EN 14067-4:2013 (E) 5 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, is an important interface parameter between the subsystems of rolling stock, infrastructure and operation and, thus, is subject to regulation when specifying the trans-European railway system. Trains running on open track have to overcome a resistance to motion which has a strong effect on the required engine power, achievable speed, travel time and energy consumption. Thus, resistance to motion is often subject to contractual agreements and requires standardized test and assessment methods. SIST EN 14067-4:2014

In order to describe and to limit the train-induced aerodynamic pressure loads beside the track one reference case for rolling stock assessment is defined.
4.1.2 Requirements 4.1.2.1 Reference case For standard GA, GB, GC gauge according to EN 15273 in the absence of embankments, cuttings and other significant trackside structures the undisturbed pressure field generated by a passing train at a position of 2,50 m distance from the centre of a straight track with standard track formation profile is referred to as the reference case. The pressure variations occurring are characterized by the upper bound of the 95 % confidence interval for the maximum peak-to-peak pressure. This maximum peak-to-peak pressure change, ∆p95%, refers to the maximum pressure change which occurs during the passage of the train head. 4.1.2.2 Fixed or pre-defined train compositions A fixed or pre-defined train composition, running at the reference speed in the reference case scenario shall not cause the maximum peak-to-peak pressure changes to exceed a value ∆p95%,max as set out in Table 2 SIST EN 14067-4:2014



EN 14067-4:2013 (E) 11 over the range of heights 1,50 m to 3,00 m above the top of rail during the passage of the train head. For non-identical end cars the requirement applies for each possible running direction.

The range of heights to be considered are 1,50 m to 3,00 m above the top of rail during the passage of the front end of this unit. For single rolling stock units capable of bidirectional operation as a leading vehicle the requirement applies for each possible running direction. 4.1.2.4 Other passenger rolling stock For passenger rolling stock which is not covered in 4.1.2.2 or 4.1.2.3 there is no requirement. 4.1.3 Full conformity assessment A full conformity assessment of interoperable rolling stock shall be undertaken according to Table 3. Table 3 — Methods applicable for the full conformity assessment of rolling stock Maximum design speed
Methods vtr ≤ 160 km/h No assessment needed 160 km/h < vtr
Assessment by:  full-scale tests according to 6.1.2.1; or  reduced-scale moving model tests according to 6.1.2.2; or  CFD simulations according to 6.1.2.4. 4.1.4 Simplified conformity assessment A simplified conformity assessment may be carried out for rolling stock that are subject to minor design differences in comparison to rolling stock for which a full conformity assessment already exists. With respect to pressure variations beside the track, the only relevant design differences are differences in external geometry and differences in design speed. This simplified conformity assessment shall take one of the following forms in accordance with Table 4:  a statement and rationale that the design differences have no impact on the pressure variations beside the track; SIST EN 14067-4:2014

EN 14067-4:2013 (E) 13 4.2 Limitation of slipstream effects beside the track 4.2.1 General A train generates a varying flow field beside the track which has an effect on persons and objects at the track side and at platforms. In order to define a clear interface between the subsystems of the rolling stock and the infrastructure, the train-induced slipstream effects need to be known and limited. In order to describe and to limit the train-induced slipstream effects, a reference case for rolling stock assessment is defined. NOTE Ensuring track workers' and passengers' safety at the platform involves additional issues on the operational and infrastructure side. 4.2.2 Requirements 4.2.2.1 Reference case For standard GA, GB, GC gauges according to EN 15273, in the absence of embankments, cuttings and any significant trackside structures, the undisturbed flowfield generated by a passing train at a position of 3,00 m from the centre of a straight track with standard track formation profile is referred to as the reference case. The air flows occurring are characterized by the upper bound of the 95 % confidence interval of maximum resultant horizontal air speeds. This maximum horizontal air speed U95% refers to the whole passage of the train and its wake. 4.2.2.2 Fixed or pre-defined train compositions A full-length, fixed or pre-defined train composition, running at reference speed in the reference case scenario shall not cause the maximum resultant horizontal air speed to exceed a value U95%,max as set out in Table 5 at a height of 0,20 m above the top of rail during the passage of the whole train and its wake. For non-symmetrical train compositions, the requirement applies for each possible running direction. For fixed or pre-defined train compositions consisting of more than one train unit, it is sufficient to assess a train composition consisting at least of two units and of a minimum length of 120 m.

EN 14067-4:2013 (E) 14 4.2.2.3 Single rolling stock units fitted with a driver’s cab A single unit fitted with a driver's cab running at reference speed in the reference case scenario shall not cause the maximum resultant horizontal air speed to exceed a value U95%,max as set out in Table 5 at heights of 0,20 m and 1,40 m above the top of rail during the passage of the whole train and its wake. Conformity shall be assessed for units at the front and rear of a rake of passenger carriages of at least 100 m in length. Assessments shall be carried out with either one unit, or with two identical units, one at the front and one at the rear of the train. The carriages should be comprised of those likely to be used in operational conditions. The requirement applies for each possible running direction.
4.2.2.4 Other passenger rolling stock Carriages that are operated within trains of different formations are compliant, if similar to existing or proven compliant single rolling stock with respect to:  design speed (lower or equal to existing); and  bogie external arrangement (position, cavity and bogie envelope); and  train envelope (i.e. body width, height) changes above the bogies of less than 10 cm. The similarity and compliance for this approach shall be documented! If this criterion does not apply, the coach running at reference speed in the reference case scenario shall not cause the maximum resultant horizontal air speed to exceed a value U95%,max as set out in Table 5 at heights of 0,20 m and 1,40 m above the top of rail during the passage of the whole train and its wake. It should be tested in two configurations with the rolling stock likely to be used in operatio

Foreword
This document (prEN 14067-4:2011) 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 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(s).
For relationship with EU Directive(s), see informative Annex ZA, which is an integral part of this document.
This document supersedes EN 14067-4:2005+A1:2009.
EN 14067-2 has been integrated in this document, and EN 14067-4 has been re-structured and extended to
support the Technical Specifications for the Interoperability of the Trans-European rail system [2 to 4].
EN 14067 Railway applications — Aerodynamics consists of the following parts:
 Part 1: Symbols and units
 Part 2: Aerodynamics on open track
 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
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, is
an important interface parameter between the subsystems of rolling stock, infrastructure and operation and,
thus, is subject to regulation when specifying the trans-European railway system.
Trains running on open track have to overcome a resistance to motion which has a strong effect on the
required engine power, achievable speed, travel time and energy consumption. Thus, resistance to motion is
often subject to contractual agreements and requires standardised test and assessment methods.

4 Requirements on interoperable locomotives and passenger rolling stock
4.1 Limitation of pressure variations beside the track
4.1.1 General
A passing train generates a varying pressure field beside the track which has an effect on objects such as
crossing trains, noise barriers, platform installations etc. In order to define a clear interface between the
subsystems of rolling stock and infrastructure, the train-induced aerodynamic pressure loads beside the track
need to be known and limited.
In order to describe and to limit the train-induced aerodynamic pressure loads beside the track one reference
case for rolling stock assessment is defined.
4.1.2 Requirements
4.1.2.1 Reference case
For standard GA, GB, GC gauge according to EN 15273 in the absence of any other objects the undisturbed
pressure field generated by a passing train at a position of 2,50 m distance from the centre of a straight track
with standard track formation profile is referred is to as the reference case. The vertical distance between the
top of rail and the surrounding ground level shall not exceed 1,00 m.
The pressure variations occurring are characterised by the upper bound of the 95 % confidence interval for
the maximum peak-to-peak pressure. This maximum peak-to-peak pressure change ∆p refers to the
95%
maximum pressure change within the relevant load cycle which occurs during the passage of the train head.

4.1.2.2 Fixed or pre-defined train compositions
A fixed or pre-defined train composition, running at the reference speed on open track shall not cause the
maximum peak-to-peak pressure changes to exceed a value ∆p as set out in Table 2 over the range of
95%,max
heights 1,50 m to 3,30 m above the top of rail during the passage of the front end of the leading vehicle. For
non-identical end cars the requirement applies for each possible running direction.

4.1.4 Simplified conformity assessment
A simplified conformity assessment may be carried out for rolling stock that are subject to minor design
differences in comparison to rolling stock for which a full conformity assessment already exists.
With respect to pressure variations beside the track, the only relevant design differences are differences in
external geometry and differences in design speed.
This simplified conformity assessment will take one of the following forms:
 a statement that the design differences have no impact on the pressure variations beside the track;
 a comparative evaluation of the design differences relevant to the rolling stock for which a full conformity
assessment already exists.

4.2 Limitation of slipstream effects beside the track
4.2.1 General
A passing train generates a varying flow field beside the track which has an effect on persons and objects at
the track side and at platforms passed by. In order to define a clear interface between the subsystems of
rolling stock and infrastructure the train-induced slipstream effects need to be known and limited.
In order to describe and to limit the train-induced slipstream effects two reference cases for rolling stock
assessment are defined.
4.2.2 Requirements
4.2.2.1 Reference cases
For standard GA, GB, GC gauge according to EN 15273, the reference cases are:
 Case 1: the undisturbed flowfield generated by a passing train in the absence of any other objects at a
position of 3 m distance from the centre of a straight track with standard track formation profile. The
10

vertical distance between the top of rail and the surrounding ground level shall be within the range of
0,50 m to 1,00 m.
 Case 2: the undisturbed flowfield generated by a passing train in the absence of any other objects on a
platform at a position of 3 m distance from the centre of straight track. The assessment shall either be
made on a platform of height 240 mm above rail level or lower if one is available or the applicant shall
select the lowest height of platform passed by the train to be used for the assessment.
The air flows occurring are characterised by the upper bound of the 95 % confidence interval of maximum
horizontal air speeds. This maximum horizontal air speed U refers to the whole passage of the train and its
95%
wake.
4.2.2.2 Fixed or pre-defined train compositions
A full-length, fixed or pre-defined train composition, running at reference speed on a straight track with
standard track formation profile on open track shall not cause the maximum horizontal air speed to exceed a
value U as set out in Table 6 at a height of 0,20 m above the top of rail during the passage of the
