Description

BS PD CEN/TR 17373 – Railway applications. Railway rolling stock. Investigation of vehicles position on the reverse curve tracks during running and calculation of buffer overlap

The purpose of this document is to analyse the conducted investigation and evaluation of lateraldisplacement and buffer overlap between each two specified vehicles of different train sets for definedrunning cases in curves.

For this purpose, the types of vehicles defining the train sets and different operating conditions arespecified. 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 asrelation to formulae in EN 15551:2009 are analysed.
