Railway applications - Braking - Requirements for the brake system of trains hauled by locomotives
This European Standard specifies basic requirements for the braking of trains hauled by locomotives:
- For trains hauled by locomotives and intended for use in general operation each vehicle is fitted with the traditional brake system with a brake pipe compatible with the UIC brake system.
NOTE This ensures technical compatibility of the brake function between vehicles of various origins in a train (see 5.4).
- For trains hauled by locomotives and intended for use in fixed or predefined formation, the requirements on the vehicle and the train are necessary. In the case of a UIC brake system, this standard applies; if not, the EN 16185 series or the EN 15734 series applies.
If concerned, the UIC brake architecture described in this standard (see 5.4) can be used for brakes for multiple unit train and high speed trains and urban rail described in the EN 13452 series, the EN 16185 series and the EN 15734 series.
This European Standard also takes into account electrical and electronic control functions and additional brake systems like dynamic brakes and adhesion independent brakes.
The brake system requirements, which are specific for on-track machines are set out in EN 14033-1.
This European Standard does not apply to Urban Rail rolling stock braking system, which is specified by EN 13452-1.
Bahnanwendungen - Bremsen - Anforderungen an die Bremsausrüstung lokbespannter Züge
Diese Europäische Norm legt grundsätzliche Anforderungen an die Bremsung von lokbespannten Zügen fest:
— Für lokbespannte Züge zur Verwendung im allgemeinen Betrieb wird jedes Fahrzeug mit einem herkömmlichen Bremssystem mit Hauptluftleitung, das mit dem UIC-Bremssystem kompatibel ist, ausgestattet.
ANMERKUNG Dies stellt die technische Kompatibilität der Bremsfunktion zwischen Fahrzeugen verschiedener Herkünfte in einem Zugverband sicher (siehe 5.4).
— Für lokbespannte Züge zur Verwendung in festen oder vordefinierten Zugverbänden sind die Anforderungen bezüglich Fahrzeug und Zug notwendig. Im Falle eines UIC-Bremssystems ist diese Norm anwendbar, falls nicht, greift die EN 16185 oder EN 15734.
Im Zweifelsfall kann die UIC-Bremsenarchitektur, die in dieser Norm beschrieben wird (siehe 5.4), für Bremsen von Triebzügen und Hochgeschwindigkeitszügen sowie für städtische Eisenbahnen, wie in EN 13452, EN 16185 und EN 15734 beschrieben, verwendet werden.
Diese Europäische Norm berücksichtigt ebenfalls die elektrischen und elektronischen Steuerungs- und Regelungsfunktionen sowie zusätzliche Bremssysteme, wie dynamische Bremsen und kraftschluss-unabhängige Bremsen.
Die Anforderungen an das Bremssystem von schienengebundenen Maschinen sind in EN 14033 1 enthalten.
Diese Europäische Norm gilt nicht für Bremssysteme der Schienenfahrzeuge des öffentlichen Nahverkehrs nach EN 13452-1.
Applications ferroviaires - Freinage - Exigences concernant le système de freinage des trains tractés par locomotive
La présente Norme Européenne définit les exigences fondamentales pour le freinage de trains remorqués par locomotive :
- pour les trains remorqués par locomotive et destinés à l’utilisation pour exploitation conventionnelle, chaque véhicule est équipé d’une architecture classique de système de freinage avec une conduite générale, compatible avec un système de freinage UIC.
NOTE Cela permet d’assurer la compatibilité technique de la fonction de freinage entre différents véhicules d’origines différentes dans un train (voir 5.4).
- Pour les trains remorqués par locomotive et destinés à l’utilisation en composition fixe ou prédéfinie, les exigences sont applicables sur le véhicule et sur le train. Dans le cas d’un système de freinage UIC, la présente norme s’applique ; dans d’autres cas la série de normes EN 16185 ou la série de normes EN 15734 s’appliquent.
Le cas échéant, l’architecture du système de freinage UIC décrite dans la présente norme (voir 5.4) peut être utilisée pour les freins des trains à unités multiples, pour les trains à grande vitesse et pour le rail urbain, décrites dans la série de normes EN 13452, EN 16185 et EN 15734.
La présente Norme Européenne prend en compte les fonctions de commande électriques et électroniques et des systèmes de freinage supplémentaires, tels que les freins dynamiques et les freins qui ne dépendent pas de l’adhérence.
Les exigences relatives aux systèmes de freinage spécifiques aux machines de construction et de maintenance empruntant exclusivement les voies ferrés sont définies dans l’EN 14033-1.
La présente Norme Européenne ne s’applique pas aux systèmes de freinage du matériel roulant du Rail Urbain, qui sont spécifiés dans l’EN 13452-1.
Železniške naprave - Zavore - Zahteve za zavorne sisteme vlakov za splošno delovanje
Ta dokument določa osnovne zahteve za zavore vlakov, ki jih vlečejo lokomotive, vključno s posameznimi vozili, ki vozijo po evropskih železnicah in njihovih infrastrukturnih sistemih. Te minimalne zahteve se uporabljajo na 2 ravneh: – na ravni vlaka, ker so zavore odvisne od ukaza o zaviranju, ki se prenaša po celotnem vlaku; – na ravni vozila, da se zagotovi, da sta zavorni sistem in oprema vozila konfigurirana in dimenzionirana tako, da se razvije potrebna zavorna sila za vlak. Ta dokument obravnava: – vse nove zasnove vozil; – vse večje obnove, če vključujejo preoblikovanje ali večjo spremembo zavornega sistema zadevnega vozila; – vse nove modele obstoječih zasnov vozil. Ta dokument ne obravnava vozil, ki potrebujejo posebno operativno upravljanje (npr. stroji za polaganje tirnic). Ta dokument se uporablja zlasti za naslednje vrste vlakov, vozil in infrastruktur: a) vlaki: – sestavljeni so iz ene ali več lokomotiv in vozil, ki jih vleče lokomotiva (vključno s potisno-vlečnimi vlaki); – sestavo vlaka je mogoče med delovanjem spremeniti po potrebi (zmožnost priklapljanja); – maksimalna hitrost je večja ali enaka 80–200 km/h; – profil vozila in profil tirnice nista določena; – napajanje lokomotiv(e) ni določeno. b) vozila: – lokomotive; – potniška vozila (dnevna vozila, jedilna vozila, spalna vozila, vlečne prikolice, prtljažna vozila itd.); – tovorna vozila. c) infrastrukture: Za železnice veljajo pravila glede obratovanja, ki se uporabljajo za zavorno moč in so povezana z železniško infrastrukturo. V preglednicah A.1 in A.2 je podan povzetek o minimalnih zahtevah zavorne moči kot funkcije infrastrukture in maksimalni hitrosti vlakov.

Braking also provides the immobilization of a train either for a certain period of time or permanently when it is not in operation or without any energy on board. Units designed and assessed to be operated in general operation (various formations of vehicles from different origins; train formation not defined at the design stage) shall be fitted with a technically compatible brake system to ensure the brake function in all vehicles of the train.
