Summary

A special wagon, presented in thiws paper, can be used for intermodal transport of various types of vehicles. It enables transport of vehicles of 40 tons mass and height of 4m on the GB1 gauge height. A unique concept of the wagon structure forced a design approach which was rather unusual for the rail industry. Since the design team aimed at very challenging demands of GB1 envelope and usage of standard bogies, the layout of the wagon had to be carefully examined in terms of its overall stiffness. Every major design change had to be simulated in order to accurately predict its influence on the whole wagon structure. Multibody simulation and finite element analysis were used for numerical tests of such a wagon structure in different configurations. The calculations were carried out on the basis of PN-EN standards. Selected results of numerical tests of the prototype version of such wagon for intermodal transports were presented in the paper.
