Railway applications - Driver's cab - Part 1: Visibility, layout, access

This standard defines:
Anthropometric measurements of the driver (referred as mandatory in the TSI)
General design rules for access to the cab (for conformity assessment)
Front visibility conditions, including positions of signals to be considered (referred to as mandatory in the TSI)
Assessment methods for TSI requirements on layout of the cab and accessibility of equipment and controls

Bahnanwendungen - Führerraum - Teil 1: Sichtbedingungen, Gestaltung, Zugang

Diese Norm gilt für interoperable Fahrzeuge im konventionellen und Hochgeschwindigkeitsverkehr, die mit einem Führerraum ausgestattet sind. Soweit es um Nebenfahrzeuge (OTM) geht, gilt die Norm nur für das Fahren und nicht für das Arbeiten. Diese Norm definiert: ⎯ anthropometrische Daten (Körpermaße) des Eisenbahnfahrzeugführers (auf die in der TSI 3) als obligatorisch verwiesen wird); ⎯ allgemeine Regeln für die Gestaltung und den Zugang zum Führerraum (für die Konformitätsbewertung); ⎯ Sichtbedingungen nach vorn, einschließlich Berücksichtigung der Streckensignale (auf die in der TSI als obligatorisch verwiesen wird); ⎯ Bewertungsmethoden für TSI-Vorgaben zu Fragen der Gestaltung des Führerraums und des Zugangs zu Ausrüstungsgegenständen und Bedienelementen. Aufgrund von Beschränkungen für Eisenbahnsysteme kann der Komfort, der den Personen innerhalb des definierten anthropometrischen Bereichs geboten wird, wegen extremer Höhenmaße variieren. Personen außerhalb des anthropometrischen Bereichs könnten Komforteinschränkungen haben. ANMERKUNG Personen außerhalb anthropometrischen Bereichs werden durch die Sicherheitsmanagementsysteme des Schienenfahrzeugbetreibers erfasst. Diese Norm gilt für Führertische, die rechts, links oder mittig im Führerraum eingebaut sind. Aufgrund der Führerraumfläche und bedingt durch Beschränkungen bei der Integration des Führertischs kann die Gestaltung des Führertischs abhängig von der Position unterschiedlich sein.

Applications ferroviaires - Cabines d'opérateur - Partie 1: Visibilité, layout, accès

La présente partie de la Norme européenne EN 16186 s'applique aux cabines de conduite du matériel roulant interopérable.
La présente partie de de la Norme européenne EN 16186 s’applique aux pupitres du conducteur, qu’ils soient installés à gauche, à droite ou à une position centrale à l'intérieur de la cabine de conduite.
En ce qui concerne le matériel de maintenance et de construction de la voie (OTM), voir l’EN 14033-1 [2] et l’EN 15746-1 [3].
La présente partie de la Norme européenne EN 16186 définit :
-   les données anthropométriques ;
-   les conditions de visibilité depuis la cabine de conduite, comprenant les conditions de visibilité avant et les positions des systèmes de signalisation latérale devant être considérés ;
-   les méthodes d'évaluation.
NOTE   En raison des contraintes des systèmes ferroviaires, le niveau de visibilité fourni aux personnes ne s’inscrivant pas à l’intérieur de la plage anthropométrique définie, peut varier. Habituellement les opérateurs gèrent l’éventuelle restriction de la visibilité avant, si un conducteur de taille extrême utilise les positions extrêmes du siège.
L'aptitude professionnelle des conducteurs en ce qui concerne la visibilité, savoir si les conducteurs sont à l’intérieur ou en dehors de la plage de données anthropométriques de cette norme, est en dehors du domaine d’application de ce document.

EN 16186-1:2014 (E) 3 Foreword This document (EN 16186-1:2014) has been prepared by Technical Committee CEN/TC 256 “Railway applications”, the secretariat of which is held by DIN. This European Standard shall be given the status of a national standard, either by publication of an identical text or by endorsement, at the latest by June 2015 and conflicting national standards shall be withdrawn at the latest by June 2015. Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of patent rights. CEN [and/or CENELEC] shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights. 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 [1]. For relationship with EU Directive 2008/57/EC, see informative Annex ZA, which is an integral part of this document. EN 16186, Railway applications — Driver’s cab consists of the following parts: — Part 1: Anthropometric data and visibility; — Part 2: Integration of displays, controls and indicators; — Part 3: Design of displays. According to the CEN-CENELEC Internal Regulations, the national standards organizations of the following countries are bound to implement this European Standard: Austria, Belgium, Bulgaria, Croatia, Cyprus, Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Iceland, Ireland, Italy, Latvia, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Malta, Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Romania, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, Turkey and the United Kingdom. SIST EN 16186-1:2015



EN 16186-1:2014 (E) 4 1 Scope This part of EN 16186 applies to driver’s cabs of interoperable rolling stock. 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. For OTMs, see EN 14033-1 [2] and EN 15746-1 [3]. This part of EN 16186 defines: — anthropometric data; — visibility conditions from the driver's cab, including forward visibility and the reference positions of line-side signals to be considered; — assessment methods. NOTE Due to railway systems constraints the level of visibility provided to the persons outside the defined anthropometric range may vary. Usually the operators manage the potential restriction of front visibility, if the driver uses extreme seat positions combined with extreme body heights. The occupational aptitude of drivers regarding visibility, whether drivers are in or outside the range of anthropometric data of this standard is outside the scope of this document. 2 Normative references The following documents, in whole or in part, are normatively referenced in this document and are indispensable for its application.

EN 16186-1:2014 (E) 8 5 Forward visibility 5.1 General For the seated driving position the forward visibility requirements of 5.2.1 shall be ensured (see also Annex A and Annex B). The horizontal distance from the driver's eye to the windscreen in seated position shall be a minimum of 500 mm and an absolute maximum of 1 715 mm. It is recommended to have a maximum of 1 500 mm. The sightlines as defined in 5.2.1 shall not be infringed by any permanent equipment of the rolling stock, whether inside or outside the cab. 5.2 Forward visibility requirements 5.2.1 General This applies for all units equipped with a cab. For rolling stock which are not covered by the Directive 2008/57/EC, other requirements may apply. NOTE In this case, for Ireland and UK, the Annex C applies. The forward visibility for the driver from the normal seated position is covered by the following assessment based on standard reference points and on a vehicle in design mass under normal payload conditions on a straight and level track. The reference points (see Annex A) shall be: — high reference point: positioned at a height of 6,30 m above the top of rail at a distance of 10 m from the front plane of the buffer or automatic coupler or the most external leading point of the vehicle and positioned laterally right and left from the straight track axis at a distance of 3,50 m; and — low reference point: positioned at top of rail level at a distance of 15 m from the front plane of the buffer or automatic coupler or the most external leading point of the vehicle and positioned laterally right and left from the straight track axis at a distance of 3,15 m. The position of the eye points shall be defined by using Figure B.1 for fixed foot rest only or Figure B.2 for fixed seat only or Figure B.3 for seat and foot rest both vertically adjustable. In case of Figure B.3, the eye points of the small driver are covered by the method defined for the tall driver as defined below: The demonstration of forward visibility shall be done based on a drawing with theoretical lines of sight: — to the high reference points, from the mid-point (Point A) between the tall driver's eyes; — to the low reference points, from a check-point (Point B) vertically below this mid-point at a vertical distance that shall be at least 115 mm and should be 190 mm. As an exception for high-speed trains with a front windscreen inclined less than 35° from the horizontal, the vertical distance for Point B may be reduced to 100 mm. It is recommended that the minimum longitudinal distance at which low reference points are visible should be reduced. In the case of using Figure B.1 or Figure B.2, the demonstration of forward visibility shall be performed from a point mid-way between the driver's eyes for both the small and the tall drivers' positions. SIST EN 16186-1:2015



EN 16186-1:2014 (E) 9 The height of the above mid-point between the eyes applied in the demonstration of vertical forward visibility shall apply also for lateral forward visibility. With this assessment all effects like track curvature, track geometry and vehicle conditions are completely covered, i.e. no additional requirements resulting from those effects shall apply. 5.2.2 Particular cases For vehicles with centre gangway the lateral forward visibility may be demonstrated only on one side. For vehicles with central cab the lateral forward visibility for the low reference point may be demonstrated only for the side of the driver's seat, if the movement of the driver in the cab for seeing the low reference point on the other side is not hindered while driving. 5.3 Windscreen requirements 5.3.1 General Windscreen characteristics are defined by EN 15152. The projection area of the windscreen (vision area A plus vision area B) on a vertical plane shall have a minimum height of 600 mm and a minimum width of 800 mm. For split windscreen (associated with lateral desk) the width may be reduced to 750 mm. For centre gangway cabs, the minimum width of the projection area shall be 580 mm. The minimum height of the upper limit of the transparent windscreen shall be 1 810 mm above cab floor. No permanent equipment shall infringe this limit. For train sets (defined in TSI) with a windscreen inclined by less than 35° from the horizontal or train sets with maximum design speed greater than 190 km/h, a lower value of the upper limit of the transparent windscreen is permitted. 5.3.2 Windscreen cleaning devices The location and function of windscreen cleaning and clearance devices shall ensure the external view according to this European Standard in most weather and operating conditions. This is deemed to be fulfilled by provision of cleaning and clearance devices as defined in this standard. Cleaning and clearance devices shall not permanently inhibit the driver's external view. The applicable classes as defined in EN 50125-1 [6] shall be defined in the technical specification. The wiped area shall cover at least 80 % of vision area A. It is recommended to wipe the upper middle zone and the bottom corner zones of vision area A. If the wiping device is switched off and the cab is activated, the wiper blade shall be outside vision area A (the park position). The wiper shall provide at least two different wiping speeds. There shall be a windscreen washing device under control of the driver from inside the cab. Fluid windscreen washing detergents shall be usable by this device. During windscreen washing and for two to four cycles after the washing jets have stopped, wiping shall automatically be applied. SIST EN 16186-1:2015



EN 16186-1:2014 (E) 10 5.3.3 Windscreen sun protection A sun protection device shall be provided without affecting the forward visibility in its stowed position. The position of the sun protection device shall be continuously adjustable and shall not change any adjusted position unintentionally. If the protection depends on an external energy supply, it shall also allow manual adjustment. If transparent panels are used for sun protection, they shall comply with the chromaticity requirements set out in EN 15152. The sun protection device, if not transparent, should have a heat-reflective surface facing outwards. In case of sun protection for additional use of preventing the cab from solar radiation, the following shall apply: For cabs with a windscreen inclined by more than 35° from the horizontal, the combination of fixed desk equipment from the bottom and sun protection from the top shall cover at least 90 % of the projection on a vertical plane of the vision areas A and B. For other cabs, it shall be at least 70 %. 5.3.4 Windscreen de-icing and de-misting The windscreen shall be equipped with de-icing and de-misting devices. Heating for the windscreen shall include

Applications”, the secretariat of which is held by DIN.
This document is currently submitted to the CEN Enquiry.

Introduction
This European Standard addresses operational requirements for train driving, shunting and related
preparatory work as far as mechanical driver’s cab interfaces are concerned. It provides current cab design
principles and considers latest available research findings provided by the European Research project
1)
EUDD+ .
The structure of this standard is based on the functional breakdown structure for railway vehicles as laid down
in FprEN 15380-4. This approach was chosen because it enables defining functional requirements without
necessarily setting requirements on the function carrier, which is advantageous in the case of different
technical solutions addressing the same functional requirement, and because it facilitates the management of
requirements for the partners in the railway sector.
Requirements that are specific for a dedicated technical product are provided as system requirements
2)
following a system breakdown structure for the cab derived from the Commission Decision 2009/965/EC .
Each requirement is tagged by a REQ number as a unique identifier and sometimes by a keyword.
The function groups according to FprEN 15380-4 form Clause 4 and its sub-clauses of this standard. Since
not all functions are addressed by requirements in the scope of this standard, the clause numbers do not fully
represent the FBS structure. Therefore, the FBS number is given in brackets in the clause title.
1 Scope
This standard applies to conventional and high speed interoperable rolling stock with driver’s cab. As far as
OTMs are concerned, the standard applies only for driving configuration and not for working mode.

This standard defines:
3)
 anthropometric measurements of the driver (referred as mandatory in the TSI );
 general design rules for layout and access to the cab (for conformity assessment);
 front visibility conditions, including positions of line-side signals to be considered (referred to as
mandatory in the TSI);
 assessment methods for TSI requirements on layout of the cab and accessibility of equipment and
controls.
Due to railway systems constraints the level of comfort provided to the persons within the defined
anthropometric range may vary for the extremes in height. Persons outside the anthropometric range may
face some discomfort.
NOTE Persons outside the anthropometric range are covered by the operators’ safety management systems.
The standard applies to driver 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 design can vary between left, right or
central position.
