The analysis presented in the paper explains computational issues related to the use of a new method of determining the curvature of the track axis – the so-called moving chord method. It indicates the versatility of this method – it may be used both in a horizontal and vertical...

Widening the intertrack space is one of the basic elements of shaping the geometric layout of the railway track. It significantly influences the obtained speed of trains. The solutions applied so far do not provide favorable kinematic conditions due to the occurring distribution...

In the paper, in view of a railway ballasted track, a new concept of transition curve of linear form of curvature along its length and smoothed extreme regions is presented. For this purpose use has been made of an original, universal method for identifying transition curves by m...
