Abstract
The paper identifies possible ways of fastening military vehicles on rail freight wagons using textile fastening straps and then compares particular methods. The comparison includes, besides used methods—diagonal lashing and V-shape diagonal lashing, the previously used method of lashing—slope lashing, which is currently not allowed to use. To calculate the inertia forces affecting the cargo, respectively the fastening straps, appropriate methods in accordance with EN 12195–1 have been chosen. In the discussion part, recommendations in relation to the fastening of military vehicles on rail freight wagons are introduced.
Highlights
Railway transport represents an important mode of transport for the Army of the Czech Republic
The provision [5] specifies the angle, which should be used to fasten the fastening strap with the imaginary surface of the ground military vehicle, to be 30°. (Figure 2.) In real conditions, it is possible to choose any anchor point on the railway freight wagon, which has its angle as close as possible to the required 30°
The key factor in the fastening of required ground military vehicle is the correct choice of a railway freight wagon, which matches that military vehicle in its length, load capacity and positions of the anchor points
Summary
Railway transport represents an important mode of transport for the Army of the Czech Republic. [1] In case of military transfers and transports, the ground military vehicles must be fastened taking into consideration the assumed size of the inertia forces. It is necessary to choose the method of fastening taking into account the type and weight of the ground military vehicles and the type of railway freight wagon. Which can cause damage to the fastening material, cargo (ground military vehicles) or railway freight wagon. Ground military vehicles in this case, is being proceeded in accordance with the provision Allied Movement Publication STANAG 2468 CSS (Edition 2): Technical Aspects of the Transport of Military Materials by Railroad AMOVP–4(A), [2] eventually Loading guidelines UIC – International Railway Union, [3] Volume 2 – Goods, eventually with Guideline of CDC for provisioning of military rail transport to the code D33. The provision [5] specifies the angle, which should be used to fasten the fastening strap with the imaginary surface of the ground military vehicle, to be 30°. (Figure 2.) In real conditions, it is possible to choose any anchor point on the railway freight wagon, which has its angle as close as possible to the required 30°
