The railway track with continuously welded rails is an essential part of
the modern railway superstructure around the world. Calculation of the temperature
stresses in continuously welded rails has great significance for the planning
of maintenance activities in order to maintain traffic safety (risk of derailment due
to either rail break, or track buckling). This paper presents the finite element model
for calculation of rail stresses and displacements due to the temperature changes,
which was developed by the authors. The monitoring of the track sections, which
are significant regarding traffic safety, was suggested in this paper.
