PD CEN/TR 16513:2014CEN/TR 16513:2014 (E) 5 4 Methodology 4.1 General considerations and confidentiality The objective of the European track quality survey (ETQS) was to get an understanding and overview of the track geometry quality across

19、Europe assessed as standard deviations. In order to achieve this objective without an exchange of an enormous amount of raw data, an approach was agreed based on the evaluation of quality data of thirteen participating networks. The quality data of each network was provided in the form of cumulative

20、 frequency distributions of alignment and longitudinal level. Each of the participating networks provided quality data for a representative part of their network according to the technical specification described below in 4.2. With the help of a standardized inquiry form, the cumulative frequency di

21、stributions of the quality data were determined and were sent to the CEN/TC 256/SC 1/WG 28 clearing office. In order to make the data anonymous, the clearing office assigned a random network number to the quality data of each network and summarized the track geometry quality data in an anonymous com

22、parison table. This was supplied to CEN/TC 256/SC 1/WG 28 only. Without agreement of all participating networks neither the clearing office nor CEN/TC 256/SC 1/WG 28 may disclose or publish any of the quality data or the assignment between quality data and participating networks as a whole or in par

23、ts to anyone else. 4.2 Collected data 4.2.1 Scope of survey The survey collected data for all main lines, main tracks in stations and isolated switches or group of switches situated in plain line and run at line speed. All side tracks, station tracks or other less important tracks were excluded. The

24、 survey was based on measurements of track taken typically at 25 cm spacing which results in a large volume of data. For example, a network length of 10 000 km track would result in a cumulative frequency distribution comprising of over 40 million measuring points. The survey was conducted using the

25、 most recent measurement value for each location. This was summarized in a cumulative frequency distribution. Where it was not possible for a participating network to do the calculation over their whole network, the calculation was done for at least 5 % of the network while the track layout and trac

26、k quality considered in the sample had to be as representative as possible for the network. The track length considered for each speed class had to be quoted in the standardized inquiry form. 4.2.2 Speed classes applied The survey was done in five speed classes according to the EN 13848 series: 230

27、km/h V 300 km/h 160 km/h V 230 km/h 120 km/h V 160 km/h 80 km/h V 120 km/h V 80 km/h Speeds higher than 300 km/h were not taken into account due to the lack of sufficient data. PD CEN/TR 16513:2014CEN/TR 16513:2014 (E) 6 In order to ensure anonymity of networks with high speed tracks, the network le

28、ngths of the participating networks were not disclosed in the final comparison table. They were just used as weighting factors to calculate a European Track Quality. 4.2.3 Calculation of standard deviation The survey was done using standard deviations of longitudinal level SD LL and alignment SD AL

29、in the domain D1 (3 m 25 m) in accordance with EN 13848-1. Where the origin of the measurement data was chord based, they were re-coloured to obtain D1. Data of left and right rail were combined as a mean of the standard deviations of each rail as follows: , SD SD SD LL left LL right LL 2 + = (1) ,

30、SD SD SD AL left AL right AL + = 2(2) The calculation of the standard deviation was specified as follows: calculation length: 200 m to 250 m; calculation step: preferably at every measurement databreak, e.g. 0,25 m. If not possible, a calculation step up to 250 m may be chosen. Slightly different de

31、finitions of standard deviations were allowed if it was proven that the statistical influence on the cumulative frequency was small. 4.2.4 Calculation of cumulative frequency distributions Once these parameters had been calculated the cumulative frequency distribution was determined in steps of 0,01

32、 mm for each speed class. 4.3 Data processing The cumulative frequency distributions of all participating networks for the five speed classes were produced and a weighted average was calculated for each step of the frequency distribution. The line length of each participating network in the consider

33、ed speed class was used as weighting factor. In this way European Track Quality distributions were determined for the five speed classes and both SD LL and SD AL. These cumulative frequency distributions are represented in Figures 1 and 3 and in Table A.1. 5 Participating networks and involvement 5.

This represents a 37 % sample of the participating networks. The total track length of all the participating net

36、works is about 160 000 km, this is more than half of the track length of the European Union member states. Some networks provided data for nearly all the lines, others provided smaller samples. In any case, they have been chosen carefully as representative for the speed class in the whole network. T

This can be observed for both longitudinal level and alignment. The spread of track quality (90 % value of the distributi

43、on of standard deviations) between different networks is wider for low speeds (V 230 km/h). This can be observed for both longitudinal level and alignment. For a given speed class, this spread is also wider for longitudinal level than for alignment. When comparing the survey results with QN1 and QN2

44、 levels, it was found that: for most speed classes, QN1 and QN2 do not match the 50 % and 90 % values of the corresponding distributions for both alignment and longitudinal level (see Figures 1 and 3); for all speed classes up to 230 km/h, QN2 is lower than the 90 % values of the SD LL distribution,

45、 however they are within 20 % except for lines up to and including 80 km/h (see Figure 1); for all speed classes, the 50 % values of the SD LL distribution are better than QN1 levels (see Figure 1); for all speed classes above 80 km/h, the 50 % values of the SD AL distribution are better than QN1 le

46、vels (see Figure 3), it is not practical to have a realistic track quality distribution that fits both QN1 and QN2. This is due to the closeness of their values. Positioning QN1 and QN2 on the cumulative frequency distributions for all speed ranges leads to results presented in Table 3. PD CEN/TR 16

The five TQCs are defined as follows: Class A below 10 % of the distribution corresponding to the best 10 %; Class B between 10 % and 30 % of the distribution; Class C between 30 % and 70

49、% of the distribution; Class D between 70 % and 90 % of the distribution; Class E above 90 % of the distribution corresponding to the worst 10 %.
