Abstract

This paper discusses the application of methods for analysis of size combinations of wheelsets and turnout elements to estimate the flangeway gap. Method of limit combinations. On the one hand, this method does not guarantee safe operation of a frog crossing, while, on the other hand, it sets unreasonably stringent requirements for the structure of the crossing. Method of probable compositions was proposed in order to eliminate contradictions of the method of limit combinations. The method of probable compositions is advantageous since, in addition to solving the issue of safe permissible dimensions of a gauge track and flangeway gap, this method makes it possible to define repeatability of impact on check rails in the most loaded sections, and repeatability of wheel trajectory on frog. These parameters can be used to estimate the wear-life and to design turnout elements. Method of conditional probabilities allows calculating probabilities for exact size combinations of gauge tracks and flangeway gaps. Method of conditional probabilities appears to be the most precise when defining permissible dimensions for gauge tracks and flangeways of turnouts. This method is used to set standard for maintenance of check rails. The results are added to the service instruction for the railway tracks of Russia. According to the criterion of «impact effect», the limit wear for the tangent part of special steel profile check rails should be 13 mm for the turnouts of 1/11 series and 11 mm for the turnouts of 1/9 series.
