Abstract


Vehicles moving across the railway are exposed to the dynamic reaction of unevenness surface on those railway crossing. This significantly influences the increase of the acceleration and forces values transferred to the body of the car. These values depend to extent on the geometric parameters of road and rail crossing as well as on the characteristics of the car tires and suspension. The paper presents the results of experimental tests railway crossing of a small delivery vehicle on selected railway crossed place with a diversified geometric cross-section structure.
