Abstract

A track structure with crashed stone composite designed at Faculty of Transport of Warsaw University of Technology is described. The article presents selected results of experimental measurements and simulation tests. Experimental studies included measurements of vertical track irregularities on the analyzed sections. The dynamical responses of railway vehicle for experimental track geometrical irregularities were determined in simulations for each analyzed track section.
