INTERACTION BETWEEN VEHICLES AND TRACK, GEOMETRY OF THE CONTACT BETWEEN WHEELSET AND TRACK. PART 2: EQUIVALENT CONICITY VALUES FOR WHEELSETS IN SERVICE

Measurements have been taken of wheel and rail cross- sectional profiles on SNCF, NS, DB and BR using the BR measuring apparatus. The values of the profile co-ordinates were used to calculate the rolling radius difference graphs and linearised equivalent conicities; these first results are presented and discussed.
