ABSTRACT
The article features the results of computer and experimental research on operational issues in the aspect of safety in relation to a
freight wagon derailment on a railway track. It presents the knowledge regarding the methods of assessing the operational safety
of rail vehicles on railroad tracks for the purpose of comparative analysis. The theoretical analyses were performed based on
several methods that assess the safety of their derailments, qualifying for operational reliability, comparing them with the results
obtained from experimental research. For the purpose of the research, a computer model of rail vehicle- railway track was created. It took into consideration dynamic parameters of elements used in the real track and rail vehicle. The results obtained from
theoretical analyses were validated with experimental tests carried out on real objects (freight vehicle - test track, freight wagon
- test rig). As part of the research, new test track geometry for testing rail vehicles was proposed. The results obtained in this way
allowed estimating the conditions threatening the operation of a freight vehicle while running on the test rail infrastructure with
different assessment criteria and to compare them.
