The CROSS-T report defines aerodynamic pressure limits and design guidance for freight wagons operating alongside high-speed trains, especially in tunnels. It provides simulation-based pressure data, methods to transfer operational experience between tunnels, Excel tools for assessing mixed-traffic scenarios as well as recommendations for harmonized European standards to ensure safe and efficient mixed-traffic operations.

The following spreadsheets apply the pressure maximum and minimum data process described in section 3.2 Transference of operational experience from one tunnel to another. There are four spreadsheets depending on the reference train type (i.e. conventional or high speed) and train length (i.e. 200 m or 400 m). Each spreadsheet has two hidden sheets where the calculations are made. These can be unhidden if desired. The general methods of application are given in Annex B of the report.
