The flange climb derailment is one of the cause of derailment for a typical switch. The derailment for the switch is a complex phenomenon since the contact area is changing dynamically. The contact angle between the wheel flange and the switch point is investegated in terms of the risk on the derailment. The contribution of this study is proving that UIC716R standard recommendation about the sw...

used for the solution with more complicated body shapes. An expression is derived for the height cleared, above an original supporting ground plane, in terms of the parameters that describe the body and its initial conditions. The maximization of this transcendental expression, subject to certain equality and inequality constraints on the variables, which arise naturally in the problem formulat...
