ABOUT THE MOTION OF THE WAGON ON THE MARSHALLING HUMP UNDER THE IMPACT OF AIR ENVIRONMENT AND TAILWIND

Abstract

The article applies the concept on the addition of velocities in complex motion in vector form. Mathematical substantiated errors within the determination of the particular resistance to movement of the wagon from the air medium and wind, derived from the empirical relationships given the aerodynamic performance of the wagons. The results of the research can be utilized in the processing of the normative-technical document on the planning of hump devices on railways and making adjustments to the dynamics of rolling the wagon in textbooks for universities of railway transport.
