Advanced Stochastic Modeling of Railway Track Irregularities

الملخص EN

As an important interference source of railway vibration, track irregularity is studied in this paper.

It is presented that irregularities in the vertical profile and alignment can be modeled as a Gaussian random process.

The power spectral density (PSD) of the irregularity is calculated and discussed.

By analyzing the model, level-crossing properties as well as peak statistics are studied and compared with the observed data.
