  "text": "In order to guarantee proper compatibility with other train operations, the mean minimum accelerations calculated over time on a level track shall be:\n0 to 40 km/h: 48 cm/s2\n0 to 120 km/h: 32 cm/s2\n0 to 160 km/h: 17 cm/s2\nAt the maximum service speed and on level track, the residual acceleration shall be at least 5 cm/s2.\nFor reasons of availability, traffic flow, and safe clearance of tunnels, three conditions shall be met by the trainsets:\nperformance shall be achieved with the mean supply voltage available at the pantograph as specified in energy TSI Section 4.3.1.1, Annex L,\na failed traction module shall not deprive the trainset of more than 25 % of its rated output,\nfailure of a traction supply element shall allow at least 50 % of the traction modules to continue in operation.\nUnder these conditions it shall be possible for a trainset under normal load (number of seats × 80 kg) with a traction module out-of-service to start on the maximum gradient it is likely to meet with a residual acceleration in the vicinity of 5 cm/s2. It shall be possible for this starting regime to be maintained for 10 minutes, and for the speed to reach 60 km/h.",
