3、 the UK implementation of EN 15179. EN 15179 has been drafted to support the rolling stock technical specification for interoperability (TSI) for passenger coaches and carriages. The scope of EN 15179 is limited to coaches and carriages interchanged under the RIC (Regolamento Internazionale Carrozze
4、 an agreement governing the exchange and use of coaches in international traffic) arrangements, and as such is not warranted to be compatible with coaches used solely in the UK. The UK has not used the UIC air brake as the basis for the brake system design and there are a significant number of refer

EN 15179:2007 (E) 5 Introduction Currently, in the standard gauge area, there are EU regulations in the form of interoperability dire
25、ctives and the associated TSI that also contain specifications for the braking of railway vehicles. Before this time, brake engineering regulations only existed as internal railway documents in the form of UIC leaflets. Agreements based on these govern the conditions for vehicle transfers between th
26、e individual railways. The relationship between the infrastructures and the minimum brake engineering requirements on trains and their individual vehicles is defined in EN 14198.This covers mainly generic vehicle regulations that should be assigned to individual vehicles by corresponding specificati
27、ons. With this European Standard, all suppliers will in future be able to offer in a Europe-wide tender invitation passenger coaches that have a defined basic brake engineering system and meet the minimum brake engineering requirements, taking into account the vehicle types EN 15179:2007 (E) 6 1 Sco
28、pe This European Standard defines basic requirements for the braking of passenger coaches in trains hauled by locomotives as described in EN 14198, using UIC air brakes (RIC traffic) operating on routes of the European railways and their infrastructure systems. Normative Annex E is provided for pass
29、enger coaches limited to internal use in the UK. This European Standard covers: all new vehicle designs of the passenger coach type of construction (day coaches, restaurant cars, sleeper coaches, driving trailers, baggage cars, couchette coaches); all new constructions of existing vehicle types; oth
30、er vehicles (e.g. motorail vehicles) that may also be included in passenger trains; all major overhauls of the above-mentioned vehicles if they involve redesigning or extensive alteration to the brake system1 of the vehicle concerned. The vehicles meet the following technical criteria: inclusion in
31、trains in accordance with EN 14198 in regular railway operation is possible (coupling capacity); the maximum speed is between 100 km/h and 200 km/h; the lower vehicle limitations of prEN 15273-1, prEN 15273-2, prEN 15273-3 are adhered to. 2 Normative references The following referenced documents are

43、ment, the terms and definitions given in EN 14198:2004, EN 14478:2005 and the following apply. 3.1 passenger coach vehicle without its own traction unit, for conveying people and comprising a body; running gear (e.g. 2 bogies); specific connectors at coach ends (coupling capacity); brake installatio
44、n; service installations for passengers (air conditioning, catering, luggage transport etc.); a driving cab if the vehicle is a driving trailer. Passenger coaches may also comprise two or more bodies with associated running gear (modules) forming a functional unit. The connectors (connections) betwe
45、en the modules may be individually designed. The end connectors of the functional unit should be suitable for the interchange conditions. Coaches for which special traction units are mandatory (ICE, TGV) are not considered to be passenger coaches 3.2 automatic train brake brake at train level, the a
