This document provides terms and definitions for rail networks and rail vehicles guided by track and wheels, both made of steel and/or other materials. This includes heavy rail and urban rail systems. This document is applicable as a reference for future European Standards and the revision of existing standards and represents a set of general technical terms and definitions. This document does not apply to specific applications such as: 一 track construction and maintenance machines not travelling on rails; 一 road-rail machines when not travelling on rails; 一 magnetic levitation transport networks and vehicles;
-guided busways and guided busses; non-public rail networks and vehicles, e.g. mine rail systems; rail networks and vehicles exclusively for leisure, historical and tourist purposes, e.g. mountain- field-, park, cable rail systems, funiculars and theme park rides; -trolley busses. Not in the scope are terms and definitions related to: -control command and signalling, operation, 一- geographical aspects. 2 Normative references There are no normative references in this document.
3 Terms and definitions For the purposes of this document, the following terms and definitions apply. ISO and IEC maintain terminological databases for use in standardization at the following addresses: ●IEC Electropedia: available at http://www.electropedia.org/ ●ISO Online browsing platform: available at https://www.iso.org/obp These are presented in English, French and German. In some cases, figures support the definitions. The symbols used are explained in Table 1.
3.1 rail system rail network, related rolling stock, and the associated operation Note 1 to entry: Operation means the procedures and logistics permitting the operation of the rail system. Note 2 to entry: Rail networks may have sections of rack railway without being regarded as another or separate rail network. 3.1.1 conventional rail system rail system in which rolling stock is supported and guided by steel wheels on two steel rails, located beneath the rolling stock, regardless of their design speed and track gauge Note 1 to entry: The term “traditional” or “classic” rail system is also used. Note 2 to entry: The term ‘conventional’ had a different meaning before the integration of the relevant ‘Technical Specifications on Interoperability’ (TSI). The meaning is not followed in this standard. EN 17343:2020 (E/F/D) 3.1.2 unconventional rail system rail system in which rolling stock is supported and guided by means other than steel wheels on two steel rails, located beneath the rolling stock EXAMPLES Monorail systems, magnetic levitation (MAGLEV) systems, hanging systems, rubber tyred systems. 3.1.3 heavy rail system conventional rail system intended for intra- and inter-regional and/or international transportation Note 1 to entry: The heavy rail system comprises the heavy rail network, related rolling stock and the associated operation. Note 2 to entry: Typically, a heavy rail system has standard or broad gauge tracks and infrastructure which are designed for an axle load of at least 17 t. The vehicles comply with a structural design category L, P-I, P-II or F-I according to EN 12663-1:2010+A1:2014 and a crashworthiness design category C-I according to EN 15227:2008+A1:2010. Note 3 to entry: The heavy rail system is typically intended for passenger and freight transport. 14 3.1.4 urban rail system rail system intended for local, urban and suburban transportation Note 1 to entry: The urban rail system comprises the urban rail network, related rolling stock and the associated operation. Note 2 to entry: The urban rail system covers the transport in urban centres like towns, cities or conurbations and between such centres and surrounding areas. Note 3 to entry: The urban rail system is predominantly intended for passenger transport.BS EN 17343 pdf download.
