Modeling the Track Geometry Variability
نویسندگان
چکیده
At its building, the theoretical new railway line is supposed to be made of perfect straight lines and curves. This track geometry is however gradually damaged and regularly subjected to maintenance operations. The analysis of these track irregularities is a key issue as the dynamic behaviour of the trains is mainly induced by the track geometry. In this context, this work is devoted to the development of a stochastic modeling of the track geometry and its identification with experimental measurements. Based on a spatial and statistical decomposition, this model allows the spatial and statistical variability and dependency of the track geometry to be taken into account. Moreover, it allows the generation of realistic track geometries that are representative of a whole railway network. These tracks can be used in any deterministic railway dynamic software to characterize the dynamic behavior of the train.

Track Irregularities Stochastic Modeling
High speed trains are currently meant to run faster and to carry heavier loads, while being less energy consuming and still respecting the security and comfort certification criteria. To face these challenges, a better understanding of the interaction between the dynamic train behavior and the track geometry is needed. As during its lifecycle, the train faces a great variability of track condit...

متن کاملQuantification of the influence of the track geometry variability on the train dynamics
In a context of increasing interoperability, several high speed trains, such as ICE, TGV, ETR 500, are likely to run on the same tracks, whereas they have been originally designed for specific and different railway networks. Due to different mechanical properties and structures, the dynamic behaviors, the aggressiveness of the vehicle on the track and the probabilities of exceeding security and...
