LAYOUT AND MAINTENANCE OF RAILWAY TRACKS

TRASSIEREN UND ERHALTEN VON EISENBAHNGLEISEN

After a brief review of the development of layout techniques, the author describes the difference between the reactions measured on vehicles and results from the mathematical model used as a basis for the layout. From the random association of factors affecting the quality of the track, he determines the difference between regular and limit values for defining the layout. Defective areas recorded during acceleration measurements with a testing vehicle are mostly connected with forced critical points. The author concludes by deducing rules for the construction of new tracks from the results and measurements.
