Railway applications — Testing and simulation for the assessment of running characteristics of rail vehicles operated on the heavy rail network — Part 1: General

Scope

This document is applicable to all rail vehicles including OTMs and Road-rail machines, which are operated on the heavy rail network with nominal track gauge 1 435 mm and nominal static vertical wheelset forces up to 350 kN.
This document may also be applicable (partly or in full) to:
— rail systems with different track layout, e.g. urban rail systems and/or;
— rail systems with other than 1 435 mm nominal track gauge and/or;
— non-public rail networks and vehicles, e.g. mine rail systems.
NOTE For rail systems other than 1 435 mm track gauge or urban rail systems, the related post processing, limit values and test conditions could be different. They are specified nationally or individually taking into account track design and operating conditions.
This document contains the common parts of the series of documents as well as the relationship to other standards, general requirements and handling of deviations from requirements. These specifications are necessary for the application of the other parts of this series of documents.
