Description
Summary:This research presents existing problem of railway elements and motor –vehicle road elements at their intersections. The objects of simulation research were vehicles passing over a level crossing of automobile road and rail-transportation road. Objective of this research was to determine the vibration levels of structural elements of the crossing, to generate the loading curves for certain parts and to prepare a mathematical model that could be applied in further simulations. For this purpose a model of level crossing was built in the SolidWorks system. Subsequently, those simulations will produce relatively optimal level-crossing construction with the application of shape - memory elements, NiTi-type-materials.
