The friction coefficient μ on the contact point position between a wheel flange and a rail is said to seriously affect on the occurrence of the wheel-climb derailment. However, the method to quantitatively and exactly evaluate the μ has not suggested until to the present. The authors proposed a method to easily and exactly evaluate the value, and made it clear by an experiment, employing a 1/5 scale model track and model truck. The result obtained through the experiment indicates that the value on dry rails has a similarity with that of the adhesion coefficient, and that the dry rail on the main line keeps the value at high level. Using the μ value obtained by the studies, the risk of the wheel-climb derailment was evaluated. As the result of the evaluation, they found that higher μ value than the conventionally used one should be introduced for the risk evaluation of the derailment, and that very short term lateral force below 60 ms should be observed on the steep curvatures.

The authors proposed a new method which could easily and precisely detect the contact point position between the rail and the wheel under the critical condition of wheel climb derailment. As the result of the experiment using the above mentioned method, they found that the position was variously changed according to rail attack-angles and wheel lift-up values from the rail tread. The next, employing the contact point position, a new conception was proposed to theoretically calculate the wheel lift-up value from the rail tread when a wheel climb derailment occurred. Using a model track and a model truck, experimentation was done to examine the difference between the theoretically calculated value and the practically measured one on the wheel lift-up value. The result obtained was very much in agreement with the theoretically calculated value and the practical lift-up one.
