Train Speed on the Selected Line Section
Horák, Matouš ; Hoza, Miroslav (referee) ; Svoboda, Richard (advisor)
The bachelor's thesis is engaged in finfing out speed of trains in particular section of the railway track. The first part describes a direct method of measure „in situ“ and processing the data acquired this way. The second part describes the other way, namely modeling in programme OpenTrack, then follows comparison the results from this similation with real measured values.
Development of Long-pitch Corrugation in Curves of Small Radii
Valehrach, Jan ; Kohout,, Martin (referee) ; Lidmila,, Martin (referee) ; Plášek, Otto (advisor)
Throughout the operation, the rails are worn and deteriorate. With the increasing speed of rolling stock, along with higher track loads and especially in the vicinity of major traffic hubs with a higher frequency of trains, defects that did not occur to such an extent before or were not considered to be significant, are brought to the forefront of the concerns of track infrastructure managers. Even though these defects are not directly restrictive to traffic operation, they are, in any case, a source of noise and vibration. One of these defects on the railway track is the micro-geometry defect of the running surface of the railhead. In directional curves with radii of less than 600 m or 700 m, defects known as long-pitch corrugation occur on the inner rail. In curves with 300 m or smaller radii, these waves are so distinct that they are a significant source of noise and vibration. In particular, vibrations affect the track surroundings and the track itself, as they cause other defects in the track structure. This dissertation deals with long-pitch corrugation, focusing on the monitoring of wave generation and development over time. The verification of the possibility to track the development of slip waves over time is the basis for possible future models predicting the development of defects. Numerous measurements of geometric parameters of the track and microgeometry of the railheads, specifically slip waves, have been carried out in the framework of the problem. Using RMS and peak-to-peak methods, the rate of development of defects over time and the relationship with other track parameters were evaluated. Based on the obtained development curves, intervals for further maintenance interventions were estimated. A part of the thesis focuses on the deficiency or excess of cant concerning the development of long-pitch corrugation.
Speed Increasing for Track Section Křenovice - Nezamyslice
Bombera, Jan ; Kroupa, Jan (referee) ; Svoboda, Richard (advisor)
Bachelor´s thesis deals with the possibility of increasing the line speed at Křenovice – Nezamyslice track number 315A. Speed increasing is tested in two steps – with current track geometry parameters and with changing some of the track geometry parameters, but always in order to meet regulatory and normative limit values. The new speed is determined for conventional vehicles and for vehicles that are able to take advantage of cant deficiency I > 100 mm. Speed limits in locations of railway crossings, signals position, etc., are taken into account for speed increasing. In some cases are proposed measures to change these objects.
Requirements for design and in servce quality of track geometry in relation to interatcion between vehicle and track
Trejtnar, Radek ; Ižvolt,, Libor (referee) ; Igielski, Vladimír (referee) ; Zvěřina, Pavel (referee) ; Plášek, Otto (advisor)
Aim of the proper track design is build track, which enable smooth run of the vehicle as much as is possible complying with the safety rules and reasonable level of comfort for passengers. However, this track has to be maintainable and the vehicle shouldn’t face unacceptable amount of wear. On the other hand it is clear that it is impossible to build ideal (straight) track because of many environmental and morphological conditions. So the rules for track designing have to be set carefully in order to produce a good track design which meets the conditions mentioned above. The principles for track designing are evaluated with using the results of track test running dynamic behavior of the vehicles in this study. These tests were made for couple vehicles on several track sections. The influence of design parameters on the dynamic behavior are evaluated based on these results. That’s defining one of the basic part interactions between vehicle and track. Evaluation of the quality of track geometry in service has the same or may be higher importance. Limit values as defined in standard ČSN 73 6360-2 was set partially in consideration results of scientific studies, but partially in consideration of as common practice. So that part of this work is verification of the influence of tolerance in each parameter and their combinations in order to allow reasonable establishment of their limit values for track maintenance and for preventing of train derailment.
