A STUDY OF TRACK MAINTENANCE FOR THE DERAILMENT DUE TO THE INTERACTION BETWEEN TRACK AND VEHICLES

M Ikemori

Abstract

Causes and prevention of freight car due to the interaction between track and vehicle have been investigated since 1964 by JNR. The role of track maintenance has been studied. The wave lengths of irregularities and the combination of alignment and cross-level have a large influence on the running safety of two-axle cars and it is necessary to check and adjust the composite figure of alignment and cross-level to prevent derailments.
