Railway applications - Gauges - Part 1: General - Common rules for infrastructure and rolling stock

This European Standard is applicable to authorities involved in railway operation and may also be applied for light vehicles (e.g. trams, metros, etc. running on two rails) and their associated infrastructure, but not for
systems such as rail-guided buses. It allows rolling stock and infrastructures to be dimensioned and their compliance to be checked relative to applicable gauging rules. For rolling stock and infrastructure, this standard is applicable to new designs, to modifications and to the checking of vehicles and infrastructures already in use.
This document EN 15273-1 covers:
- the general principles;
- the various elements and phenomena affecting the determination of gauges;
- the various calculation methods applicable to the elements shared by the infrastructure and by the rolling stock;
- the sharing rules for elements taken into account in calculations specific to the infrastructure and to the rolling stock;
- a catalogue of European gauges.
This document does not cover:
- conditions to be met to ensure safety of passengers on platforms and of persons required to walk along the tracks;
- conditions to be met by the fixed equipment maintenance machines in active position;
- the space to be cleared for the running track of rubber-tyred metros and other vehicles;
- rules applicable to extraordinary transportation, however some formulae may be used;
- rules applicable to the design of the overhead contact line system;
- rules applicable to the design of the current collection system on a third rail;
- simulation methods for the running of vehicles, however, it does not confirm the validity of existing simulations;
- verification rules of wagon loadings;
- coding methods for combined transportation;
- infrastructure gauges for very small curve radii (e.g. R < 150 m for gauge G1).

Bahnanwendungen - Begrenzungslinien - Teil 1: Allgemeines - Gemeinsame Vorschriften für Infrastruktur und Fahrzeuge

Diese Europäische Norm gilt für alle Stellen, die mit dem Eisenbahnbetrieb zu tun haben. Sie kann ebenfalls
für andere Schienenbahnsysteme (z. B. Straßenbahnen, U-Bahnen usw.), nicht jedoch für spurgebundene
Fahrzeuge und ähnliche Systeme angewendet werden.
Sie erlaubt die Dimensionierung der Fahrzeuge und der Infrastruktur und die Überprüfung der Konformität mit
den Vorschriften für die Begrenzungslinien.
Diese Europäische Norm gilt für neue und umzubauende Fahrzeuge sowie für die Überprüfung bereits im
Betrieb befindlicher Fahrzeuge und Bahnanlagen.
Das vorliegende Dokument FprEN 15273-1 behandelt:
 die allgemeinen Grundsätze;
 die verschiedenen Einflussgrößen, die bei der Bestimmung der Begrenzungslinien zu berücksichtigen
sind;
 die verschiedenen Rechenmethoden, die gleichermaßen für die Infrastruktur wie für die Fahrzeuge
anzuwenden sind;
 die Vereinbarungen für die Zuordnung der verschiedenen Einflussgrößen auf Infrastruktur und Fahrzeuge;
 einen Katalog der europäischen Begrenzungslinien.
Das vorliegende Dokument behandelt nicht:
 die Bedingungen, die im Hinblick auf die Sicherheit der Reisenden auf dem Bahnsteig und von Personen
auf dem Randweg zu berücksichtigen sind;
 die Bedingungen, die von Instandhaltungsfahrzeugen für Infrastrukturanlagen in Arbeitsstellung einzuhalten
sind;
 den Raum, der als Fahrbahn für gummibereifte Bahnfahrzeuge (U-Bahnen und andere) freizuhalten ist;
 Sendungen mit Lademaßüberschreitung, auch wenn einige Gleichungen verwendet werden können;
 die Gestaltung des Oberleitungssystems;
 die Gestaltung von Stromschienensystemen;
 Methoden zur Simulation von Schienenfahrzeugen in fahrendem Zustand; ebenso wenig dient sie dazu,
die Gültigkeit bisheriger Simulationen zu bestätigen;
 Vorschriften zur Überprüfung von Wagenladungen;
 Regeln zur Codierung für den kombinierten Verkehr;
 den Lichtraum bei sehr kleinen Gleisbogenradien (z. B.: R < 150 m bei der Begrenzungslinie G1).

Železniške naprave - Profili - 1. del: Splošno - Skupna pravila, ki se nanašajo na infrastrukturo in železniška vozila

Ta evropski standard lahko uporabljajo pristojni organi, ki so vključeni v obratovanje železnic, lahko pa se uporablja tudi za lahka vozila (npr. tramvaje, metroje itn., ki uporabljajo dva tira) in povezano infrastrukturo, vendar pa se ne uporablja za sisteme, kot so avtobusi na tirnicah. Omogoča, da se tirna vozila in infrastruktura izmeri ter da se v skladu s pravili o profilih preveri njihova ustreznost. Pri tirnih vozilih in infrastrukturi se ta standard uporablja za nove izdelke, spremembe ter preverjanje vozil in infrastrukture, ki je že v uporabi.
Ta evropski standard EN 15273-1 zajema:
– splošna načela;
– različne elemente in pojave, ki vplivajo na določanje profilov;
– različne metode računanja, ki se uporabljajo za elemente, skupne infrastrukturi in tirnim vozilom;
– pravila deljenja za elemente, ki se upoštevajo pri izračunih, specifičnih za infrastrukturo in tirna vozila;
– katalog evropskih profilov.
Ta standard ne zajema:
– pogojev, ki jih je treba izpolniti, da se zagotovi varnost potnikov na peronih in oseb, ki morajo hoditi ob tirnicah;
– pogojev, ki jih morajo izpolniti fiksne naprave za vzdrževanje opreme v aktivnem položaju;
– prostora, ki ga je treba izprazniti za prevozne tire metrojev z gumijastimi obroči in drugih vozil;
– pravil, ki se uporabljajo za posebne prevoze (nekatere formule se vseeno lahko uporabijo);
– pravil, ki se uporabljajo za načrtovanje nadzemnih sistemov kontaktnega vodnika;
– pravil, ki se uporabljajo za načrtovanje trenutnega sistema zbiranja na tretji tirnici;
– metod za simulacijo delovanja vozil, vendar standard ne potrjuje veljavnosti obstoječih simulacij;
– pravila za preverjanje obremenitve vagonov;
– metod šifriranja za kombiniran prevoz;
– profilov infrastrukture za zelo majhne radije krivin (npr. R < 150 m za profil G1).
