Compared with ordinary railways, the curve radius of tram lines tends to be smaller, with minimum values of only 30 m. Therefore, wheel–rail interaction is more intense and complicated in sections of small radius tram line curves. Using a stochastic variable sample set based on a generalized probability density evolution method, the stochastic variable–spectrum representation method was used to generate a time-domain sample set of stochastic track irregularities. By inputting the stochastic set of track irregularities into a tram-track coupled dynamic system model, the stochastic dynamic response of the coupled dynamic system can be obtained. Moreover, by substituting the stochastic dynamic system response into the generalized probability density evolution formula, the process of probability density evolution of each evaluation index can be obtained by the finite difference method. Finally, the dynamic response of the tram-track coupled dynamic system can be evaluated by the probability distribution of each index. By setting a series of specific groove rail wear values, a tram-track coupled dynamic analysis was carried out, and compared with the specification requirements, vehicle safety limits under different wear values were obtained. This research has great engineering value for guiding the routine maintenance of small radius curve sections of trams.
