Dynamic Analysis of the Vehicle Running on Turnout at High Speed considering Longitudinal Variation of Rail Profiles

Abstract

Recently, Railway Systems are getting increased worldwide attention in order to reduce environmental pollution and traffic jam. The railway systems are Light Rail Transits in city or high speed railways between cities. Up to now, dynamic behavior of the vehicle running on a turnout at high speed was NOT researched. Dynamic behaivior of the vehicle running on turnout at high speed was calculated in this research. The developed simulation considered the longitudinal variation of crosssection of rail head with vehicle running on turnout which has Tongue Rail and Crossing Rail. This paper shows the results of dynamic simulation of the vehicle running on a turnout at high speed.
