For many years the majority of gangway systems consisted of rubber tubes pressed together when coaches were coupled. This solution is standardized in UIC leaflet 561 with the aim to reconfigure train sets. Main requirements of this leaflet have been incorporated in this standard as Annex A. UIC Leaflet 561 is to date the only reference document available, but does not cover project specific solutions, which have been developed for each train set; for example, for multiple units, metros or tramways. The aim of EN 16286-1 is to close this gap and to cover the complete range of gangway systems.

This system accommodates all relative movements between the two vehicles by its design and allows the passage from one vehicle to the next vehicle. It protects passengers and staff from falling out of the train and protects against external environmental conditions.
5.2 Environmental resistance The design of gangways shall take into account the environmental conditions to which they will be subjected. Environmental parameters, described in EN 50125-1, shall be considered in the specification for the gangway. 6 Vehicle body coordinate system The coordinate system is shown in Figure 8. The positive direction of the x-axis (corresponding to vehicle body longitudinal axis) is in the direction of movement. The positive direction of the z-axis (corresponding to vehicle body vertical axis) points upwards. The y-axis (corresponding to vehicle body transverse axis) is in the horizontal plane completing a right hand coordinate system. NOTE Conventional coach pictured, but gangways can also connect modules of a multi-moduled vehicle typically in tram applications.
Key 1 direction of movement x longitudinal axis y lateral axis z vertical axis Figure 8 — Vehicle body coordinate system 7 Technical requirements 7.1 General A specification for the gangway with the following minimum requirements shall be established.
The maximum weight of the gangway system should be defined in the specification.
NOTE System architecture, dimensional and acoustic requirements have an important influence on the weight.
7.3 Geometry 7.3.1 Outer gangway dimensions The outer gangway dimensions shall respect the vehicle gauge. 7.3.2 Clearway The volume as shown in Figure 9 shall be maintained as clearway over the length of the gangway as well as in associated gangway doors measured on straight and level track.
The horizontal clearway shall maintain a minimum of 550 mm.
The vertical clearway shall maintain a minimum of 1 950 mm.
Where the infrastructure (gauge or vehicle profile) does not allow this, an exception may be accepted by the authorities for both values. NOTE For front end gangway systems, the essential requirement for drivers' sight line in combination with small vehicle profiles might necessitate a reduction of these values.

The volume as shown in Figure 10 shall be maintained as clearway over the length of the gangway, as well as in associated gangway doors under each service condition, e.g. curves. In addition to 7.3.2, the horizontal clearway for wheelchairs shall maintain a minimum of 800 mm up to a minimum height of 1 450 mm.

7.3.5 Steps and ramps Discontinuities within the floor transition from one vehicle to the gangway, as well as from the gangway to the connected vehicle, should be minimised to facilitate passage without trip and stumble hazards. Sudden height changes shall be less than 15 mm high in nominal position and have chamfered or rounded edges. Ramps up to a length of 600 mm shall not exceed a maximum gradient of 10,2° (18 %).
Ramps with a length from 600 mm to 1 000 mm shall have a maximum gradient of 8,5° (15 %). Ramps with a length more than 1 000 mm shall have a maximum gradient of 4,47° (8 %).
During design, movement studies with the relevant and extreme movements shall be carried out for
