Railway crossing with adjustable pulling force as function of loading

Abstract

In this paper presents the concept of controlling the pulling force as a function of loading of railway crossing that was modelled as a discrete-continuous system. Two elements figure are described as continuous systems: elastomer support and pull-strings. Tension in pull-strings is adjusted in relation with railway crossing loading.
