to choose fastening systems for ballastless track complying with this performance
criterion. The detail of such fastening system used shall be submitted to MoR and the
same shall be kept in observation by MoR for a period of 2 years under service
conditions in association of Metro Railways/MRTS system. The Performa for the
monitoring performance shall be advised by MoR to concerned Metros Railways/MRTS
system. After successful performance for 2 years, Metro Railways/MRTS system shall
process for approval of MoR for further use of fastening system.
1.3 The fastening system already approved by MOR as per previous performance criteria
for ballastless track dated 21.5.2010 will not require fresh clearance as per this revised
criteria and any of these systems can be used by Metro/ MRTS systems.

Driving Brake Pipe (BP)

Motor/TC
Brake Cylinder (BC)

Main Reservoir (MR)

Auxiliary Reservoir (AR)

DTC Brake Pipe (BP)

Brake Cylinder (BC)

Auxiliary Reservoir (AR)

Driving Brake Pipe (BP)

Motor/TC
Brake Cylinder (BC)

Auxiliary Reservoir (AR)

The pressure recordings are made with different positions of Driving Cab brake handle
order to evaluate various brake characteristics detailed in the test scheme. Before
commencement of the stationary test, the following checks / settings are made on the
train –

 The brake pipe pressure is at as specified.

 The brake cylinder pressure of the locomotive is set to specified value when brakes are
applied through drivers automatic brake handle
 The percentage operative cylinders during stationary test are kept 100%

INITIAL CHARGING OF MAIN RESERVOIR

Before start of the initial charging of main reservoir, the engine is shut down and the air
reservoirs are completely drained out by opening the drain cocks. Time taken to charge
the MR from zero to maximum pressure is noted with engine running at idle notch.

40
LEAKAGE RATE

After the pressure in MR and BP is stabilized at the maximum value, the lead /trial switch
is turned to lead ‘cut-out’ position, for putting the pressure maintaining feature of
automatic brake out of action to check the leakage in train line brake pipe. Continuous
record of MR, BP and FP is taken for 5 minutes to get the leakage rate.

BRAKE APPLICATION

The brake pipe is charged to stabilize for 2 minutes. Using the Master controller handle in
the driving Cab, brake is applied and continuous record of various parameters is done.
Brake application time for 95% of BC pressure build-up, from the instant of brake
application, is worked out to get the brake application time.

BRAKE RELEASE TIME

Release time is defined as the time interval between the driver puts his brake/Master
controller handle in release position to the instant the brake cylinder pressure reduces to
0.4 kg/cm².

BRAKE APPLICATION FROM LAST VEHICLE AND SIMULATED TRAIN PARTING

The test train is charged for brake pipe pressure of up to designed value and allowed to
stabilize for 2 minutes. Brake application is made from the Last Vehicle.. The train parting
simulation is done by opening the angle cock from first, middle and rear Vehicle of the
train and various parameters are recorded to get an idea of the extent of indication to the
driver.

RUNNING TESTS

device is mounted on one axle of the coach for measuring the distance travelled.

The speedometer fitted in the cab is used for guidance in regulating the train speed. The
actual speed at the instant of brake application is, however, determined from that
recorded by DAQ.

Suitable locations on level track, free from gradient and curve, are pre-selected.
Emergency /full service brake application is made, from driver’s automatic brake handle
from the driving cab, followed by emergency brake application.

Data is acquired by using a Digital data acquisition system, connected to the
transducers provided on the prototype vehicle as given in para 2. Sampling rate used is
20 samples. The following parameters are recorded/calculated for evaluation:

STATIONARY TESTS as per Annexure H

RUNNING TESTS
Following are to be determined -
 Braking distance on maximum gradient section on application of emergency brakes.
 Controlling of train with brake application and dynamic brakes within prescribed B.P.
drop.
 Wheel/Brake disc and Brake block / brake disc temperature.
 Dynamic current of the driving current.
 Holding of train with Independent driving cab brakes.

46
 CONDUCTING THE TEST
For measurement of braking distance, a Optical speed sensor/wheel revolution pick up
device is mounted on one axle of the vehicle for measuring the distance travelled.
The speedometer fitted in the cab is used for guidance in regulating the train speed. The
actual speed at the instant of brake application is, however, determined from that
recorded by DAQ.
Independent driving cab brakes are worked in conjunction with train brakes and Suitable
locations on maximum gradient track are pre-selected. The brake block and disc
temperatures are also recorded along with dynamic current in the driving cab. The wheel
temperature and BP pressure drop should be within prescribed limits for safe operation.
The Emergency / full service brake application is made, from driver’s automatic brake
handle from the driving cab, followed by emergency brake application in conjunction with
dynamic brake application. The EBD should be such that train running at maximum
permissible speed can be stopped short of signal after sighting the stop signal. On
stopping on the maximum gradient section, the holding test of the train with
independent driving cab brakes, with train brakes in released position, shall be carried
out. A number of such readings are taken, depending on the section length.
Before commencement of running test, the test train is examined and the following is
ensured -
 The pressure setting of the brake pipe of the driving unit is at specified value.
 All audible leaks are arrested.

4. Facilities to be made available by Metro:

The Metro shall make the following facility available for conducting of trial:

i. Competent Crew for operating the Test Special.

ii. Prototype test rake, made suitably fit for trial, for instrumentation and trial runs.
iii. 220V AC Power supply on board the test special.
iv. Fitment of Speed sensor/wheel pick-up device on the vehicle.
v. Simulation of wet rail conditions during trial.
vi. Tapping’s for fitment of pressure sensors in the brake system as required.
vii. Any other facility as required by the officer in charge of the trial for the conduct of
the trial.

NOTE: This test procedure is only for general guidance. Nomenclature of various sub-
assemblies may be different from those used in this document. Also there may be
minor differences in brake systems on different Metros.
