Method of complex calculation of rational structural parameters of railway humps

Abstract

The article deals with a method of complex calculation of rational structural parametersof humps at classification yards. Unlike existing methods, this method allows an implementation ofthe technology of guided gravity regulation of the cut speed by applying a special layout and profilearrangement. The authors believe that it will decrease the maintenance costs to refund damaged carand cargo, costs on electricity needed for the cut speed regulation and some extra charges due todemurrages caused by waiting for breaking-up at arrival yards.
