 16186 applies to driver's desks installed on the left, on the right, or in a central position
in the driver’s cab. Due to cab space and resulting desk integration constraints, desk layout can vary.
NOTE 2 Due to railway systems constraints, the level of comfort and accessibility provided to the persons
outside the anthropometric range defined in EN 16186–1 may vary. Usually the operators manage the potential
restrictions, if the driver uses extreme seat positions combined with extreme body heights.
This standard is not intended to be applicable for tramways, metro and light rail vehicles.

gauge shall be used to its full extent. This reduction due to the gauge shall keep a minimum clearance
width of 280 mm in the upper area.
5.2 Floor and flooring
5.2.1 Floor surface criteria
Walkable floor surfaces shall be slip resistant.
This is deemed to be fulfilled by applying the requirements of CEN/TS 16165.
For minimizing the tripping hazard, the walkable floor of the cab, except for the area up to a maximum
of 25 mm from the walls and for the space under the desk, shall be level.
Figure 2 — Admissible irregularities
This is deemed to be fulfilled by the following criteria:
— on a level track, the walkable floor shall be horizontal with a tolerance of ± 2° except for the
walkable floor areas determined to changes of height, and;
— no irregularity on the walkable floor shall protrude by more than 5 mm.
Door thresholds and foot operated operational elements are not considered as being a floor irregularity.
5.2.2 Inclination, steps and slopes
Height changes > 4 mm per 100 mm length are not permitted on the walkable cab floor; they are
permitted between the cab and adjacent compartments.
Height changes of interior walkable floors between the cab and adjacent compartments ≤ 60 mm shall
be achieved by a sloping walkable floor. Height changes > 60 mm and < 120 mm should be avoided.
Height changes ≥ 120 mm shall be achieved by steps which shall have a height ≥ 120 mm and ≤ 250 mm
and a depth ≥ 270 mm.

In all cases, the emergency exit shall provide a minimum clearance of 2 000 cm with a minimum inner
dimension of 400 mm to allow the release of trapped persons.
5.4.1.2 Minimum escape area
An exit shall give access to an area of a minimum length of 2 m, of a minimum clearance of height 1
700 mm x width 430 mm. This area and its floor shall be free of any obstruction; the above area shall be
located on-board the unit, and can be an interior area or an area opened to the outside. A single step is
not considered as an obstruction.
This clearance of height 1 700 mm × width 430 mm shall also be provided from the seat position to the
exit. For requirements for high speed trains see 6.2.2.
The above requirements do not apply to central cab locomotives.
5.4.1.3 Emergency exit opening
For opening emergency exits, no equipment shall be required.
Driver’s cabs shall have at least one interior exit opening outwards. If there is any risk of obstruction
(baggage, passengers), the door shall be of the swing type (opening outwards and inwards) or of the
sliding type.
Interior doors opening outwards within the escape route of the driver should be provided with an
emergency bar to open the door (panic function). If provided, the following should apply:
— the panic function shall function always, irrespective of whether the door is unlocked or locked;
— if there is any risk of obstruction (baggage, passengers), the door shall open in both directions
(outwards and inwards);
— in case of an emergency door opening in one direction, it is opened outwards via pushing an
emergency push bar;
— in case of an emergency door opening in both directions the panic function shall be possible by
pushing and pulling the emergency bar for opening outwards and inwards respectively;
— the emergency bar shall cover the majority of the door width;
— in all positions of the door and the emergency bar there shall be a minimum clearance of 50 mm
