[For the English abstract and full text of the article please see the attached PDF-File (English version follows Russian version)].ABSTRACT The article assesses the possibility of using a ballastless (or slab) track design (BTD) in implementation of large transport facilities in the city. BTD is the only alternative to a traditional track on ballast. Such an option has a number of advantages, but at the same time, certain shortcomings that restrain its mass application today. Based on foreign experience and comparison of two designs (track on ballast and BTD), taking into account costs for repair and current maintenance, the authors offer their understanding of economic arguments and benefits derived from operation of the ballastless track. Keywords: railway transport, track superstructure, ballastless structure, high-speed traffic, costs, payback, economic effect.

Authors: Krasikov N. Y.
Published: October 2022

[For the English abstract and full text of the article please see the attached PDF-File (English version follows Russian version)].ABSTRACT In railway sector there are many dangerous destabilizing factors. One of the most common problems is collision of a train with a vehicle which is stuck on or entered out of driver’s negligence into a railway crossing. In the article methods of minimization of losses from this type of accidents are considered. They comprise construction of tunnels and overpasses at the intersections of the railway and the road, use of a 3D-laser radar to warn the locomotive crew about the stuck transport. In addition, it is possible to use web cameras, the image from which, using a router installed within 4-5 km far from the crossing, is transferred to the train driver’s cab on a separate display in advance to see the stuck vehicle and to have time to take emergency braking measures. Keywords: lean manufacturing, safety factors, railway crossing, emergency situation, visual perception, 3D-laser radar, web camera.
