a)   control command;
b)   operational and
c)   vehicle.
And the parameters for:
d)   the area of an axle box to be viewed by the trackside hot axle box detectors;
e)   the type of alarms;
f)   the minimum actions to be taken in the event of an alarm;
g)   the essential equipment functions;
h)   the limit temperature ranges for the alarms;
i)   the minimum performance requirements such as accuracy of temperature measurement, periodicity of measurement, etc.;
j)   the general vehicle requirements to ensure that, apart from the defined axle box area, no other part of a vehicle falsely activates the trackside HABD;
k)   the general considerations for the location of trackside HABD along a route;
l)   the minimum maintenance requirements for the trackside HABD such as a maintenance plan.

EN 15437-1:2009 (E) 4
Introduction Failed axle bearings on rolling stock create a hazard to the safe operation of the railway. If an axle bearing fails whilst rolling stock is in-service there is the potential for a catastrophic event. A catastrophic event may result in fatalities, severe damage to rolling stock and/or the infrastructure and a risk that rolling stock may derail and/or a fire may develop. One indication that a bearing is about to fail is a rise in the heat generated by the bearing. Bearings that are about to fail may therefore be detected by monitoring their temperature to identify an unacceptable rise.
World-wide experience shows that one way of managing the risk is by installing trackside Hot AxleBox Detectors (HABDs) to monitor the in-service temperature of rolling stock axleboxes. The sensors of a trackside HABD measure the thermal radiation emitted from the axleboxes of in-service rolling stock. The level of thermal radiation is influenced by the emmissivity of the axlebox surface, which is influenced by the material, design, surface finish and operational conditions (dust, rain, etc). Even though operational conditions are continually changing the surface emmissivity of the axlebox, long term experience indicates that such changing conditions can be tolerated. This part of EN 15437 covers the monitoring of axlebox temperature by trackside HABD. It was developed by Working Group 35 "Hot Box Detection" of CEN Technical Committee 256 Railway Applications. It defines the minimum requirements for the interface between a trackside HABD and rolling stock, to ensure that the system works. It is important to note that Clause 1, Scope, sets out the minimum requirements for the interface. The requirements set out in this document are based on long term existing rules, practices and procedures developed and currently in use by European member railway undertaking’s (RUs) and infrastructure managers (IMs). The following principles have been applied: a) The railway system requires technical rules in order to ensure an acceptable interface between rolling stock and trackside HABD. b) In view of the increasing significance of international traffic, the standardisation of this interface is required.
c) It is of particular importance that the existing level of safety and reliability is not compromised. d) The Cartesian co-ordinate system is used to define dimensions and positions, that is X is longitudinal, Y is lateral and Z is vertical.
Some rolling stock, according to their performance or design, is fitted with on-board equipment to monitor axle bearings for potential overheating. However, in most cases, axle bearings continue to be monitored by trackside Hot Axle Bearing Detectors which is the subject of this standard.
Part 2 of EN 15437, which is currently being developed, covers on-board temperature monitoring of axle bearings.
Alternative technology is available, or being developed, to monitor the condition of axle bearings, using vibration sensors, thermocouples, etc. and may in the future be addressed by additional parts to this standard. SIST EN 15437-1:2009



EN 15437-1:2009 (E)
5 1 Scope This part of EN15437 defines the minimum characteristics for the interface between a trackside Hot Axlebox Detector (HABD) and Rolling Stock (RST) that comply with the European Directives for Interoperability to ensure that the minimum functional requirement of the interface is achieved.
The minimum requirements of the interface apply to: a) Rolling stock conforming to standard European railway gauge, that is 1435mm; b) Rolling stock axles fitted with outboard bearings; NOTE The design of rolling stock axles fitted with inboard bearings should respect the requirements set out in Note 2 of 5.2.
c) Rolling stock with a maximum operational speed of up to and including 250 km/h; NOTE 1 That is conventional rail and class 2 high speed rail rolling stock as defined in the rolling stock TSIs. NOTE 2 Interoperable rolling stock designed for speeds above 250km/h (class 1 high speed rolling stock) are mandated to have on-board equipment for axlebox condition monitoring. The requirements for on-board equipment are described in part 2 of this standard which is currently under development.
NOTE 3 Interoperable rolling stock designed for speeds above 250km/h (class 1 high speed rolling stock) are outside the scope of this Part of the standard. However, if class 1 high speed trains are required to be monitored by HABDs their target area should comply with the requirements specified in this standard, except where stated otherwise.
d) Trackside HABDs that are required to monitor conventional rail and class 2 high speed rail rolling stock.
The rolling stock requirements of the interface are described in Clause 5 and for the HABD requirements of the interface are described in Clause 6.
The scope of this part (part 1) of the standard does not include:  Hot Wheel (Hot Disc) Detectors (HWDs). However, HWD are often installed in combination with trackside HABD to provide a dual monitoring system. This standard does not prevent the use of such a combination;  how a HABD measures the temperature and identifies axle box position. This is part of an individual equipment design and not part of the functional requirements of this standard;  operational requirements for acting on the information reported by the HABD system;  maintenance requirements for HABD systems. 2 Normative references The following referenced documents are required for the application of this document.

EN 15437-1:2009 (E) 10 5 Rolling Stock Requirements 5.1 Target zone 5.1.1 General The target zone is an area on the underside surface of an axlebox described by the intersection of the axlebox with a virtual cuboid. The horizontal cross sectional area of the virtual cuboid is congruent to the plan view area of the target zone in the XY plane, herein named the target area. The target area dimensions are LTA in the X-axis and WTA in the Y-axis using rolling stock coordinates. 5.1.2 Dimensions of the target area
The target area is set in space relative to the axle dimensions, and defines an area in which a HABD can focus to monitor the temperature of an axlebox. Figure 3 shows the position and minimum dimensions of the target area using rolling stock coordinates. Taking into account mechanical tolerances:
a) the target area shall have a lateral width, WTA, greater than or equal to 50 mm; b) the target area shall have a longitudinal length, LTA, greater than or equal to 100 mm. NOTE If class 1 high speed trains are monitored by HABDs their target area should have a lateral width, WTA, greater than or equal to 50 mm and a longitudinal length, LTA,
greater than or equal to 130 mm.

11 5.1.3 Position of the centre of the target area in the XY plane a) YTA in the lateral direction (Y-axis), measured relative to the centre of the axle (or centre of a pair of wheels at the same position), where YTA shall be 1065 mm to 1095 mm; b) In the longitudinal direction (X-axis) it shall be congruent with the centre line of the axle. 5.1.4 Visibility requirements for the target area Rolling stock shall be designed with no obstruction between the target zone and the HABD that would impede or prevent the HABD from focusing within the target zone and thereby prevent a measurement of its thermal radiation.
If compliance with this requirement is not possible, rolling stock shall be fitted with an on-board axle bearing monitoring system1. NOTE The design of the rolling stock axlebox should aim to achieve a homogeneous temperature distribution within the target zone. 5.2 Prohibitive zone 5.2.1 General The prohibitive zone is defined by a rectangular area, which includes the target area, and is extended vertically to form a virtual cuboid. The dimensions of the cuboid are LPZ in the X-axis, WPZ in the Y-axis and HPZ in the Z-axis. Figure 4 shows a possible position of the target area in the XY plane of the prohibitive zone using rolling stock coordinates.
To minimize the opportunity for a HABD to calculate a temperature from a heat source that is not an axlebox, rolling stock shall be designed so that other heat sources, for example hot payload or exhaust, are not immediately adjacent to or directly above the target area position. To facilitate this no other heat source shall be located within the prohibitive zone.
NOTE 1 If it is possible/unavoidable, due to the design of the rolling stock, for a heat source other than that of an axlebox to be contained within the prohibitive zone, that heat source should be thermally shielded to prevent erroneous temperature calculations by a HABD measuring its thermal radiation. NOTE 2 The prohibitive zone should be maintained for all rolling stock, including for example rolling stock with inboard bearings. 5.2.2 Dimensions of the prohibitive zone The dimensions of the prohibitive zone’s cuboid, taking into account mechanical tolerances, shall be: a) lateral width, WPZ, greater than or equal to 100 mm; b) longitudinal length, LPZ, greater than or equal to 500 mm; c) vertical height, HPZ, shall start at a point immediately above the HABD in the XY plane and shall end at either the height of the target area, the height of a thermal shield or at a height that is level with the top of the vehicle in rolling stock coordinates.

13 5.3 Electromagnetic interference emissions Rolling stock shall be designed to minimize electromagnetic interference emissions (EMC) in accordance with EN 50121-3-1. NOTE The EMC of the rolling stock should not affect the functional behaviour of the HABD system, for example by incorrectly triggering the HABD to indicate the presence of a wheelset when a wheelset is not present. 5.4 Design drawings The target zone shall be identified on the rolling stock axlebox design drawings. 5.5 Protective finish This standard does not specify gloss factor or colour for the protective finish of an axlebox.
NOTE 1 This standard intentionally does not specify the emmissivity requirements for the external finish of the axlebox surface or its target area. This is because the condition of the external finish of the axlebox surface is variable and uncontrollable, depending on the operational and environmental profiles. NOTE 2 This standard does not prevent the use of special paint or surface finish with high emmissivity properties. NOTE 3 This standard intentionally does not require performance testing of axleboxes in accordance with EN 12082 in order to establish any reference temperature or performance characteristics for a target area. 6 HABD requirements for its interface with rolling stock 6.1 General This chapter contains the requirements for the HABD side of the interface.
The HABD needs to take at least one discrete measurement of the thermal radiation from within the rolling stock’s minimum target area for each axlebox, as defined in Clause 5. To achieve this HABD need to take thermal measurements from within the temperature measuring zone (TMZ), as defined in this clause. 6.2 HABD temperature measuring zone The temperature measuring zone is an area fixed in space (relative to the track), in which a HABD shall focus to monitor the temperature of the axleboxes of passing rolling stock. Figure 5 shows the minimum dimensions and the position of the temperature measuring zone relative to the track coordinates in the YZ plane.

15 The dimensions of the temperature measuring zone taking into account mechanical tolerances shall be: a) Lateral width, WTMZ, greater than or equal to 80 mm, from YTMZ1 = 1040 mm to YTMZ2 = 1120 mm; b) Vertical height, HTMZ, shall be 240 mm, between ZTMZ1 = 260 mm and ZTMZ2 = 500 mm. The HABD shall scan within the temperature measuring zone; taking at least one discrete measurement from within the temperature measuring zone.
NOTE 1 In requiring that at least one discrete measurement within the temperature measuring zone is taken, this standard is not mandating a multi-look HABD. It does however provide the opportunity for a single sensor HABD system to monitor axlebox temperatures (see 6.2 Note 2). Until interoperability is complete across the Trans European Network (TEN) multi-look systems may enable trackside HABD to monitor the axlebox temperatures of all rolling stock including those which do not comply with this standard. NOTE 2 Under static conditions there is a central portion of the temperature measuring zone, that is from YTMZC1 = 1070 mm to YTMZC2 = 1090 mm (see shaded zone in Figure 5), which overlaps with the range of possible positions of the rolling stock’s target area (defined in Clause 5).
NOTE 3 The height of the temperature measuring zone is defined to accommodate the variation in height of the rolling stock target zone which is dependent on axlebox design and wheel diameter. NOTE 4 Interoperable rolling stock has a target area width of at least 50 mm which should lie within the temperature measuring zone. NOTE 5 Where an HABD focuses within an alternat
