Abstract
The article considers a method for assessing the stability of empty containers from tipping over on wind-dependent railway sections. The article considers the statistics of road accidents caused by the separation of containers of various types from specialized flat cars under the influence of squally winds of different speeds. The purpose of this study is to develop a methodology for determining the conditions that lead to the overturning of empty containers from specialized railway cars under the influence of wind load. An expression is obtained that allows determining the minimum wind speed that leads to the overturning of an empty container. The article presents the calculation of the wind speed that leads to the overturning of empty containers of various types on straight and curved sections of the railway track. The results of the study can contribute to the development of universal technical solutions for various regions of the world, ensuring the stability of an empty container under the influence of wind loads.
