Determination of Critical Speed of Railway Vehicles Using Measuring Technologies of Bench Tests

The paper is focused on the problem of increasing the reliability of determining the critical speed of railway vehicles during measurements in bench tests, due to the difference in the geometry of the contact interaction in the “wheel-roller” and “wheel-rail” systems. It is shown that existing approaches in dynamic sta...

Comparative analysis of methods for the investigation of brake wear particles emission of railway vehicles

The braking systems of railway vehicles are a key element for the safe and efficient operation of trains. Although according to official reports, the railway sector contributes less than 1% to total PM emissions in Europe, PM concentrations in enclosed spaces of underground railways are of great concern due to the conf...

BRAZE WELDING OF AUSTENITE-COPPER FOR RAIL TRANSPORT APPLICATIONS

Each locomotive repair operation requires the locomotive to be taken out of service for the duration of the repair. Meanwhile, another locomotive must be substituted while the original locomotive is out of service to maintain the scheduled services. When such an operation is not possible, there may be shifts in the...

The asset management of railways on soft soils

ProRail is the infrastructure manager of the Dutch railway network. ProRail manages approximately 3000 km of rail embankments, most of which were built before 1920. They were constructed at a time when there were no regulations or standards available and each train company had its own way of constructing railways. Thes...
