Railway applications - Aerodynamics - Part 6: Requirements and test procedures for cross wind assessment

Scope

This document gives guidelines for the cross wind assessment of railways.
This document is applicable to all passenger vehicles, locomotives and power cars (with a maximum train speed above 140 km/h up to 360 km/h) and freight wagons (with a maximum train speed above 80 km/h up to 160 km/h) and track gauges from 1 435 mm to 1 668 mm inclusive.For passenger vehicles, locomotives and power cars with a maximum train speed between 140 km/h and 360 km/h, a requirement to demonstrate the cross wind stability is imposed. For light rail and urban rail vehicles no requirements are contained, but methods of this document may be applied accordingly. Methos for the assessment of modifications to passenger vehicles are provided. Methods to assess infrastructure are provided.
