Railway applications - Testing and simulation for the assessment of running characteristics of rail vehicles operated on the heavy rail network - Part 2: Safety against derailment on twisted track

Publication date:   Jun 19, 2025

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 applies to the assessment of safety against derailment on twisted tracks of rail vehicles which:
— are newly designed;
— have had relevant design modifications; or
— have relevant changes in their operating conditions.
