What is PD CEN/TR 15654 ‑ 3 about?
PD CEN/TR 15654 is a series of standards on railway applications that provides approval and verification procedures on track measurement for rail vehicles helping users to achieve metrologically traceable and reproducible measurement results.
PD CEN/TR 15654 ‑ 3 is the third part of the PD CEN/TR 15654 series of documents that provides technical requirements and the metrological characteristics of a system for measuring and evaluating a range of vehicle loading parameters during operation in service.
The goal is to obtain the comparability and reproducibility of measurement results under different boundary conditions. To minimize the number of tests, the approval and verification procedures are divided into:
Type approval
Initial verification
In-service verification.
The accuracy class of a measurement system depends on the measurement device, vehicle, and track characteristics. Test procedures covering these influences are described to ensure reproducibility in all networks.
NOTE: The procedures described in PD CEN/TR 15654 ‑ 3 do not impose any restrictions on the design of measurement sites, on the types of vehicles that can be monitored, or on which networks or lines the measuring system can be installed.
