Rolling stock and rail structures
Checking the compliance of rolling stock movements on rails structures: bridges and tunnels of a given route for type approval purposes.
Tests objectives
Determine running and clearance gauge conditions of a new rolling stock or new rolling stock configurations in relation to the structures (bridges and tunnels) on a particular ailway network.
Tests facilities
- Tools for calculating the loads exerted by new rolling stock on rail structures – static and dynamic
- Measuring systems used at tunnel oportals and for geometric studies (Elise)
- Instruments installed on structures to assess the impact of passing trains (under test or not)
Testing norms
NF EN 15528 – Line categories for managing the interface between load limits of vehicles and infrastructure
Eurocode 1 – Part 2 and Annex A2
