Abstract. The article is devoted to the dynamics of smooth running of high-speed trains and the level of comfort of passengers. This problem is poorly understood and requires further research. The author draws attention to the need to improve the unified standards of dynamic interaction between the track and the rolling stock, allowing to assess the level of acceleration of the car body and ensure smooth running. Analysis of the results of studies of indicators of smoothness of the course, obtained by a portable accelerometer when traveling in high-speed trains, allowed to identify sections of the path with the deterioration of comfort of passengers. The positive impact of the implementation of the liner works on track and switches, as well as grinding the rails in terms of ride and comfort level of passengers.

Abstract. Operating experience of BAM and AYAM, Zabaikalsky railway showed that permafrost soils and in areas with underground ice after prolonged exploitation of underground constructions going on uneven melting ice, resulting in the observed significant rainfall is uneven grounds, leading to changes in geomorphological and hydrogeological conditions. In the future such areas require a thorough examination and individual approach when designing their activities. This article describes two new patented design-technological decisions sponsors used on real sites and projects, BAM and AYAM: retaining embankment variable section and two-stage drainage system.

Identification of defects of a railway track with the help of the BDC device

Keywords: axle control device, railway damage, identification of the defect on railway tracks.

Abstract. The article describes a method of identification of two types of railway track defects: deformation of the ballast prism and the main platform of the roadbed and painting and delamination of metal on the surface of the rail head rolling with the help of data obtained from the axle control device.

Determination of the parameters of the force interaction of the track and rolling stock, depending on the superelevation of exterior rail and the unbalanced acceleration

Keywords: superelevation of exterior rail in curved tracks, mass calculations of the impact of the rolling stock on the track in curved tracks of different radius with different superelevation of exterior rail.

Abstract. The object of research is the optimization of the superelevation of exterior rail in curved tracks. The article presents the results of experimental researches and mass calculations of the impact of vehicles operating in the analyzed areas on the track. Compared the results of calculations carried out using the models of Railway Vehicle and Track Interaction Testing Center LLC and Hexa LLC. On the basis of the calculations made, the parameters of the force effect of the entire range of rolling stock on the track can be formed, which will be used when choosing the size of the superelevation of exterior rail that is optimal in terms of the life-cycle cost of the structure.

Abstract. A great quantity of metal girders, operated on the Russian rail network, is designed according to old design standards. The service life of such structures approaches to the normative, and in some cases exceeds it. The heavy rolling stock raises the questions of railway trains passing possibility and timing of replacing riveted girders. The solution of such issues should be justified and should be based on the results of qualified surveys of bridges. Ignoring these works or performing them at a low professional level leads to irrational decisions on the further operation of the riveted girders. Usually riveted girders have sufficient load bearing capacity to pass heavy loads and proved to be reliable over a long period of operation. The replacement of riveted structures to welded girders can adversely affect the life cycle and the cost of the metal bridges operating.

Abstract. The article discusses and defines the concepts of the life cycle model, the life cycle cost, the service life of the object, the relationship of reliability and the cost of the life cycle. The methodology and algorithms for calculating the cost of cost elements are presented: track rehabilitation, intermediate repairs, current track content, taking into account the consumption of materials, elimination of path failures and utilization of path design elements at the end of the life cycle. Calculations and analysis of the results of calculating the cost of the life cycle of the track structure under specific operating conditions have been made.
