Recently the FRA has proposed a reduction in the maximum allowable net axle lateral load limit from the current 50 percent of static vertical axle load (NAL/V limit = 50%) to less than 40 percent depending, in part, on the basis of FRA's lateral track strength model, TREDA. Such a reduction could indirectly result in limiting the maximum speed of high speed passenger trains to the equivalent of 7 inches (178 mm) cant deficiency. This paper reports on the author's investigation of selected assumptions and calculations made in TREDA. Improvements to the model are recommended and a revised NAL/V relationship is proposed, derived from an independent analysis of the driving and resisting forces. Finally, a vehicle dynamic analysis is performed to determine how the author's proposed revised NAL/V limit would affect 9-inch (229 mm) cant deficiency operation as the high speed rail industry is now considering.
