Abstract: The paper provides an overview of the most important technical requirements for railway infrastructure as regulated by the standards proposed by the European Union. More precisely, the paper gives an insight into the following Trans-European Transport Network (TEN-T) requirements: track gauge, axle load, train length, electrification and speed. In addition, each parameter is illustrated by a practical case where appropriate.

Keywords: Trans-European Transport Network; track gauge; axle load; train length; electrification; speed; Transeuropäisches Verkehrsnetz; Spurweite; Achslast; Zuglänge; Elektrifizierung; Geschwindigkeit (search for similar items in EconPapers)
