Abstract
The number of unexpected crashes, breakdowns and catastrophes in mechanical nonlinear dynamical systems stays very large. The paper deals with the increasing of rail transportation safety using nonlinear dynamics methods and the modern catastrophe theory. The original method of complete bifurcation groups is suggested for systematical prediction of dangerous motion regimes
