What is BS EN 50239 - Radio remote control system of the traction vehicle about?
BS EN 50239 discusses railway applications. BS EN 50239 is a European standard that provides
radio remote control system of traction vehicle for shunting application in railways.
BS EN 50239 outlines application requirements relevant to the radio remote control of a traction unit for shunting application, operated by personnel not physically located at the controls within the vehicle cab.
BS EN 50239 applies to newly manufactured vehicles and retrofitted vehicles.
Note: Requirements specification for radio means and wireless protocols, as well as a requirements specification for wireless communication between elements of the train, are not covered by BS EN 50239.
Who is BS EN 50239 - Radio remote control system of the traction vehicle for?
BS EN 50239 on radio remote control system of the traction vehicle for railway applications is useful for:
- Radio remote control system manufacturers
- Radio remote control system developers and operators
- Test centers for radio remote control system of traction vehicle
- Regulatory authorities
Why should you use BS EN 50239 - Radio remote control system of traction vehicle?
Radio remote control is a mode in which the traction vehicle is operated by the radio remote control system. A traction vehicle control unit is a device located on the traction vehicle to transform the output signals from the radio control receiver or the local controls located on the traction vehicle into commands and control signals for valves and monitoring functions.
BS EN 50239 guideline assists you with requirements for radio remote control system, radio remote control system components, transmitter, receiver, traction vehicle control unit, associated interface, basic command signals, additional command signals, and stop functions for efficient building and operating radio remote control system of traction vehicle for shunting application.
BS EN 50239 assists in the prevention of inadvertent movement whilst traction vehicle are at a standstill and provides safety process of the system components for radio remote control system of traction vehicle.
In addition, BS EN 50239 provides maintenance, modification, and extensions protocols for radio remote control systems to ensure safety at its best levels.
What’s changed since the last update?
BS EN 50239:2018 supersedes EN 50239:1999, which is withdrawn. BS EN 50239:2018 has made some technical changes compared to EN 50239:1999. These includes:
- The text of this European Standard is considering the only shunting application
- The title has been replaced by “Railway applications – Radio remote control system of traction vehicles for shunting application”
