Abstract: The paper presents the application possibilities of the new method of determining the curvature of the axis of the railway track, called “the method of the moving chord.” Based on the estimation of the existing curvature, ...

Abstract: The paper focused on the issue of curving railroad turnouts in order to use them to connect parallel tracks located in a circular curve on a double-track line. An analytical method of recording was applied, which gave ...

Abstract: This paper focuses on shaping the variable curvature in the diverging track of a railway turnout. Based on some earlier studies, solutions provided with a circular arc in the midzone and extreme regions with segments of ...

Abstract: This paper presents a method of designing railway sections located in horizontal arcs. The adopted procedure is universal, i.e., it creates the possibility of varying both the type and the length of the assumed transition ...

Abstract: This paper discusses the possibility of replacing the commonly used clothoid transition curve on a railroad route with a new transition curve adapted to railway operational requirements. The new transition curve is similar ...
