Gauging (1)
This point concerns the rules for calculation and verification intended for sizing the rolling stock to run on one or several infrastructures without interference risk.
For units designed to be operated on other track gauge(s) than 1 520 mm system:
(2)
The applicant shall select the intended reference profile including the reference profile for the lower parts.
This reference profile shall be recorded in the technical documentation defined in point 4.2.12.
(3)
The compliance of a unit with this intended reference profile shall be established by one of the methods set out in the specification referenced in Appendix J-1, index [7].
(4)
In case the unit is declared as compliant with one or several of the reference profiles G1, GA, GB, GC or DE3, including those related to the lower part GI1, GI2 or GI3, as set out in the specification referenced in Appendix J-1, index [7], compliance shall be established by the kinematic method as set out in the specification referenced in Appendix J-1, index [7].
The compliance to those reference profile(s) shall be recorded in the technical documentation defined in point 4.2.12.
(5)
For electric units, the pantograph gauge shall be verified by calculation according to the specification referenced in Appendix J-1, index [7] to ensure that the pantograph envelope complies with the mechanical kinematic pantograph gauge which in itself is determined according to Appendix D of Commission Regulation (EU) No. 1301/2014 (*) (‘TSI ENE’), and depends on the choice made for the pantograph head geometry: the two permitted possibilities are defined in point 4.2.8.2.9.2.
The voltage of the power supply is considered in the infrastructure gauge in order to ensure the proper insulation distances between the pantograph and fixed installations.
(6)
The pantograph sway as specified in point 4.2.10 of TSI ENE and used for the mechanical kinematic gauge calculation shall be justified by calculations or measurements as set out in the specification referenced in Appendix J-1, index [7].
For units designed to be operated on track gauge of 1 520 mm system:
(7)
The static profile of the vehicle shall be within the ‘T’ uniform vehicle gauge; the reference profile for infrastructure is the ‘S’ gauge.
This profile is specified in Appendix B .
(8)
For electric units the pantograph gauge shall be verified by calculation to ensure that the pantograph envelope complies with the mechanical static pantograph gauge which is defined in Appendix D of TSI ENE; the choice made for the pantograph head geometry shall be taken into account: the permitted possibilities are defined in point 4.2.8.2.9.2.
_____________ (*) Commission Regulation (EU) No 1301/2014 of 18 November 2014 on the technical specifications for interoperability relating to the ‘energy’ subsystem of the rail system in the Union (OJ L 356, 12.12.2014, p. 179).’; (24)
point 4.2.3.2.1 is replaced by the following: ‘4.2.3.2.1.
Axle load parameter (1)
The axle load in combination with the axle spacing, with the length of the unit and with the maximum allowed speed for the unit on the considered line is an interface parameter between the unit and the infrastructure.
