The article describes the properties and application of the original adaptive multipoint (for each irregularity size) method for predicting the values of track geometric parameters and their changes over time, based on the use of convergence theory. Prediction results are presented in the form of irregularity size distribution function (ISDF). ISDF shows the cumulative length of specific-size track irregularity within an arbitrary length track segment at the end of the prediction interval. The method is based on three main principles: using the ISDF function to describe track condition and changes therein, using only the results of previous measurements for calculations as input information about the condition of the track, using the ISDF convergence process analysis to calculate future values of the track geometric parameters. The method is invariant to the length of the time interval between past measurements. The method also allows to identify a tendency to sudden spontaneous deterioration of the track, which does not follow from a regular trend. For longitudinal level defects, the average prediction error for defect sizes s>|3|mm and prediction intervals of 2 and 6 months does not exceed 0.35%.
