RT Journal Article SR Electronic A1 Fomin, Oleksij A1 Prokopenko, Pavlo T1 Assessment of the Quality Indicators of the Carriage Movement by Directly Measuring the Forces of Interaction between the Wheels and Rails JF Communications - Scientific Letters of the University of Zilina YR 2024 VO 26 IS 3 SP B155 OP B166 DO 10.26552/com.C.2024.030 UL https://komunikacie.uniza.sk/artkey/csl-202403-0009.php AB This work describes the features and methods of measuring the forces of interaction between the wheel pairs and rails by measuring wheel deformations at control points. The work also contains recommendations for direct measurements of the forces of interaction between the wheels and rails to determine the actual margin of stability of wheel pairs from derailment. The result of the work is general requirements for the system of direct measurement of the strength of interaction of the high-speed rolling stock wheel pairs with rails and scientifically based recommendations for direct measurement of the interaction forces of wheels and rails. The problems of interaction between the wheel pairs and rails do not significantly depend on the track width and are general in nature for different countries of the world.
