Abstract
Objective: To improve the integrity of running and dynamic testing results of force impact on the track, on the basis of modern facilities of data logging and wireless transmission from rotary elements of a car, as well as the change from indirect to direct methods of measurement. Methods: Comparative running and dynamic tests of the impact on the track were held simultaneously on the same section of the track, using three methods of logging vertical and side forces, that is Schlumpf (State Standard R 55050-2012), “RZhD-2016” and “NVTs-TKP” methods. The key difference of the third method was the application of strain-gauge set of wheels (TKP), making it possible to keep a continuous record of forces acting in the “wheel-rail” system throughout the track, whereas other methods allowed for the realization of the above mentioned only on districts with a limited amount of sections. Results: According to the results of comparative testing, a conclusion was made on the improvement of integrity and justification of the method of “NVTs-TKP” with an application of strain-gauge set of wheels. Practical importance: It was suggested to apply “NVTs-TKP” method to implementing organizations of running and dynamic tests when evaluating the load of an innovative rolling stock on the track.
