PD CEN/TR 17373:2019

This standard PD CEN/TR 17373:2019 Railway applications. Railway rolling stock. Investigation of vehicles position on the reverse curve tracks during running and calculation of buffer overlap is classified in these ICS categories:

• 45.060.01 Railway rolling stock in general

The purpose of this document is to analyse the conducted investigation and evaluation of lateral displacement and buffer overlap between each two specified vehicles of different train sets for defined running cases in curves. For this purpose, the types of vehicles defining the train sets and different operating conditions are specified. Position of the vehicles on the track at the moment of maximum lateral displacement (minimum buffer overlap) is recorded during the calculation. The worst cases of lateral displacement and buffer overlap between two coupled vehicles as well as relation to equations in EN 15551:2009 are analysed.
