Railway Applications: Track - Switches and Crossings - Requirements for Geometric Design
Also Known As:
The BS EN 13232-2:2003+A1:2011 standard is focused on providing guidelines and requirements for the geometric design of railway track switches and crossings.
The standard covers various aspects including geometric design principles for wheel guidance, defining the basic limits of supply, supporting applied forces adequately, and establishing tolerance levels. These aspects are exemplified through their application to a turnout, which is a common component in railway track systems.
The standard highlights the significance of turnouts and explains that the principles used in designing turnouts are applicable to more complex layouts as well. It aims to ensure that the geometrical design of switches and crossings meet the necessary standards and specifications for optimal functioning and safety in railway applications.
