This work aim is designing of dead-end tracks with focus mainly on the friction buffer stop design. There are numerous factors in decision-making process of ending the dead-end track, such as position of the track in station, level of train control system, area capabilities, number and types of trains that regularly run on the track, etc.
The recherche part of this work shows that friction buffer stop is the most suitable construction and preferred type of ending the dead-end track abroad. This is the reason for paying attention to that type of buffer stop with emphasis on the process of design itself. This work includes design of a program using a spreadsheet editor and Visual basic to make the design of friction buffer stop easier. There are described selected factors with highest impact on the design.
