Abstract

When a vehicle passes through a turnout, it is necessary for the changes in lateral force to be minimized to ensure the safe running of the vehicle. Therefore, the analysis of the interaction between the vehicle and the turnout is crucial for estimating the lateral force and the derailment coefficient on the turnout. In this paper, the effect of the variation of section shape on the running safety of a vehicle was investigated by changing the shape of the point part and the crossing part. The tongue rail length of the point part and nose rail height of the crossing part of an F10/F12 turnout were changed, and the running safety of the vehicle was analyzed.
