EN 14067-4:2013+A1:2018 (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+A1:2019

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, 95%, refers to the maximum pressure change which occurs during the passage of the train head. SIST EN 14067-4:2014+A1:2019

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.

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; — a comparative evaluation of the design differences relevant to the rolling stock for which a full conformity assessment already exists.

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.
