Railway Applications - Track - Track Geometry Quality - Part 1: Characterization of Track Geometry
Also Known As:
The DIN EN 13848-1 standard provides a set of definitions and requirements for track geometry measurements in the railway industry. This standard aims to establish consistency and comparability of track geometry measurements among different measuring systems.
The standard specifies the principal track geometry parameters, which are essential for evaluating the quality of track geometry, and sets the minimum requirements for measurement, analysis methods, and presentation of results. By defining these parameters and requirements, the standard ensures that track geometry measurements are conducted accurately and consistently across different systems.
The primary purpose of this standard is to enable the comparability of measurement outputs from various track geometry measuring systems. This allows for effective analysis and evaluation of track geometry quality. By ensuring consistency in track geometry measurements, the standard enhances safety and efficiency in railway operations.
