Abstract

The reliability of wooden sleepers is one of the problematic issues of track facilities, especially against the background of an increase in the share of seamless railway track on reinforced concrete sleepers. An integrated approach makes it possible to evaluate the factors affecting the reliability of the operation of wooden sleepers as a system of indicators for ensuring the safety of train traffic, as well as to identify problems for further study of the operation of a wooden sleeper as an element that directly affects the geometric position of the rail gauge.

The methods of integrated assessment are the study of information on the state of the sleeper facilities, the analysis of existing problems and the search for methods for solving these problems, the analysis of regulatory and technical requirements for the maintenance of the railway track, the study of the influence of the track design on the reliability of its operation, taking into account the stresses caused by the rolling stock. composition, identification of factors affecting the reliability of operation of the track with wooden sleepers.

An integrated approach made it possible to identify the most influencing factors on the technical condition of the rail gauge and determine the search for areas that would improve the reliability of the rail gauge, draw conclusions on the forecasting and prospects for the use of wooden sleepers, and also propose a plan for further research of the technical condition of the rail gauge to ensure its reliable geometry.
