RAILWAY TRACK Russian patent published in 2022 - IPC B61L27/00 

FIELD: railways.

SUBSTANCE: invention relates to the railway track structure. The track (1) has two rails (2) and a measuring apparatus (3) for the vertical specific pressure, located under the rail (2) and provided with a load-bearing body (4) made in the form of a mat or a plate with distanced measuring sensors (5) for measuring the corresponding vertical specific pressure in the position of each measuring sensor (5). The measuring apparatus (3) is therein limited by a multilayer protective plate (8) ending the measuring apparatus (3) on the outside on at least one side of the load-bearing body (4), wherein the steel (27) of said plate faces the side whereon vertical specific pressures are introduced into the measuring apparatus (3), while the protective plate (8) also has a layer of a softer plastic metal (26) facing the load-bearing body (4).

EFFECT: possibility of tracking the distribution of vertical specific pressures on the surface, as well as change therein.
