Modeling variable curvature on the turnout diverging track length

Abstract

The paper presents three variants of variable curvature application on the entire length of the turnout diverging track. One linear and two nonlinear curvature cases: described the function of C1 and C0 class were considered. It turned out that both linear curve and the function of C1 class requires a significant (even twice) length of diverging track extending with respect to the base turnout. The curvature described by the function of class C0 proved to be far more favorable, although the necessary extension of the turnout is still considerable. In the turnouts with variable curvature of diverging track it is possible to shape the horizontal ordinates flexibly by manipulating the crossing angle and radius. The study shows the effects of such a procedure, the aim of which was to obtain an appropriate value of the final ordinate.
