摘要：The aim of the work is to reduce the train rolling resistance to movement the railway vehicles. The article proves the expediency of changing the constructive scheme of railway vehicle wheel, which allows independent rotation their wheel mounting surface rolling and the guide surface (flange). There has been carried out the classification and analysis of the advantages and disadvantages of various structural schemes wheels of the railway vehicles. There has been analyzed the Features resistance to movement wheels of traditional and perspective constructive scheme. The obtained results allow drawing a conclusion about the possibility of a significant reduction in train rolling resistance to movement of railway vehicles with wheels perspective constructive scheme.
