(TWS) to warn people during their work on or near the track about the approaching of trains and rail vehicles using acoustic and optical TWS-Signals These requirements have to be applied for LOWS, ATWS SCWS and combined systems and for single warning units/warning devices concerning the signal Wa1, Wa2, Wa3 A.2 Sound criteria for acoustic TWS-Signals The TWS-Signals are defined by the following sound criteria: — The TWS-Signal comprises of two different alternating signal-sequences S1 and S2 with a duration of 250 ms each and the basic frequency of fG = 436 Hz ± Hz for S1 und fG = 660 Hz ± 10 Hz for S2 — The signal-sequences shall have a high harmonic content The high harmonic content codetermines the audio impression and is intended to guarantee the audibility of the warning signal even in case of masking noise — All harmonic up to kHz should be part of both signal-sequences — The spectral maximum of the energy shall be the frequency-range between kHz and 1,6 kHz — The level of the basic frequency of fG = 660 Hz shall not be less than 15 dB below the first harmonic — The level of the basic frequency of fG = 436 Hz shall not be less than 25 dB below the first harmonic — The overall level of both signal-sequences S1 and S2 including all relevant harmonics shall differ not more than dB(A) NOTE Details concerning measuring specification (maximum sound pressure level, stability of sound pressure level, directional characteristic, measuring condition) will be fixed later NOTE The necessary harmonic content can be achieved by creating rectangular signals The signal-sequences can be achieved by stringing together three rectangular signals with a duration of T1, T2 and T3 and repeating them to a duration of 250 ms NOTE For sequence S1 and S2 the following values for T1, T2 and T3 are possible: — S1: T1 = 1,043 ms, T2 = 0,771 ms and T3 = 0,499 ms; — S2: T1 = 0,771 ms, T2 = 0,363 ms and T3 = 0,363 ms This signal has to be modified due to the characteristics of the warning devices, if necessary 26 BS EN 16704-2-1:2016 EN 16704-2-1:2016 (E) A.3 Time criteria for acoustic TWS-Signals The TWS-Signals are defined by the following time criteria The duration of TWS-Signal is: — Wa 1: s warning signal W; — Wa 2: s W + s Pause P + s W; — Wa 3: s W + 0,5 s P + s W + 0,5 s P + s W + 0,5 s P +… (minimum duration s) Infrastructure manager can define which warning signals shall be used on their network Figure A.1 — Temporal structure of the warning signals 27 BS EN 16704-2-1:2016 EN 16704-2-1:2016 (E) Annex B (normative) Specification of optical TWS signals B.1 General The optical TWS-Signal shall start when a train or rail vehicle or a malfunction is detected It shall end when in the warning area there is no train or rail vehicle or the malfunction is over Optical TWS-Signals shall use light pulses with a frequency of Hz to Hz or the equivalent for rotating or flashing lights For detailed information concerning optical signals, see EN 842 NOTE The perceptibility of optical TWS-Signals depends on the effective luminance of the lamps, which can be given by the manufacturer as value for energy (Ws) or light intensity (cd) NOTE 28 The colour of the lamp cover has an effect on the effective luminance BS EN 16704-2-1:2016 EN 16704-2-1:2016 (E) Bibliography [1] [2] [3] [4] [5] EN 14067-4, Railway applications - Aerodynamics -
