1 Scope
This part of this European Standard specifies:
-
— characterisation of wheel and track dimensions;
-
— geometric design principles for wheel guidance;
-
— design principles for wheel load transfer;
-
— deciding whether movable crossings are needed.
These are illustrated by their application to turnout components:
-
— switches;
-
— crossings;
-
— check rails.
but the principles apply equally to more complex layouts.
