Vienna Meidling is a busy interchange with trains passing at up to 160 km/h. Previously, no physical barriers existed.
Integrates platform barriers directly with train signaling to speed up boarding times and support higher train entry speeds.
The standard covers various aspects of PPE products, including:
EN 17168 specifies a comprehensive set of requirements for positioned at the edge of a station platform immediately adjacent to rail or other guided vehicles. The standard’s scope includes:
EN 17168 sets out stringent requirements regarding performance, safety, and operational reliability. Design and Construction en 17168
Once you confirm the exact topic or full title of EN 17168, I will gladly write a for you, including:
: References EN 16584-1 to ensure high visual contrast and usability for persons with reduced mobility (PRM). Target Audience for Implementation
The standard sets quantifiable benchmarks for speed, reliability, and fault tolerance to ensure consistent operation under high passenger loads.
: Applies to sub-surface, enclosed surface, and open-air stations. Vienna Meidling is a busy interchange with trains
: Secure access gates restricted to maintenance crews working at the far ends of the platform. Systems Integration, Signalling, and Safety
: Applies to sub-surface, enclosed, and open-air stations. Key Requirements of EN 17168
Must reference this standard in procurement tenders when specifying retrofit layouts or new-build lines.
