As the Ringbahn has been out of order since 1980 and since its re-opening cannot be expected within short, there are no authentic data available with regards to tracks and restricted speeds. Therefore, data of the 'Deutsche Reichsbahn' which were prepared between 1930 and 1960, have been evaluated, for since then there have been no major constructional changes. The line profiles of both directions of traffic have been analyzed and recorded in tables. The most prominent gradients amount to 12.5 promille and have no influence to speak of on vehicle design and dynamics of vehicle movements. In particular cases the energy consumption will change (as compared with the first calculation for the level). Curvatures partly result in speed restrictions which, in accordance with the Railway Construction and Operating Regulations (EBO) Paragraph 40 (7) have been determined for both directions of traffic. When re-opening the system it is recommended to investigate whether higher speeds are possible by making the guidance of bends more even. Speed restrictions due to structure damages could not be included in the analysis. It can be expected that these will have been repaired by the time of the re-opening. (orig.)
