2.   PURPOSE

2.1.   General

The Register of Infrastructure is used for planning purposes in designing new trains and developing routes before the start of operation. Therefore the Register of Infrastructure supports the processes described hereafter.

2.2.   Designing rolling stock subsystems

Compliance with TSIs and Notified National Technical Rules is essential from the start of the design of new or the redesign of existing subsystems throughout the whole manufacturing process. Parameters of the Register of Infrastructure should be used in order to meet infrastructure characteristics for the intended use of the rolling stock.

2.3.   Ensuring technical compatibility for fixed installations

| (1) | The Notified Body checks the conformity of the subsystems with the applicable TSI(s) based on information in the relevant TSI and in the registers. It covers the verification of interfaces with the system into which it is incorporated. Verification of interfaces for technical compatibility may be ensured by consulting the Register of Infrastructure. |

Requirement in CCS TSI is not precise.

M

1.1.1.3.8.15

Maximum permitted impedance between opposite wheels of a wheelset

[N.NN]

Impedance given in ohm.

Compatibility with track circuits. A track circuit is only able to detect rolling stock if the impedance between rails does not exceed a certain value. This value is given by the value the impedance of the opposite wheels of the wheelsets and the contact resistance at the wheel-rail surface. The interface requirement given here is only related to the electrical resistance between the running surfaces of the opposite wheels of a wheelset.

M

1.1.1.3.8.16

Minimum permitted impedance between pantograph and wheels

[N.NN]

Compatibility with track circuits. In track circuit detection systems, harmonics generated by the power supply system can generate interference and there can be a cross-over effect through the catenary system from one track to another. Sufficiently high vehicle impedance prevents this.

M

1.1.1.3.8.17

M

1.1.1.3.9.2

Tilting supported

[Y + link/N]
