Bibliography

Describes warning horn requirements which deliver the required audibility of approaching trains, including high speed and conventional rail and excluding road, metro and self-contained systems.

This European standard defines warning horn requirements which deliver the required audibility of approaching 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 integration of warning horns into the vehicle, and
