4. Nominal minimum speed The nominal minimum speed determines the geometrical characteristics of the section (radius of curves and cant), the safety installations (braking distances) and the braking coefficient of the rolling stock. On existing lines, maximum speeds are dependent upon the radius of the curves. The nominal minimum speed selected (160 km/h) is the general practice on sections with straight track or wide-radius curves. In some cases the layout and signalling can be improved, without excessive investment, to allow 160 km/h to be reached on some sections. On new lines much higher nominal speeds can be adopted. The nominal speeds selected are those for new lines recently completed, under construction or at the planning stage. The nominal speed is not the same as the commercial speed. The commercial speed is the distance between the origin and destination of a train divided by the total journey time, including intermediate stops.
