(11)  λ must not exceed 125 %, considering for braking only on wheels (brake blocks), the maximum mean retardation force allowed of 16 kN/axle (for running speed at 120 km/h).

11

(12)  The requirement by a running speed of 120 km/h is to fulfil λ = 100 % up to the SS load limit, with following derogation: the mean retardation force for tread brake with wheel diameter [new max 1 000mm, worn min. 840 mm] shall be limited to 16 kN/wheelset. This limit is caused by the maximum admissible braking energy corresponding to 20 t axle load with λ = 90 % and 18 t braked weight per wheelset.

12

If a braked weight percentage of more than 100 % is required with an axle load of more than 18 t, it is necessary to realize another type of brake system (for example disc brakes) to limit the thermal load on the wheel.’

Notes:

| (1) | The indicated speed value in the tables represents the maximum requirement for the line and may be lower in accordance with the requirements in point 4.2.1(12). When checking individual structures on the line, it is acceptable to take account the local allowed speeds as also indicated in the notes 2 and 3 of Table 2 and in the note 1 of Table 3. |

(1)

| (2) | Passenger Carriages (including Coaches, Vans, Car Carriers), Other Vehicles, Locomotives, Power Heads, Diesel and Electric Multiple Units, Power Units and Railcars are defined in the TSI LOC&PAS. Light Freight Wagons are defined as vans except that they are allowed to be conveyed in formations which are not intended to convey passengers. |
| --- | --- |

(2)

| (3) | The requirements for structures set out using EN line categories or load model LM71 are compatible with up to two adjacent coupled locomotives and/or power heads. The requirements for structures are compatible with a maximum speed of 120 km/h for three or more adjacent coupled locomotives and/or power heads (or a train of locomotives and/or power heads) subject to the locomotives and/or power heads satisfying the corresponding limits for freight wagons. |
| --- | --- |

(3)

| (4) | For traffic codes P2, P3 and P4, the requirements for both traffic with loco hauled trains and traffic with multiple units shall apply. For traffic code P5, the Member State may indicate whether the requirements for locomotives and power heads apply. |
| --- | --- |

(4)

| (5) | The requirements for structures are compatible with carriages, light freight wagons and electric or diesel multiple units with an average mass per unit length over the length of each vehicle of 2.45 t/m for EN line category A, 2.75 t/m for EN line category B1, 3.1 t/m for EN line category C2 and 3.5 t/m for EN line category D2 (not for P5). |

(5)

(6)

| (7) | Taking into account the state of the art of operation there is no need to define harmonized requirements to deliver an adequate level of interoperability for these types of vehicles for the traffic code P1. |
| --- | --- |

(7)

| (8) | For P1 and P2 lines, compliance with HSLM in accordance with the specification referenced in Appendix T, Index [10] shall be stated (see procedure in point 6.2.4.10 of this TSI). If HSLM compliance cannot be shown, for the purpose of dynamic compatibility checks set out in accordance with the route compatibility check in Appendix D.1 to the TSI OPE (RINF parameter 1.1.1.1.2.4.4), the dynamic loading, to which the compatibility with existing bridges should be checked, shall be provided in the documents with the procedure(s) as set out in RINF parameter 1.1.1.1.2.4.4 (see also procedure in point 6.2.4.10 of this TSI). When a dynamic analysis has to be undertaken with load models based on individual trains, the characteristic value of the loading for passengers or luggage carrying vehicles shall be in accordance with the design mass under normal payload in accordance with Appendix K of this TSI. |
| --- | --- |

(8)

| (9) | For avoiding excessive dynamic effects including resonance, currently it is not possible to specify harmonized minimum bridge properties to obviate the need for a dynamic appraisal. The dynamic loading from vehicles satisfying the bridge static loading requirements (specified as either a Line Category in accordance with the specification referenced in Appendix T, Index [2] or in terms of load model LM71) can in a number of cases exceed these normal bridge static loading requirements (when these static loadings are enhanced by normal industry allowances for dynamic factors for bridge recalculation or bridge design). This risk to compatibility between vehicles and bridges is managed by the dynamic compatibility checks set out in Appendix D.1 to the TSI OPE (RINF parameter 1.1.1.1.2.4.4). When a dynamic analysis has to be undertaken with load models based on individual trains, the characteristic value of the loading for passengers or luggage carrying vehicles shall be in accordance with the design mass under normal payload in accordance with Appendix K of this TSI. |

(13)

| (14) | The requirements set out using EN line categories or load model LM71 can be fulfilled either via EN line category with the corresponding speed or with LM71 with the factor alpha in accordance with the specification referenced in Appendix T, Index [10]. The decision between the two available options, not necessarily the most onerous, is to be made exclusively by the applicant. EN line category with the corresponding speed is based on static loading multiplied by a dynamic amplification factor. |

In all cases of construction of a new station, the station manager or planning entity shall organise a consultation of the entities in charge of the management of the neighbourhood, in order to enable as far as possible the accessibility requirements to be met not only in the station, but also for the access to the station. In the case of multimodal stations, other transport authorities shall be consulted for access to and from the railway and to and from other modes of transport.

  Where parts of a rolling stock are renewed or upgraded, they shall comply with the requirements of this TSI; compliance with the content of this TSI is not mandatory in the following cases:

  Structures

  Compliance is not mandatory if the work would require structural alterations to door portals (interior or external), underframes, collision pillars, vehicle bodies, vehicle over-ride protection, or more generally if the work would necessitate re-validation of the vehicle structural integrity.

  Seats

  Compliance with point 4.2.2.1 with regard to seat back grab handles is only mandatory if the seat structures are renewed or upgraded within an entire vehicle.
  Compliance with point 4.2.2.1.2 with regard to the dimensions of priority seats and their surroundings is only mandatory if the seating layout is altered within an entire train and this can be achieved without reducing the existing capacity of the train. In that case, the maximum number of priority seats shall be provided.
  Compliance with requirements regarding headroom above priority seating is not mandatory if the limiting factor is a luggage rack that is not being structurally altered during the renewal or upgrading work.

  Wheelchair spaces

  The provision of wheelchair spaces is only required when the seating layout is altered within a complete train formation. However, if the entrance doorway, or clearways, cannot be modified to enable wheelchair access, a wheelchair space does not need to be provided if the seating layout is altered. Wheelchair spaces created in an existing rolling stock may be arranged in accordance with the specification referenced in Appendix A, Index [16].
  The provision of call for aid devices at the wheelchair positions is not mandatory if the vehicle does not have an electrical communications system that can be adapted to include such a device.
  The provision of a transfer seat is only mandatory when it does not require modifying the layout of an existing wheelchair space.

  Exterior doors

  Compliance with requirements to define the interior position of external doorways by contrast at floor level is only mandatory when the floor covering is renewed or upgraded.
  Compliance with requirements to provide door opening and closing signals is only mandatory when the door control system is renewed or upgraded.
  Full compliance with requirements regarding the position and illumination of door controls is only mandatory when the door control system is renewed or upgraded and when the controls can be re-positioned without alteration to the vehicle structure or door.

Those limits are used for designing and assessing the rolling stock (architecture, structure, layout) and its components (access doors, internal doors, seats, toilets etc.). When the characteristics of a wheelchair exceed those limits, the conditions of use of the rolling stock might be degraded for the user (for instance no access to the wheelchair areas). Exceeding some limits may prevent the user to access the rolling stock. Those limits are defined by each railway undertaking as specified in the point 4.2.6.1 of the Annex to Regulation (EU) No 454/2011.

Further to the analysis performed during the drafting process of this TSI, particular aspects have been identified as of interest for the future development of the EU railway system.

These aspects are of 3 different groups:

(1)

Those already subject of a basic parameter in this TSI, with a possible evolution of the corresponding specification when the TSI will be revised.

| (2) | Those not considered in the current state of the art as basic parameter, but which are subject to research projects. |

(3)

Those relevant in the framework of ongoing studies related to the EU railway system, which are not in the scope of TSIs.

These aspects are identified below, classified according to the breakdown of the point 4.2 of the TSI.

7.5.1.   Aspects related to a basic parameter in this TSI

7.5.1.1.   Axle load parameter (point 4.2.3.2.1)

This basic parameter covers the interface between infrastructure and rolling stock regarding the vertical load.

Further development is required for route compatibility check regarding static and dynamic compatibility.

Regarding dynamic compatibility, no harmonised classification method of the Rolling Stock is yet available including requirements related to High Speed Load Model (HSLM) compatibility:

| — | TSI LOC&PAS requirements should further be developed based on finding from CEN enhancing EN1991-2 Annex E with corresponding rolling stock requirements for dynamic compatibility, including compatibility with HSLM compliant structures, |
| --- | --- |

—

TSI LOC&PAS requirements should further be developed based on finding from CEN enhancing EN1991-2 Annex E with corresponding rolling stock requirements for dynamic compatibility, including compatibility with HSLM compliant structures,

| --- | --- |

—

New basic design characteristics "Compliance of vehicle design with the High Speed Load Model (HSLM)" should be created,

| — | A harmonised process should be referenced accordingly for route compatibility check purposes in TSI OPE Appendix D.1 based on RINF and ERATV, |
| --- | --- |

—

A harmonised process should be referenced accordingly for route compatibility check purposes in TSI OPE Appendix D.1 based on RINF and ERATV,

| — | Documents required in RINF parameter 1.1.1.1.2.4.4 should be harmonised as far as possible to facilitate automatic route compatibility check. |
| --- | --- |

—

Documents required in RINF parameter 1.1.1.1.2.4.4 should be harmonised as far as possible to facilitate automatic route compatibility check.

7.5.1.2.   Not used

7.5.1.3.   Aerodynamic effects on ballasted tracks (point 4.2.6.2.5)

Requirements on aerodynamic effects on ballasted tracks have been set up for units of maximum design speed higher than 250 km/h.

As the current state of the art does not allow to provide for a harmonized requirement nor assessment methodology, the TSI allows the application of national rules.

This will need to be reviewed in order to consider the following:

| — | Study of ballast-pick-up occurrences, and corresponding safety impact (if any). |
| --- | --- |

—

Study of ballast-pick-up occurrences, and corresponding safety impact (if any).

| — | Development of a harmonized, cost-effective methodology applicable in EU. |

Development of a harmonized, cost-effective methodology applicable in EU.

7.5.2.   Aspects not related to a basic parameter in this TSI but subject to research projects

7.5.2.1.   Not used

7.5.2.2.   Further activities related to the conditions for having vehicle type authorisation and/or an authorization for placing on the market not limited to a particular area of use

To facilitate free circulation of locomotives and passenger coaches, conditions for having an authorization for placing on the market not limited to a particular area of use are lay down in clause 7.1.1.5.

These provisions should be complemented with harmonised limit values for interference currents and magnetic fields at unit level, either as a percentage of the value defined for an Influencing unit, or as absolute limit values. These harmonised limits will be determined based on the specific cases or technical documents referred to in Article 13 of CCS TSI and on the future standard EN 50728 expected to be published in 2024.

The specification of interfaces between coaches intended to be used in general operations should be further detailed in point 7.1.1.5.2 with the objective to facilitate the interchangeability of those coaches (new and existing coaches).

7.5.2.3.   Equipment of a rolling stock with places for bicycles - Impact of the Passenger Rights Regulation

Article 6(4) of Regulation (EU) 2021/782 of the European Parliament and of the Council (*19) specifies the requirements for equipping rolling stock with places for bicycles.

Places for bicycles need to be realised in case of:

| — | a major change of the layout and furnishing of the passenger area, and |
| --- | --- |

—

a major change of the layout and furnishing of the passenger area, and

| — | when the above-mentioned upgrade of existing rolling stock leads to the need for a new vehicle authorisation for placing it on the market. |
| --- | --- |

—

when the above-mentioned upgrade of existing rolling stock leads to the need for a new vehicle authorisation for placing it on the market.

According to the principle specified in point 7.1.2.2.(1), major upgrades affecting other parts and basic parameters than the layout and furnishing of the passenger area may not entail the equipment of the rolling stock with places for bicycles.

1.   INTRODUCTION

Technical Specifications for Interoperability (TSI) lay down the optimal level of harmonised specifications for each subsystem (or part of it), to ensure the safety and interoperability of the rail system, to facilitate, improve and develop rail transport services within the Union and with third countries, and to contribute to the completion of the single European railway area and the progressive achievement of the internal market. The specifications of the TSIs must meet the essential requirements as set out in Annex III to Directive (EU) 2016/797.

In accordance with the proportionality principle, this TSI sets out the optimal level of harmonisation related to specifications on the rolling stock subsystem as defined in point 1.1 intended to limit the noise emission of the rail system within the Union.

1.1.   Technical scope

1.1.1.   Scope related to rolling stock

This TSI applies to all rolling stock within the scope of the Annex to Regulation (EU) No 1302/2014 (“TSI LOC&PAS”) and the Annex to Regulation (EU) No 321/2013 (“TSI WAG”).

1.1.2.   Scope related to operational aspects

Alongside with the Annex to Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2019/773 (1) (“TSI OPE”), this TSI applies to the operation of freight wagons, which are used on railway infrastructure designated as “quieter routes”.

1.2.   Geographical scope

The geographical scope of this TSI corresponds to the scopes defined in point 1.2 of LOC&PAS TSI and in point 1.2 of WAG TSI, each for their rolling stock (RST) concerned.

2.   DEFINITION OF THE SUBSYSTEM

A “unit” means the rolling stock, which is subject to the application of this TSI, and therefore subject to the “EC” verification procedure. Chapter 2 of LOC&PAS TSI and Chapter 2 of WAG TSI describe what a unit can consist of.

The requirements of this TSI apply to the following categories of rolling stock set out in Section 2 of Annex I to Directive (EU) 2016/797:

| (a) | locomotives and passenger rolling stock including thermal or electric traction units, self-propelling thermal or electric passenger trains, and passenger coaches. This category is further defined in Chapter 2 of LOC&PAS TSI and shall be referred to in this TSI as locomotives, electric multiple units (EMU), diesel multiple units (DMU) and coaches; |
| --- | --- |

(a)

locomotives and passenger rolling stock including thermal or electric traction units, self-propelling thermal or electric passenger trains, and passenger coaches. This category is further defined in Chapter 2 of LOC&PAS TSI and shall be referred to in this TSI as locomotives, electric multiple units (EMU), diesel multiple units (DMU) and coaches;

| (b) | freight wagons, including low-deck vehicles designed for the entire network and vehicles designed to carry lorries. This category is further defined in Chapter 2 of WAG TSI and shall be referred to in this TSI as wagons; |
| --- | --- |

(b)

freight wagons, including low-deck vehicles designed for the entire network and vehicles designed to carry lorries. This category is further defined in Chapter 2 of WAG TSI and shall be referred to in this TSI as wagons;

| (c) | special vehicles, such as on-track machines. This category is further defined in Chapter 2 of LOC&PAS TSI. |
| --- | --- |

(c)

special vehicles, such as on-track machines. This category is further defined in Chapter 2 of LOC&PAS TSI.

3.   ESSENTIAL REQUIREMENTS

All basic parameters set out in this TSI shall be linked to at least one of the essential requirements as set out in Annex III to Directive (EU) 2016/797. Table 1 indicates the allocation.

4.   CHARACTERISATION OF THE SUBSYSTEM

4.1.   Introduction

This Chapter sets out the optimal level of harmonisation related to specifications on the rolling stock subsystem intended to limit the noise emission of the Union rail system and to achieve interoperability.

4.2.   Functional and technical specifications of the subsystems

The following parameters have been identified as critical for the interoperability (basic parameters):

| (a) | “stationary noise”; |
| --- | --- |

(a)

“stationary noise”;

| (b) | “starting noise”; |
| --- | --- |

(b)

“starting noise”;

| (c) | “pass-by noise”; |
| --- | --- |

(c)

“pass-by noise”;

| (d) | “driver's cab interior noise”. |
| --- | --- |

(d)

“driver's cab interior noise”.

The corresponding functional and technical specifications allocated to the different categories of rolling stock are set out in this point. In case of units equipped with both thermal and electric power, the relevant limit values under all normal operation modes shall be respected. If one of those operation modes plans the use of both thermal and electric power at the same time, the less restrictive limit value applies. In accordance with Article 4(5) and Article 2(13) of Directive (EU) 2016/797, provision may be made for specific cases. Such provisions are indicated in point 7.3.

The assessment procedures for the requirements in this point are defined in the indicated points of Chapter 6.

4.2.1.   Limits for stationary noise

The limit values for the following sound pressure levels under normal vehicle conditions concerning the stationary noise allocated to the categories of the rolling stock subsystem are set out in Table 2:

| (a) | the A-weighted equivalent continuous sound pressure level of the unit (LpAeq,T[unit]); |
| --- | --- |

(a)

the A-weighted equivalent continuous sound pressure level of the unit (LpAeq,T[unit]);

Within the application of the chosen module or module combination the subsystem shall be assessed against the requirements set out in point 4.2. If necessary, additional requirements concerning the assessment are given in the following points.

6.2.2.1.   Stationary noise

The demonstration of conformity with the limit values on stationary noise as set out in point 4.2.1 shall be carried out in accordance with the specification referenced in Appendix B, Index [1].

For the assessment of the main air compressor noise at the nearest measuring position i, the Li
  pAeq,T indicator shall be used with T representative of one operating cycle as defined in the specification referenced in Appendix B, Index [1]. Only the train systems that are required for the air compressor to run under normal operating conditions shall be used for that purpose. The train systems which are not needed for the operation of the compressor may be switched off to prevent contribution to the noise measurement. The demonstration of conformity with the limit values shall be carried out under the conditions solely necessary for operation of the main air compressor at the lowest rpm.

For the assessment of the impulsive noise sources at the nearest measuring position i, the Li
  pAFmax indicator shall be used. The relevant noise source is the exhaust from the valves of the air dryer.

6.2.2.2.   Starting noise

The demonstration of conformity with the limit values on starting noise as set out in point 4.2.2 shall be carried out in accordance with the specification referenced in Appendix B, Index [1]. The maximum level method shall apply. Deviating from the test procedure of the specification, the train shall accelerate from standstill up to 30 km/h and then maintain the speed.

In addition the noise shall be measured at the same distance from the centre of the track and the same height above top of rail as set out in point 4.2.2. The “averaged level method” and the “maximum level method” in accordance with the specification referenced in Appendix B, Index [1] shall apply and the train shall accelerate from standstill up to 40 km/h and then maintain the speed. The measured values are not assessed against any limit value and shall be recorded in the technical file and communicated to the Agency.

For special vehicles the starting procedure shall be performed without additional trailer loads.

6.2.2.3.   Pass-by noise

The demonstration of conformity with the limit values on pass-by noise as set out in point 4.2.3 shall be carried out in accordance with points 6.2.2.3.1 and 6.2.2.3.2.

6.2.2.3.1.   Test track conditions

The tests shall be performed on a reference track as defined in the specification referenced in Appendix B, Index [1].

However, it is permitted to carry out the test on a track that does not comply with the reference track conditions in terms of acoustic rail roughness level and track decay rates as long as the noise levels measured in accordance with point 6.2.2.3.2 do not exceed the limit values set out in point 4.2.3.

The acoustic rail roughness and the decay rates of the test track shall be determined in any case. If the track on which the tests are performed does meet the reference track conditions, the measured noise levels shall be marked “comparable”, otherwise they shall be marked “non-comparable”. It shall be recorded in the technical file whether the measured noise levels are “comparable” or “non-comparable”.

The measured acoustic rail roughness values of the test track remain valid during a period starting 3 months before and ending 3 months after that measurement, provided that during that period no track maintenance has been performed which influences the rail acoustic roughness.

The measured track decay rate values of the test track shall remain valid during a period starting 1 year before and ending 1 year after that measurement, provided that during that period no track maintenance has been performed which influences the track decay rates.

Confirmation shall be provided in the technical file that the track data related to the type's pass-by noise measurement were valid during the day(s) of testing, e.g. by providing the date of last maintenance having an impact on noise.

Furthermore, it is permitted to carry out tests at speeds equal to or higher than 250 km/h on slab tracks. In that case the limit values shall be 2 dB higher than those set out in point 4.2.3.

6.2.2.3.2.   Procedure

The tests shall be carried out in accordance with the specification referenced in Appendix B, Index [1]. Any comparison against limit values shall be carried out with results rounded to the nearest integer decibel. Any normalisation shall be performed before rounding. The detailed assessment procedure is set out in points 6.2.2.3.2.1, 6.2.2.3.2.2 and 6.2.2.3.2.3.

6.2.2.3.2.1.   EMU, DMUs, locomotives and coaches

For EMU, DMUs, locomotives and coaches three classes of maximum operational speed are distinguished:

| (1) | If the maximum operational speed of the unit is lower than or equal to 80 km/h, the pass-by noise shall be measured at its maximum speed vmax. That value shall not exceed the limit value LpAeq,Tp(80 km/h) as set out in point 4.2.3. |
| --- | --- |

(1)

If the maximum operational speed of the unit is lower than or equal to 80 km/h, the pass-by noise shall be measured at its maximum speed vmax. That value shall not exceed the limit value LpAeq,Tp(80 km/h) as set out in point 4.2.3.

| (2) | If the maximum operational speed vmax of the unit is higher than 80 km/h and lower than 250 km/h, the pass-by noise shall be measured at 80 km/h and at its maximum speed. Both measured pass-by noise values LpAeq,Tp(Vtest) shall be normalised to the reference speed of 80 km/h LpAeq,Tp(80 km/h) using Formula (1). The normalised value shall not exceed the limit value LpAeq,Tp(80 km/h) as set out in point 4.2.3.

  Formula (1):






  LpAeq,Tp(80 km/h) = LpAeq,Tp(Vtest) – 30 * log (vtest/80 km/h)







  vtest | = | Actual speed during the measurement |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |

(2)

If the maximum operational speed vmax of the unit is higher than 80 km/h and lower than 250 km/h, the pass-by noise shall be measured at 80 km/h and at its maximum speed. Both measured pass-by noise values LpAeq,Tp(Vtest) shall be normalised to the reference speed of 80 km/h LpAeq,Tp(80 km/h) using Formula (1). The normalised value shall not exceed the limit value LpAeq,Tp(80 km/h) as set out in point 4.2.3.

Formula (1):

LpAeq,Tp(80 km/h) = LpAeq,Tp(Vtest) – 30 * log (vtest/80 km/h)

vtest

=

Actual speed during the measurement

| (3) | If the maximum operational speed vmax of the unit is equal to or higher than 250 km/h, the pass-by noise shall be measured at 80 km/h and at its maximum speed with an upper test speed limit of 320 km/h. The measured pass-by noise value LpAeq,Tp(Vtest) at 80 km/h shall be normalised to the reference speed of 80 km/h LpAeq,Tp(80 km/h) using Formula (1). The normalised value shall not exceed the limit value LpAeq,Tp(80 km/h) as set out in point 4.2.3. The measured pass-by noise value at maximum speed LpAeq,Tp(Vtest) shall be normalised to the reference speed of 250 km/h LpAeq,Tp(250 km/h) using Formula (2). The normalised value shall not exceed the limit value LpAeq,Tp(250 km/h) as set out in point 4.2.3.

  Formula (2):






  LpAeq,Tp(250 km/h) = LpAeq,Tp(Vtest) – 50 * log(vtest/250 km/h)







  vtest | = | Actual speed during the measurement |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |

(3)

If the maximum operational speed vmax of the unit is equal to or higher than 250 km/h, the pass-by noise shall be measured at 80 km/h and at its maximum speed with an upper test speed limit of 320 km/h. The measured pass-by noise value LpAeq,Tp(Vtest) at 80 km/h shall be normalised to the reference speed of 80 km/h LpAeq,Tp(80 km/h) using Formula (1). The normalised value shall not exceed the limit value LpAeq,Tp(80 km/h) as set out in point 4.2.3. The measured pass-by noise value at maximum speed LpAeq,Tp(Vtest) shall be normalised to the reference speed of 250 km/h LpAeq,Tp(250 km/h) using Formula (2). The normalised value shall not exceed the limit value LpAeq,Tp(250 km/h) as set out in point 4.2.3.

Formula (2):

LpAeq,Tp(250 km/h) = LpAeq,Tp(Vtest) – 50 * log(vtest/250 km/h)

vtest

=

Actual speed during the measurement

6.2.2.3.2.2.   Wagons

For wagons two classes of maximum operational speed are distinguished:

| (1) | If the maximum operational speed vmax of the unit is lower than or equal to 80 km/h, the pass-by noise shall be measured at its maximum speed. The measured pass-by noise value LpAeq,Tp(Vtest) shall be normalised to a reference APL of 0,225 m-1 LpAeq,Tp (APLref) using Formula (3). That value shall not exceed the limit value LpAeq,Tp(80 km/h) as set out in point 4.2.3.

  Formula (3):






  LpAeq,Tp (APLref) = LpAeq,Tp(Vtest) – 10 * log(APLwag/0,225 m-1)







  APLwag | = | Number of axles divided by the length over the buffers [m-1] |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| vtest | = | Actual speed during the measurement |

(1)

If the maximum operational speed vmax of the unit is lower than or equal to 80 km/h, the pass-by noise shall be measured at its maximum speed. The measured pass-by noise value LpAeq,Tp(Vtest) shall be normalised to a reference APL of 0,225 m-1 LpAeq,Tp (APLref) using Formula (3). That value shall not exceed the limit value LpAeq,Tp(80 km/h) as set out in point 4.2.3.

Formula (3):

LpAeq,Tp (APLref) = LpAeq,Tp(Vtest) – 10 * log(APLwag/0,225 m-1)

APLwag

=

Number of axles divided by the length over the buffers [m-1]

vtest

=

Actual speed during the measurement

| (2) | If the maximum operational speed vmax of the unit is higher than 80 km/h, the pass-by noise shall be measured at 80 km/h and at its maximum speed. Both measured pass-by noise values LpAeq,Tp(Vtest) shall be normalised to the reference speed of 80 km/h and to a reference APL of 0,225 m-1 LpAeq,Tp(APL ref, 80 km/h) using Formula (4). The normalised value shall not exceed the limit value LpAeq,Tp(80 km/h) as set out in point 4.2.3.

  Formula (4):






  LpAeq,Tp (APLref, 80 km/h) = LpAeq,Tp(Vtest) – 10 * log(APLwag/0,225 m-1) — 30 * log(vtest/80 km/h)







  APLwag | = | Number of axles divided by the length over the buffers [m-1] |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| vtest | = | Actual speed during the measurement |

(2)

If the maximum operational speed vmax of the unit is higher than 80 km/h, the pass-by noise shall be measured at 80 km/h and at its maximum speed. Both measured pass-by noise values LpAeq,Tp(Vtest) shall be normalised to the reference speed of 80 km/h and to a reference APL of 0,225 m-1 LpAeq,Tp(APL ref, 80 km/h) using Formula (4). The normalised value shall not exceed the limit value LpAeq,Tp(80 km/h) as set out in point 4.2.3.

Formula (4):

LpAeq,Tp (APLref, 80 km/h) = LpAeq,Tp(Vtest) – 10 * log(APLwag/0,225 m-1) — 30 * log(vtest/80 km/h)

APLwag

=

Number of axles divided by the length over the buffers [m-1]

vtest

=

Actual speed during the measurement

6.2.2.3.2.3.   Special vehicles

For special vehicles the same assessment procedure as set out in 6.2.2.3.2.1 applies. The measuring procedure shall be performed without additional trailer loads.

Special vehicles are deemed to comply with the pass-by noise level requirements in point 4.2.3 without measuring when they are:

| — | solely braked by either composite brake blocks or disc brakes, and |
| --- | --- |

The demonstration of conformity with the limit values on the driver's cab interior noise as set out in point 4.2.4 shall be carried out in accordance with the specification referenced in Appendix B, Index [2]. For special vehicles the measuring procedure shall be performed without additional trailer loads.

6.2.3.   Simplified evaluation

Instead of the test procedures as set out in point 6.2.2, it is permitted to substitute some or all of the tests by a simplified evaluation. The simplified evaluation consists of acoustically comparing the unit under assessment to an existing type (further referred to as the reference type) with documented noise characteristics.

The simplified evaluation may be used for each of the applicable basic parameters “stationary noise”, “starting noise”, “pass-by noise” and “driver's cab interior noise” autonomously and shall consist of providing evidence that the effects of the differences of the unit under assessment do not result in exceeding the limit values set out in point 4.2.

For the units under simplified evaluation, the proof of conformity shall include a detailed description of the noise relevant changes compared to the reference type. On the basis of that description, a simplified evaluation shall be performed. The estimated noise values shall include the uncertainties of the applied evaluation method. The simplified evaluation can either be a calculation and/or simplified measurement.

A unit certified on the basis of the simplified evaluation method shall not be used as a reference unit for a further evaluation.

If the simplified evaluation is applied for pass-by noise, the reference-type shall comply with at least one of the following:

| — | Chapter 4 of this Annex and for which the pass-by noise results are marked “comparable”, |
| --- | --- |

—

Chapter 4 of this Annex and for which the pass-by noise results are marked “comparable”,

| (1) | This TSI is applicable to all units of rolling stock in its scope which are placed on the market after 28 September 2023, except where point 7.1.1.2 “Application to ongoing projects” or point 7.1.1.3 “Application to special vehicles” of TSI LOC&PAS or point 7.1.1 “Application to ongoing projects” of TSI WAG applies. |
| --- | --- |

(1)

| (2) | Compliance with this Annex in its version applicable before 28 September 2023 is deemed equivalent to compliance with this TSI, except for the TSI changes listed in Appendix H. |
| --- | --- |

(2)

| (3) | For the rolling stock subsystem and the associated interoperability constituents, the rules related to the EC type or design examination certificates shall be as specified in point 7.1.3 of TSI LOC&PAS. and point 7.2.3 of TSI WAG. |
| --- | --- |

(3)

7.2.   Application of this TSI to existing subsystems

The principles to be applied by the applicants and authorising entities in case of change(s) to a rolling stock in operation or to an existing rolling stock type are defined in point 7.1.2 of LOC&PAS TSI and point 7.2.2 of WAG TSI.

7.2.1.   Provisions in case of changes to rolling stock in operation or to an existing rolling stock type

The applicant shall ensure that the noise levels of rolling stock subject to change(s) remain below the limits set out in the version of the TSI which was applicable when the rolling stock in question was first authorised. If no TSI existed at the time of the first authorisation, the applicant shall ensure that the noise levels of the rolling stock subject to change(s) are either not increased or remain below the limits set out in Decision 2006/66/EC or Commission Decision 2002/735/EC (3).

If an assessment is required, it shall be limited to the basic parameters affected by the change(s).

If the simplified evaluation is applied, the original unit may represent the reference unit in accordance with the provisions of point 6.2.3.

The replacement of a whole unit or (a) vehicle(s) within a unit (e.g. a replacement after a severe damage) does not require a conformity assessment against this TSI, as long as the unit or the vehicle(s) are identical to the ones they replace.

7.2.2.   Additional provisions for the application of this TSI to existing wagons

The restriction of the operation set out in Article 5a shall not apply to wagons mostly operated on lines with a gradient of more than 40 ‰, wagons with a maximum operating speed higher than 120 km/h, wagons with a maximum axle load higher than 22,5 t, wagons exclusively operated for infrastructure works and wagons used in rescue trains.

If a wagon is being equipped with either friction elements for wheel tread brakes covered by an EC Declaration of Conformity in accordance with this TSI or with friction elements for wheel tread brakes listed in Appendix G and no noise sources are added to the wagon, then it shall be assumed that the requirements of point 4.2.3 are met without further testing.

In addition, the Member States may provide maps illustrating the quieter routes on a voluntary basis. All lists and maps shall be published on the Agency website (http://www.era.europa.eu) no later than 9 months after 27.5.2019.

By the same date the Agency shall inform the Commission of the lists and maps of quieter routes. The Commission shall inform the Member States accordingly through the committee referred to in Article 51 of Directive (EU) 2016/797.

D.2   Update of quieter routes

The freight traffic data used for the update of quieter routes in accordance with Article 5c(2) shall refer to the last three years preceding the update for which the data is available. Where, due to exceptional circumstances, the freight traffic diverges in a given year from that average number by more than 25 %, the Member State concerned may calculate the average number on the basis of the remaining two years. Member States shall ensure that the infrastructure managers update quieter routes in the RINF (application) as soon as these updates become available. Updates shall apply from the next timetable change following their publication.

The routes designated as quieter routes shall remain as such following the update unless during the period concerned the volume of traffic has decreased by more than 50 % and the average number of daily operated freight trains during the night-time is lower than 12.

In the case of new and upgraded lines, the expected volume of traffic shall be used for the designation of those lines as quieter routes.

Appendix F

Assessment of acoustic performance of a brake block

The purpose of this procedure is to demonstrate the acoustic performance of a composite brake block at interoperability constituent level.

The procedure consists of the following steps:

1.   Measure the acoustic roughness of a wheel representative of the brake block under assessment.

Wheel acoustic roughness development on bench test

New brake blocks shall be used. Only new or reprofiled wheels shall be used. The wheels shall be free of any damage (cracks, flats, etc.).

One of the following brake performance test programs shall be applied to at least one wheel of 920 mm nominal diameter:

| — | A2_a for LL-Blocks and A1_a for K-blocks of the specification referenced in Appendix B, index [4]; |
| --- | --- |

—

A2_a for LL-Blocks and A1_a for K-blocks of the specification referenced in Appendix B, index [4];

| — | D.1 for LL-Blocks and C.1 for K-blocks of the specification referenced in Appendix B, index [5]; |
| --- | --- |

—

D.1 for LL-Blocks and C.1 for K-blocks of the specification referenced in Appendix B, index [5];

| — | J.2 of the specification referenced in Appendix B, index [5] for other blocks. |
| --- | --- |

—

J.2 of the specification referenced in Appendix B, index [5] for other blocks.

The selected program shall be completed and the results of the measurement series after completion shall be used to determine the wheel roughness index.

It is optional to continue with a second run of the selected program. If that option is chosen, the results of the measurement series after completion of the second run shall be used to determine the wheel roughness index. The results from both runs shall be documented.

The second run shall be performed with the same wheel, but the brake block may be renewed and replaced with another block of the same type. In that option, the bedding-in of the new brake block shall be completely executed at the beginning of the second run.

Wheel acoustic roughness measurement procedure

The measurement will be performed as set out in the specification referenced in Appendix B, Index [6]. In order to ensure the representativeness of the acoustic roughness of the wheel tread, 8 measurement lines spaced 5 mm are deemed sufficient instead of the positions set out in the specification referenced in Appendix B, Index [6].

The measurement shall be performed during the wheel acoustic roughness development on bench test specified in the previous section in accordance with one of the tables below:
