Component for increasing the positional stability and functionality of a sleeper Use often depends on topology and line routing Main function: Increasing the lateral stability (Often used in low radius curves in the case of continuous welded rail.) Dovetails with ballast Improves the transmission of longitudinal forces from the running rail into the sleeper (e.g. anti creep device) Assigned to a sleeper Changed to abstract class, GoToMeeting / 22.7.2019
Layer composed of broken stones under the sleepers
The group which used to support directly contactline, feeder or earthwire, contains all the parts installed between supports and conductors(including insulators).
In traction power system, overhead conductors besides overhead contact line include feeder line, reinforcing feeder, return line, positive feeder, protective wire, lightning protective wire, earth wire and so on.
The longitudinal system that supports the contact wire, including catenary wire dropper and stich wire.
The electric circuit comprising the running rails or a return current rail, their electrical connections and the return cables to the sub-station.(UIC R 791-2006) All conductors which form the intended path for the traction return current and the current under fault conditions Note 1 to entry: The conductors can be for example: -running rails; -return conductor rails; -return conductors; -return cables.(IEC 60050-811-35-01)
Generally bolts which are firmly fixed to permanent components such as foundations, platform edges or civil engineering structures. Their position and elevation are known to the nearest mm (planar, x/y/z coordinates). Serve as a reference for inspecting or ensuring (e.g. by mechanical tamper) the ideal location and elevation of the track panel and other installation elements. Serve to hold technical measuring elements (e.g. prism mirrors)
Special section bar (usually of steel) ensuring the guidance of the wheel of a rolling stock or other heavy machineries. In railway, two rails are combined to form the track.
Provide Energy port for different low voltage services (signaling, telecom..)
Railway crossing covering for roads (secured/unsecured). Superstructure type also possible with ballast. Covering can be driven on in the transverse direction. Usually used in public areas. Often entails changes to the stiffness of the superstructure/substructure.
Include foundation, supporting elements and suspension.
Protection against electric shock for people and equipments.
Device intended for electrical insulation and mechanical fixing of equipment or conductors which are subject to electric potential differences.(IEC 60050-471-01-10)
(EN 13232-1-2004) Consists of one stock rail and its switch rail complete with small fittings. It is right or left hand as seen by an observer in the centre of the track facing the switch heel from the switch toe.
Equipement used to control operational equipment at a distance using the transmission of information by telecommunication techniques. (IEC 60050-371-01-01)
An electric line whose conductors are supported above ground, generally by means of insulators and appropriate supports Note XXXXX Certain overhead lines may also be constructed with insulated conductors.(IEC 60050-466-01-02)
Is call OverHeadline in the Data Requirement.
(EN 13481-1): Assembly of components which secures a rail to the supporting structure and retains it in the required position whilst permitting any necessary vertical, lateral and longitudinal movement.
Type of fastening depends on type of rail. Do we have to model it? Where should we put all these rules? Answer: Rules should be put in MVDs
Mechanical assembly with e.g. fishplates to join two rail ends with optional functions (insulation or expansion capacity).
Assembly of components attached to the main support structure that supports and registers the overhead contact line (CENELEC - EN50119)Support consisting of one or more transverse members projecting from a mast or structure.(IEC 60050-811-33-30/UIC R 791-2006)
Abstract, common ancestor of all Signalling elements.
Common ancestor of all Signalling elements Agreed. Will be further investigated i.e. to support common properties for example. (Murten 19.6.19)
Switch for alternatively closing and opening one or more electric circuits (IEC 60050-151-12-23)
All conductors which form the intended path for the earthing.
Logical link between sleeper cap / rail clamp and sleeper by positioning, consistent with modeling of fastening
Clamps and fittings provide the mechanical and structural connection of components and provide electrical connections in contact line systems and within cross-span structures.They have to withstand both operating currents and short-circuit current loadsin the energised part of the overhead contact line system.In addition to the mechanical stresses,short-circuit current loads occur in the passive part of the overhead contact line system,at rigid and flexible terminations and also in cross-span equipment.
DataType to specify a linear positioning relative to the Track.
(NF EN 13232-1-2004) Trackwork ensuring the support and guidance of a vehicle along any given route among various diverging or intersecting tracks.
To supply electric traction system from high voltage.
Abstract class representing any panel for track physical objects.
TS will provide instructions to manage properties that are inherited by many objects
all different kinds of objects inherits the shared properties from "Signal Object"
Track part is the basic volume object for all objects of track superstructure. It refers to a segment of track system engineering which is part of the track system and has a unique structural type and functional type.
This class regroups all the telecommunication equipment that must be powered in order to be able to function.
The equipment cabinet is usually made of cold-rolled steel or alloy for storing computer and related control equipment, and provides protection against electromagnetic interference.
The expressed positioning is valid only for trackside cabinets. Most cabinets are located indoor.
