It describes the adapted algorithms and step-by-step calculations for the design of brake equipment for all types of train sets, electrical multiple units, diesel multiple units and single vehicles. SIST EN 14531-6:2009

EN 14531-6:2009 (E) 10 4 General algorithms 4.1 General algorithm to calculate stopping and slowing distances This algorithm is presented in Figure A.1 This algorithm shall be used with instantaneous values which are calculated step by step. The numerical integration shall be time based (see 5.8). A rough estimation can be based on EN 14531-1. The rough estimation shall only be used to check the results of the numerical integration. The content of each algorithm, the corresponding definitions of input values and different phases of calculation are given in Clause 5. 4.2 General algorithm to calculate immobilization brake This algorithm is presented in Figure A.2. The content of each algorithm, the corresponding definitions of input values and different phases of calculation are given in Clause 6. 5 Stopping and slowing distances calculation 5.1 Accuracy of input values The accuracy of the calculation described here depends directly on the accuracy of the input data. All the input data shall have an appropriate order of accuracy and shall be justified by tests, further calculations or engineer's estimations, etc. Corresponding calculations or test reports (or extracts of these documents) should be attached with the performance calculation. 5.2 General characteristics 5.2.1 Train formation The parameters which shall be used to define train formation are: a) quantity of motor axles; b) quantity of trailer axles; c) quantity of braked axles for each adhesion dependent brake equipment type; d) quantity of non-adhesion dependent brake equipment type. According to the braking system design, the parameters can also be defined at the level of the bogies, or of the vehicles. Calculations shall be performed for each brake equipment type. In so doing, the brake force contributions from each of the brake equipment subtypes (e.g. disc brakes, tread brakes, electrodynamic brakes) shall be taken into consideration. All of the various types of brake equipment applied to one axle shall be identified and accounted for in the calculation. NOTE 1 When there are several brake equipment types, it is preferable to identify each type (for example by means of a number: type 1, type 2, etc.). SIST EN 14531-6:2009



EN 14531-6:2009 (E) 11 When brake equipment is used on one part of the train under certain conditions and used on another part under different conditions (for example with two different cylinder pressures for the same load level), two different brake equipment types shall be considered. In such cases, the two brake equipment types shall be identified and accounted for separately in the calculation. NOTE 2 The total quantity of axles is the result of the sum of the quantity of braked and unbraked axles.
5.2.2 Vehicle and train characteristics 5.2.2.1 Static mass per axle, Static mass
When there are different “static mass per axle”, see 3.1.1, the location in the train shall be indicated. 5.2.2.2 Equivalent rotating masses Rotating mass (as defined in EN 14478) shall be calculated using a theoretical approach or an approved test method when applicable. It shall be indicated the wheel size and the relevant static mass condition which is related to the mass inertias (e.g. new wheel and tare load condition). When there are different “rotating mass per axle”, the location in the train shall be indicated. 5.2.2.3 Wheel diameters The wheel diameter is measured on the nominated line of contact with the running surface of the rail. The wheel diameter used in the emergency brake calculation shall be that of a wheel which gives the lowest deceleration (e.g. in the case of disc brakes, this would normally be the maximum wheel diameter). For checking the adhesion required, τreq , the wheel diameter used shall be that which gives the maximum adhesion required (e.g. in the case of disc brakes, this would normally be the minimum wheel diameter). If the train is equipped with different sizes of wheels, each size of wheel shall be indicated to the train composition. 5.2.2.4 Train resistance
The value of train resistance may be by analogy to another existing vehicle, or based on a specific calculation. When the values are the results of tests, the test conditions shall be similar to the expected operating conditions.
The train resistance is represented by a formula which consists of: a) one term independent of vehicle speed; b) one term proportional to the speed, dealing with the mechanical components (train and track); c) a third term proportional to a power n of the speed (aerodynamic resistance).
According to this formula the mathematical formulae that shall be applied are the following:
To obtain the instantaneous train resistance as a function of the speed: SIST EN 14531-6:2009

For the application of more usual units, the coefficients of the formula shall be adapted. The above units shall be used for the calculations purpose, but the speed can be expressed usually in km/h and the train resistance in N or kN. In this case, A, B, C are expressed in N, N/(km/h), N/(km/h)n or kN, kN/(km/h), kN/(km/h)n.
NOTE 1 A, B, and C coefficients are function of various parameters, e.g. mass, train length. Values for A, B, and C may be obtained using the test method given in EN 14067-2. NOTE 2 For a first calculation, the average train resistance to motion as detailed in EN 14531-1 may be used. EXAMPLE In all these formulae, the train resistance FRa is given in N and the instantaneous speed v in m/s. A = 4 144,9 N; B = 100,8 N/(m/s); C = 7,53 N/(m/s²). For a speed of 300 km/h corresponding to 83,3 m/s, train resistance force is: FRa = 4 144,9 + 100,8 × 83,3 + 7,53 × 83,3²; FRa = 6 4791 N. NOTE Other examples of values are given in Annex C.
5.3 Brake equipment characteristics 5.3.1 General The final result of this part is the braking force generated by each brake equipment related to the top of the rail. This clause considers the braking force generated by each brake equipment type by reference to the most common brake equipment i.e. tread and disc braking. If this equipment is not applicable, other suitable methods of brake force calculation should be adopted. SIST EN 14531-6:2009
