The article concerns the developed methodology for assessing the technical condition of a tramway track. Thanks to the data collected from multiple tram journeys equipped with an on-board vibration recording system, it was possible to create profiles of crossings through track sections in different technical condition. In order to identify the track condition, an algorithm based on the gray-scale modeling was proposed, and a similarity comparison between the obtained track profiles. A new measure of similarity has been proposed that has not been used so far in gray-scale modeling. The obtained results confirm the applicability of the proposed methodology.

Praca dotyczy opracowanej metodyki do oceny stanu technicznego toru tramwajowego. Dzięki zgromadzonym danym z wielokrotnych przejazdów tramwaju wyposażonego w pokładowy system rejestracji drgań, udało się stworzyć profile przejazdów przez odcinki torów w różnym stanie technicznym. W celu identyfikacji stanu toru zaproponowano algorytm oparty na metodzie modelowania szarych systemów oraz badanie podobieństwa pomiędzy uzyskanymi profilami przejazdów. Zaproponowano także nową miarę podobieństwa nie stosowaną do tej pory w zagadnieniach modelowania szarych systemów. Uzyskane wyniki potwierdzają aplikacyjność zaproponowanej metodyki.
