For the purpose of determination of permissible speeds and for definiti
29、on of the turnout, curvature is defined by the radius of the track centreline. The guiding principles of curves are given in this standard as they apply to switches and crossings. Switches and crossings are normally designed without differential cant; particular requirements shall be specified. In o
30、rder to maintain safe and continuous support and guidance of wheels, certain rules of tangency are imposed. Speed and radius are then related to lateral acceleration. Cant deficiency is derived from this. Switches and crossings are characterised by changes in lateral acceleration, so rules for both
31、steady and sudden changes between radii are included in this section. Calculations and rules relate to vehicles with 2 axles or vehicles with 2-axle bogies. Vehicles with other than 2 axles may require special consideration and as such their configuration shall be provided by the Customer. These rul
32、es are defined for steady-state design, i.e. without acceleration. Requirements of a dynamic nature shall be stated by the Customer.

33、Standard, the terms and definitions given in EN 13232-1:2003 and the following apply. Key reference points relating to turnout geometry and the limits of supply of a turnout are illustrated in Figure 1. Key 1 Actual switch toe 6 Limits of supply (front joints) 2 Mathematical point of switch 7 Origin
34、 of switch curve 3 Tumout intersection 8 Centreline radius 4 Theoretical intersection 9 Turnout angle 5 Limits of supply (heel joints) Figure 1 Key reference points 3.2.2 General tangency rules At any change in radius the two radii shall be mutually tangential at the running edges. To achieve this t
35、he centres of adjacent curves shall lie on the same radial line (see Figure 2). Exceptions to the mutual tangency rule may occur. These are: along the low-side curve of a turnout where gauge variation occurs; at the switch toe, for example, to shorten the switch rail. Details are given in prEN 13232
36、-3 and prEN 13232-5.

The following
37、items are both necessary and sufficient for such a definition of a turnout. The following shall be defined by the Customer and numerical values provided to the Supplier. Note that some values may be different from those for plain line : gauge; speed; maximum lateral acceleration or cant deficiency;
38、maximum rate of change of lateral acceleration or cant deficiency; turnout intersection point and angle (see Figure 3); limits of supply (front joints, heel joints); lowside gauge variation (if any). For a crossover or junction, in addition, the following shall be defined by the Customer and provide
39、d to the Supplier: distance between main line track centrelines. For switches and crossings on a curved main line, the following must be defined and provided by the Customer: main line curvature; main line and branch line cant through turnout. The key points whose location shall be agreed between Cu
40、stomer and Supplier are as follows: BS EN 13232-2:2003+A1:2011EN 13232-2:2003+A1:2011 (E) 8 origin of switch curve; real switch toe (RP); theoretical intersection (of crossing). Key 1 Overall length 2 Tangent length 3 Turnout intersection 4 Turnout angle Figure 3 Setting out diagram Radii of main an
41、d branch lines and the positions at which they change shall be agreed, for example as illustrated in Figure 4a) for circular geometry and 4b for transitional geometry, together with: centreline radii; origin of switch curve to positions of changes of radii; tangent offset (if any); where such change
42、s of radii shall be bounded either by included angle, or by longitudinal distance or by lateral offset, or in the case of a transition section, by such data as is necessary to uniquely define its shape.

43、alKey 1 Centreline 2 Transition Figure 4 Key dimensions related to radius 3.3 Speed relationships Fundamental rules of circular motion determine the relationship between radius and speed around a curve. For railway specific applications the following formula applies: vmax= (amax Rc) (1) where Rcis t
44、he local centreline radius of the curve in metre; amaxis the maximum lateral acceleration in m/s2; vmaxis the maximum local velocity in m/s. Alternatively with Vmaxin km/h: Vmax= 3,6 (amaxRc) (2) Often it is convenient to express maximum speed in terms of more physical measures, using the variables
45、cant deficiency and wheel contact gauge. Firstly, wheel contact gauge is expressed conventionally as: sw= st+ sr(3) where swis the wheel contact gauge, or distance between the two upper wheel/rail contacts, in millimetre; stis the track gauge in millimetre; BS EN 13232-2:2003+A1:2011EN 13232-2:2003+

The speed relationship is then given by: Vmax= 3,6 (hd g Rc/ sw) (4) where hdis the maximum permitted cant deficiency in millimetre; g is the acceleration due
47、 to gravity, normally taken as 9,81 m/s2. 3.4 Effects of changes in curvature 3.4.1 Introduction Most real situations yield a step change in curvature, since a smooth curvature change only occurs in transition curves. The effects of step changes are mitigated by the vehicles suspension system, but a
48、n approximate rule is necessary to enable the switch and crossing supplier to match the vehicles requirements. In the following the rules for steady transitions are covered first, then the rules for step changes in curvature. See Figure 5 for examples of alternative arrangements of transitions withi
49、n turnouts.

Alternatively it may be termed a rate of change of cant deficiency. This is related to a rate of change of lateral acceleratio
