27、013 (E) 4 Introduction This European Standard was produced following a review of EN 15153-2:2007 to incorporate the requirements of rolling stock TSIs. BS EN 15153-2:2013EN 15153-2:2013 (E) 5 1 Scope This European standard defines warning horn requirements which deliver the required audibility of ap
28、proaching trains, including high speed and conventional rail and excluding road, metro and self-contained systems. For this purpose, the following requirements are included: functional and technical requirements of the warning horn as a component, functional and technical requirements of the integra
29、tion of warning horns into the vehicle, and test requirements. Operational requirements for warning horns have been excluded. NOTE The requirements for the control of warning horns can be found in prEN 16186-1. 2 Normative references The following documents, in whole or in part, are normatively refe
30、renced in this document and are indispensable for its application. For dated references, only the edition cited applies. For undated references, the latest edition of the referenced document (including any amendments) applies. prEN 16186-1, Railway applications Drivers Cab Part 1: Visibility, layout

All locomotives shall be fitted with warning horn
37、(s) for each direction of travel. Consideration shall be given to the location of the warning horns, taking into account the possible exposure of staff to excessive noise. NOTE The aim is to control the risk of accidental hearing damage when a horn is sounded at a time when a person is working close
38、 to the horn. In order to minimise environmental impact, warning horns should be orientated along the longitudinal axis of the vehicle. It is permissible for trains to be fitted with additional audible warning devices. 5.2 Acoustic requirements 5.2.1 Frequency The notes of the audible warning horns
39、are intended to be recognisable as being from a train and not be similar to warning devices used in road transport, factories or other common warning devices. The warning horn frequencies shall be selected from the following options: a) Two separately sounded warning horns. The fundamental frequenci
40、es of the warning horn notes shall be: high note: 370 Hz 20 Hz BS EN 15153-2:2013EN 15153-2:2013 (E) 7 low note: 311 Hz 20 Hz b) Two separately sounded warning horns. The fundamental frequencies of the warning horn notes shall be: high note: 660 Hz 30 Hz low note: 370 Hz 20 Hz It is permissible for
41、these horns to be sounded simultaneously. c) Two warning horns sounded simultaneously. The fundamental frequencies of the notes shall be: high note: 470 Hz 25 Hz low note: 370 Hz 20 Hz d) Three warning horns sounded simultaneously. The fundamental frequencies of the notes shall be: high note: 622 Hz
42、 30 Hz middle note: 470 Hz 25 Hz low note: 370 Hz 20 Hz Where a second sound is required for cases c) and d), this shall be a separately sounded note of 370 Hz 20 Hz. In the case of trains intended for national use only, the deviation in Annex D is permissible. 5.2.2 Sound pressure level The C-weigh
43、ted sound pressure level LpCeq,Tproduced by each horn sounded separately (or in a group if designed to sound simultaneously) shall be between 101 dB and 109 dB when measured and verified in accordance with the requirements defined in Clause 6. In the case of trains intended for national use only, th
44、e requirements of Annex D may apply. 5.3 Operation The controls for warning horns shall be in accordance with prEN 16186-1. 5.4 Energy supply Warning horns shall be operated using an energy source that is readily available on the vehicle carrying the horn. The horn shall meet the technical requireme
45、nts of this European Standard over the full range of energy levels encountered on the vehicle in its normal operational condition. Where agreed between contractors, the horn shall be operational over an extended range of energy levels. 5.5 Impact protection Warning horns and their control systems sh
46、ould be protected, so far as it is practicable, from impact and subsequent blockage by airborne objects such as debris, dust, snow, hail and birds. Where such protection features are used, the acoustic requirements shall apply with any protection features in place. BS EN 15153-2:2013EN 15153-2:2013
47、(E) 8 6 Test requirements 6.1 Environmental test conditions Where tests on the train are conducted, acoustic measurements of warning horns shall be carried out with the horns mounted to rail vehicles in an open, flat site, as shown in Figure 1. Neither acoustically reflective nor acoustically absorb
48、ing surfaces are allowed in the test site. Measurements on ice, snow and frozen soil or frozen ballast shall not be undertaken. Key D = 25 m R 2D 1 front of train 2 measurement position 3 open area Figure 1 Open site for warning horn measurements The weather conditions (ambient temperature, humidity
49、, wind speed, wind direction and precipitation) shall be registered. The LpCeq,T with T = 20 s of background noise at the measurement positions shall be at least 10 dB below the noise level obtained when measuring the noise from the horn in the presence of background noise. For frequency analysis, this difference shall be at least 10 dB in each frequency band of interest. Where additional te
