This is an open access article distributed under the Creative Commons Attribution License, which permits unrestricted use, distribution, and reproduction in any medium, provided the original work is properly cited. Abstract. The article presents result of computational modelling of container dynamic load during transportation as a part of trains of intermodal transport on a railway ferry. The computational models were developed which account the movement of the container with regard to the frame of the flat wagon while moving of the railway ferry. It was assumed that there is no movement of the flat wagon with regard to the deck, since these movements were limited by fastening means. The obtained acceleration rates, as components of the dynamic loads acting on the container, were accounted while determining the containers stability coefficient with regard to the flat wagons. The railway ferry heeling angles which ensure the stability of the containers were determined. The researches will ensure safety of transportation of containers as a part of trains of intermodal transport on a railway ferry, as well as increase the efficiency of operation of intermodal transport in the international transport. -

Introduction The structure of the rolling stock and container fleet of a 1520-mm track gauge, formed to ensure the operation of the former USSR national economy, unexposed to the outside world, does not meet the new political and economical changes that have occurred in Eurasia. With the emergence of independent states, private operators, private wagon owners, manufacturers and entrepreneurs of the small and medium businesses, amid the processes of privatization and market economy development, there arose a conflict of their interests and views on the required structure of the rolling stock and container fleet, the sources for their investment, the order of their use and management. 2. Characteristics of wagons for a 1520-mm track gauge The rolling stock of a 1520-mm track gauge consists of the so-called "multipurpose" wagons (platforms, open-top and covered wagons), designed to carry a wide range of cargoes and having a dual purpose, and the special, "purpose-built" wagons designed for the transportation of certain narrow range of cargoes. The special wagon bodies are purposely designed and sized for such cargoes in order to reduce the cargo owners’ costs for loading, transportation and unloading. -
