Abstract. Strategy of development of holding «Russian Railways» provides for further increases as axle load and length of trains. The increase in axial loads inevitably causes an increase in mechanical stresses in the contact zone of the wheel and rail, as well as all elements of the sub-rail base. When the crew moves, the position of the wheel pair in relation to the rails changes significantly, resulting in various combinations of the wheel and rail contact zones. Even with a constant axial load, the normal stresses will vary due to the difference in the curvature radii of the contacting surfaces of these zones. Under real conditions, quantitative evaluation of interaction parameters can be performed only with the use of numerical simulation methods. To solve this problem, a three-dimensional finite element model was developed, modeled with full geometric similarity to full-scale structures, with a capacity of more than 300 thousand nodes. The calculations show that the increase in the axial load from 6 to 30 t (5 times) leads to an increase in contact stresses of 1,5—1,8 times. Changing the contact zone on the running surface of the rail with a radius of 500 mm causes changes in contact stresses within 3 %. The displacement of the contact zone of the wheel of the relative average skating circle of more than 30 mm leads to an increase in the contact stresses of more than 2 times at the same axial loads. Typically, this is observed in «high curves» (small radius curves) along the inner track rail. Especially a significant increase in contact stresses occurs at the contact of the wheels with a transition zone of the profile of conicity 1/10 to 1/3,5, where the level of contact stresses increases more than 4 times. This leads to significant vertical wear and the appearance of a «groove» in the middle part of the rail head; deformation of metal and the widening of the rail head; reduced quality of flaw detection (or even becomes impossible) due to the separation and destruction of the surface of the rail rolling.

Abstract. The results of the experimental verification of the proposed track alignment technology based on the use of the VPM 770 hopper metering unit are presented, and the possibility of its automation is evaluated by creating an automated process control system using the preventive track alignment. The experiment was conducted at the ground of the railway of the Volga Region on the site of the odd-numbered route at the direction Kochetovka—Saratov from 848 km to 852 km during the gap on May 18th, 2018. The preliminary measuring trip was carried out with the calculation of the alignment, record of subsidence of the track rails of the aligned section of the track and calculation of the required volume of crushed stone for lifting the track, after which the machine VPR-02M conducted the alignment. Subsequently, an analysis of the indications of the track-recording car was made particularly concerning the identified deviations in the geometry of the rail track before the alignment and after, based on the results of which the reduction in deviations in the geometry of the rail track was revealed. Besides, the economic effect during the introduction of the automated alignment process was asserted.

Abstract. The temperature of the rail should be constantly monitored to ensure a safe operation of the continuous welded path. Therefore, it is very important to evaluate the dynamics of changes in these temperatures, both by day of the year and by time of day, and also to have an opportunity to forecast these temperatures at certain time intervals. In our case, the neural network should be able to calculate the temperature of the rails based on certain initial data. The described in the article neural network gives quite accurate for practical use results and allows us to forecast the level of temperature impact on rails.

Abstract. The resistance of crushed stone to shear sleepers largely affects the stability of the jointless path, since it is one of the main reactive forces opposing the active longitudinal force. In this regard, the study of linear resistance and the factors affecting it has been carried out for many years and is still an urgent task.

This article describes the influence of the sleeper mass on its resistance to shear in ballast. To address this issue, pilot studies have been carried out taking into account the dynamic effects of passing trains.

Abstract. Nowadays in the field of railway lines designing and construction it is forbidden by normative base to combine transition curves in plane and vertical curves in profile. But, the normative documentation of railways design and high-speed highway doesn’t allow combine transition curves in plan with vertical curves in profile. Computer simulations have shown that this requirement is unnecessary.
