29、networks. In a first step it was ensured that at least 6 networks showed interest in participating in this study. The initial idea was to collect the number of isolated defects which exceed certain threshold levels. A discussion between the networks showed very different approaches concerning defini
30、tion and counting rules of such isolated defects. In addition some networks had very limited availability of appropriate national databases and evaluation tools and concerns regarding costs and effort of a too detailed evaluation were raised. So the experts of CEN/TC 256/SC 1/WG 28 worked out an alt
31、ernative methodology which was more practical for most participating networks and less time consuming. First of all, the number of measurement parameters was limited to 8. For the next step, it was agreed to base the survey on cumulative frequency distributions of exceeding lengths. These cover at l
32、east the range of thresholds up to and above the IALs according to EN 13848-5. That means that for each threshold of a measurement parameter, the number of metres exceeding this threshold within the participating network were determined. Finally each of the participating networks provided data for a
33、 representative part of their network according to the technical specification described below in 5.2. With the help of a standardised inquiry form, the cumulative frequency distributions of the data were determined and were sent to the CEN/TC 256/SC 1/WG 28 clearing office. In order to make the dat
34、a anonymous, the clearing office assigned a random network number to the data of each network and summarized the data in anonymous charts. These were 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 disc
35、lose or publish any of the data or the assignment between data and participating networks as a whole or in parts to anyone else. 5.2 Collected data 5.2.1 Scope of survey The survey collected data for all main lines of the participating networks; main tracks in stations are included in the survey as
36、well. Isolated switches or group of switches situated in plain line and run at line speed are included in the provided data, unless typical errors due to measuring systems occur. In PD CEN/TR 16978:2016CEN/TR 16978:2016 (E) 8 the latter case, the respective data were excluded from the survey. In any
37、 case, all side tracks have been excluded. This prevents counting non-representative exceedances. The survey was based on measurements of track taken typically at 0,25 m spacing. For a network length of 10 000 km track this would result in a cumulative frequency distribution comprising over 40 milli
38、on measurements. The survey was conducted using the most current 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, all data sets containing at least 10
39、 % of the network were taken into account while the track layout and track quality considered in the sample had to be as representative as possible for the whole network. The track length considered for each speed class had to be quoted in the standardised inquiry form. 5.2.2 Speed classes The surve
40、y was done in 5 speed classes according to the EN 13848 series: 1) 230 km/h V 300 km/h; 2) 160 km/h V 230 km/h; 3) 120 km/h V 160 km/h; 4) 80 km/h V 120 km/h; 5) V 80km/h. Speeds higher than 300 km/h were not taken into account due to the lack of sufficient data. In order to ensure anonymity of netw
41、orks with high-speed tracks, the network lengths of the participating networks were not disclosed in the results. They were just used as weighting factors to calculate European exceedance lengths. 5.2.3 Parameters investigated The survey was done on the parameters in the ranges given in Table 2. PD

46、ach of the parameters above, the length of exceedances (LoEs) were collected for all threshold levels in steps of 1 mm according to the range of values given in Table 2, except for twist where the LoEs were collected for threshold levels in steps of 1 per mille. All LoEs were collected in the units
47、of metres per 100 km which means it was collected from the number of metres which exceed the threshold level related to a distance of 100 km. For longitudinal level and alignment in domain D1 as well as D2 the exceedance lengths of left and right rail have been added. 5.2.5 Data processing The table
48、s of LoEs for all participating networks for the 5 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 considered speed class was used as a weighting factor. In this way European Lengths o
49、f Exceedances were determined for the 5 speed classes and all 8 parameters. These cumulative frequency distributions are shown in Clause 6.
