Original Abstract

The monitoring of the train operation load was arranged in the railway station Vranovice along with measuring of the new type of turnout for high-speed tracks. The aim of paper is a description of the measuring and the results evaluation. The railway station Vranovice was chosen as a station on the first Czech railway corridor between Brno - Wien. Tensors were installed on rail foots. Train passages were recorded in the measure and memory unit. The obtain records were evaluated by special software. The values of wheel loads were computed for every recorded axle. The important experience was obtained from measuring and evaluation, especially with electromagnetic fields caused by train control system. Histograms were calculated for evaluated axle loads. Extreme impacts caused by imperfection on wheel running surfaces were assessed individually. Then the day, week and month summary was compiled. Summaries of axle loads were statistically evaluated. The overview of a typical axle load distribution in Czech corridor track was obtained.
