Abstract
The commercial speed of the tramway is higher than that of the bus, the car its platform is essentially on its own lane (that is to say excluding other modes of traffic) and it has priority over other vehicles at crossroads. This speed makes it attractive and makes it possible to envisage a new organization of travel in urban areas. Maintaining this gain is a priority and this by following a preventive maintenance program. The planning of a preventive maintenance work requires a good fault diagnosis Our study consists of modeling the fatigue effect on a simultaneous, left and right tram rail section using the finite element method using solidworks software According to our analysis results, the traces of fatigue appearing on the left rail are less significant compared to the right rail. An accurate prediction of the profile fatigue evolution of the rail to improve safety and reduce costs preventive.
