Development of mobile structures to protect railway tracks from rockfall

Abstract

The article develops the design of a mobile protective structure depending on the trajectory of the stones
to protect the railway track from stones. The use of mobile protective structures chosen to protect the
railway track from external influences is justified, taking into account the trajectory, flight range, height
of falling stones from the mountain and the value of impact dynamic forces arising from a collision with
the structure. Also, various designs of mobile protective structures are presented, while taking into
account the possibility of moving structures from an inactive rockfall site to an active one and obtaining
lower costs from an economic point of view.
