Abstract
Analysis of the Exhaust Emissions of Toxic Compounds from a Special Purpose Rail Machine PŁT-500 During Profiling the Ballast Cess
Highlights
The technical condition of the railway infrastructure and the rolling stock is of great significance for the effective functioning of the railway system and is important for maintaining safety and reducing the risks of unwanted events occurring
In order to improve the quality of rail vehicles in operation, more advanced systems for the subassemblies condition assessment, including wheels [1], axles, [2, 3] and bearings [4], are being developed, which are designed with the ability to detect the elements reaching the limit values of their expected operating condition
The exhaust emission test results cover eight types of activities performed by the tested ballast profiler
Summary
The technical condition of the railway infrastructure and the rolling stock is of great significance for the effective functioning of the railway system and is important for maintaining safety and reducing the risks of unwanted events occurring. The technical condition of the railway track is divided into four categories, i.e.: good (requiring only maintenance, no restrictions in use), satisfactory (requiring replacement of pavement elements up to 30%, minor limitations in use), unsatisfactory (the need for comprehensive replacement, significant restrictions) and bad (suspension of rail traffic). The total length of tracks on which the speed limit was lowered has decreased. In 2019, the speed limit was lowered for 367 kilometers of track length, while for 1,249 kilometers it was increased (Figure 2) [8]. This means that, as a result, the technical condition of the rail lines improved in the case of 882 kilometers of track
