Abstract:Purpose. To evaluate the existing method of determining the relative wear of the rail in modern operating conditions of the railway track and to improve it. Methodology. An analysis of the existing method of determining the relative wear of rails was carried out to achieve the goal. 30 pieces of cross-sections of worn rails were processed. They were compared with the profile of the new rail. The actual wear area is determined digitally. Due to the measured values of vertical and lateral wear, calculations, cor… Show more
