EVS-EN 14531-2:2015

This European Standard describes the step by step method utilising time step integration which may be used for all types of train sets, units or single vehicles, including high speed, locomotive and passenger coaches, conventional vehicles and wagons. This standard does not specify the performance requirements. It enables the calculation of the various aspects of the performance: stopping or slowing distances, adhesion requirements, force calculations, etc. This standard enables the verification by calculation of the stopping and slowing performance for high speed and conventional trains operating on high speed and conventional infrastructure. It may also be used for the detailed investigation of stopping or slowing performance at any design/verification stage. Other calculation methods may be used providing that the order of accuracy achieved is in accordance with this European Standard. This standard also includes examples of distance and other dynamic calculations, see Annex B;
