Scope
GB/T 5599-2019 is the English-translated version of 机车车辆动力学性能评定及试验鉴定规范.
China's national specification for assessing and verifying the dynamic performance of rolling stock on the line. Dynamic performance is what determines whether a vehicle is safe and comfortable at speed, and it cannot be established anywhere but on real track: the vehicle's suspension, its wheel profiles and the track's geometry form one system, and the behaviours that matter - hunting instability, derailment quotient at curves, wheel unloading over twist, and the ride quality the passenger feels - emerge from that interaction rather than from the vehicle alone. China's fleet runs from 120 km/h freight to 350 km/h high speed on the same standard gauge, which is why a single assessment framework matters. The standard specifies the test method and the assessment indices for dynamic performance testing and verification of standard gauge rolling stock, may be referenced for urban rail vehicles and industrial and mining electric and diesel locomotives, and does not apply to railway machinery such as special vehicles, construction machinery or track maintenance machines.

China's national specification for assessing and verifying the dynamic performance of rolling stock on the line. Dynamic performance is what determines whether a vehicle is safe and comfortable at speed, and it cannot be established anywhere but on real track: the vehicle's suspension, its wheel profiles and the track's geometry form one system, and the behaviours that matter - hunting instability, derailment quotient at curves, wheel unloading over twist, and the ride quality the passenger feels - emerge from that interaction rather than from the vehicle alone. China's fleet runs from 120 km/h freight to 350 km/h high speed on the same standard gauge, which is why a single assessment framework matters. The standard specifies the test method and the assessment indices for dynamic performance testing and verification of standard gauge rolling stock, may be referenced for urban rail vehicles and industrial and mining electric and diesel locomotives, and does not apply to railway machinery such as special vehicles, construction machinery or track maintenance machines.
This standard specifies the method and assessment index, for the dynamic performance test and verification of standard gauge rolling stocks along the line. This standard applies to the dynamic performance assessment and test verification of standard gauge rolling stocks along the line. For the test verification of dynamic performance of urban rail vehicles, industrial and mining electric power, diesel locomotives, it may refer to this standard. This standard does not apply to test verification of the dynamic performance of railway machinery, such as the standard gauge railway special vehicles (long- large freight trains and rail vehicles with and without power), construction machinery (bridge erecting machines, track laying machines, track cranes, etc.), road maintenance machinery (screening machines, tamping machines, etc.).
