Analysis of the Effect of Heavy Duty Freight Cars Loaded Overweight Goods on the Track Structure

Simulation and Planning Project Logistics Operations: A Case Study of Transportation Operation of Autoclave from Petkim Port to Gördes Building Site

“…seeking the last possible reconstruction costs [1]. Li et al (2014), draw attention to the relationship between vehicle types and effects of overweight cargoes. They argue that, overweight goods are a kind of special goods and must be loaded on the heavy duty freight cars when transported by railway.…”

“…However, this sort of car is not taken into consideration when the track structure is designed. In order to have knowledge regarding the action of heavy duty freight cars on the track structure and correctly organize the transportation of overweight goods, the strength of track should be studied with the action of the heavy duty freight cars according to the basic theory of static mechanical calculation [2]. According to Tjan and of vehicles, total vehicle loads, axle types, and axle loads that will pass on the pavement.…”
