SUMMARY This paper presents a dynamic settlement model developed the simulation of track settlement behaviour under rail traffic. The model consists of three components: a dynamic vehicle model, a non-linear static model and a mathematical algorithm for predicting trackbed settlement. Simulations of track settlement under various initial geometrical and parametrical conditions are described and simulation results are discussed.
