Colours and Colour Limits for Signal Lights in Railway Traffic and in Local Public Transport
Also Known As:
The DIN 6163 standard provides guidelines for the use of colours in signal lights used in railway traffic and local public transport systems. The standard defines specific colours and color limits that should be used to ensure effective communication and safety in these transportation systems.
The standard aims to create a consistent and universally understood set of colours for signal lights. By establishing a clear and defined colour scheme, it helps to reduce confusion and ensures that signals are easily recognizable and interpreted correctly by operators, passengers, and other road users. These colours and limits are crucial for maintaining the efficiency and safety of railway and transport systems.
The DIN 6163 standard acknowledges the importance of colours in transmitting information quickly and efficiently. It ensures that signal lights adhere to these defined colours and limits to maintain a high level of safety and consistency across railway traffic and local public transport networks.
