Identification of Changes in Irreguralities for a Modernized Railway Track

Julian Kominowski, Bogdan Sowiński

Abstract


This article describes the analysis of measurements of track irregularities for a selected section of a modernized railway track. The paper presents changes of selected irregularities resulting from the traffic load levels on the track section. The authors focused on analysing results of track geometry measurements and analysing waves of track lateral and vertical irregularities. Measurements of track irregularities were performed at the same track section by indirect and direct methods.
