Dynamic Weighing to Improve Rail Freight Traffic Safety: A Case Study from the Czech Republic
Railway traffic safety is a decisive factor involved in any decision-making process in the railway transport, including the overall weight of cars, i.e., potential overloading. Overloaded rolling stock may cause many serious accidents. The presented article comprises two parts: the theoretical one explores the ways of progressive dynamic weighing of shipment. The practical part took place at Horní Dvorište railway station, measuring the impact of the dynamic weighing on the decline in vehicular overloading.
