European foreword

This document (prEN 14067-5:2018) has been prepared by Technical Committee CEN/TC 256 “Railway

applications”, the secretariat of which is held by DIN.
This document is currently submitted to the CEN Enquiry.
This document will supersede EN 14067-5:2006+A1:2010.

This document has been prepared under a mandate given to CEN by the European Commission and the

European Free Trade Association, and supports essential requirements of EU Directive 2008/57/EC.

For relationship with EU Directive 2008/57/EC, see informative Annex ZA, which is an integral part of

this document.
EN 14067 Railway applications — Aerodynamics consists of the following parts:
— Part 1: Symbols and units;
— Part 3: Aerodynamics in tunnels;
— Part 4: Requirements and test procedures for aerodynamics on open track;
— Part 5: Requirements and test procedures for aerodynamics in tunnels;
— Part 6: Requirements and test procedures for cross wind assessment.

The results of the EU-funded research project “AeroTRAIN” (Grant Agreement No. 233985) have been

used.

The contents of the previous edition of EN 14067-5 have been integrated in this document; they have

been re-structured and extended to support the Technical Specifications for the Interoperability of the

Trans-European rail system. Requirements on conformity assessment for rolling stock were added.

1 Scope

This document establishes requirements, test procedures, assessment methods and acceptance criteria

for aerodynamics in tunnels and rolling stock in tunnels. Topics of aerodynamic pressures and loadings,

aerodynamic resistance and micro-pressure waves are addressed.

Requirements for rolling stock with operating speeds equal to or above 200 km/h are provided for

pressures generated in tunnel operation. Requirements for infrastructure with design speeds above

160 km/h or high blockage ratio or tunnels longer than 12 km are provided for pressures generated in

tunnel operation. These requirements are not applicable to light rail and urban rail.

This document is applicable to all railway vehicles and infrastructure with track gauges from 1 435 mm

to 1 668 mm inclusive.

3.4
exceptional loads

maximum loads occurring occasionally during normal operations due to both static and transient loads

3.5
fatigue loads

very large number of dynamic and aerodynamic loads of varying magnitude that the structures of rail

vehicle bodies or infrastructure components are subjected to during their operational life

3.6
static loads
loads that are constant or nearly constant with time

Note 1 to entry: These loads include the dynamic pressure due to the airflow acceleration around the front of

the train and pressure changes caused by strong side winds.
3.7
transient loads
loads that vary in time
Note 1 to entry: Transient loads can be divided into three kinds:

a) loads caused by trains running in the open air, due to the pressure field around the train;

b) loads caused by trains travelling alone or crossing with other trains in tunnels;

c) loads that arise due to the turbulent nature of the flow around trains.

Note 2 to entry: Loads a) and b) are relevant for all train structures, but loads c) may be only relevant for some

high speed train components and are not considered in this standard.
3.8
tunnel

excavation or a construction around the track provided to allow the railway to pass through, for

example, higher land, buildings or water

Note 1 to entry: A tunnel in the context of this standard has a length greater than 100 m.

3.9
tunnel length

length of a tunnel is defined as the length of the fully enclosed section, measured centrally at rail level

3.10
tunnel cross-sectional area (for blockage ratio)

free cross-sectional area of a tunnel not including ballast rail, sleepers, longitudinal piping, platform

3.11
