DB Systemtechnik GmbH | Peter Deeg | Aerodynamics and HVAC
Infrastructure
I Train induced pressure waves in tunnels, pressure
loads on tunnel infrastructure, design of tunnels
I Aerodynamic loads generated by trains in open air
I Aerodynamic loads near the track or in the track bed
I Aerodynamic loads at the platform and canopies
I Aerodynamic load requirements on infrastructure
components (e.g. track slab, balises, noise barriers,
safety barriers for track side workers, electrical
cabinets, tunnel installations etc.)
I Mixed passenger and freight traffic on high speed
lines, crossing trains, distance between tracks
I Wind maps and probabilities of strong wind events
I Wind exposure of railway lines and safety of
railway operation at strong winds
I Micro-pressure waves (sonic boom) und design of
infrastructural countermeasures
Special topics
I Piston effect (air flush), smoke and pollutant
propagation in underground stations or tunnels
I Aerodynamic requirements on luggage trolleys
Men and Environment
I Slipstream effects on passengers
at the platform
I Slipstream effects on trackside workers
I Pressure comfort during tunnel journey
and medical criteria
