Railway ballasted track, traditional railway track, consists of steel rails, sleepers, fastener system, ballast, sub-ballast and subgrade. Railway ballasted track has been widely used in railway system around the world. Ballast, which supports the sl...

Railway prestressed concrete sleepers are a structural and safety-critical component in railway tracks. [...]

Top-of-rail (TOR) lubricants represent modern approach for friction modification between wheel and rail. The main goal of this study was to investigate potential risks and benefits associated with the application of these products, especially in term...

A turnout, a component on modern railway tracks, provides operational flexibility by diverting the vehicles to different directions between two routes. [...]

On-demand (or unplanned) track inspection could be due to a disruption in a track geometry recording car [1–5]. [...]

In this study, using the analysis program DIASTARS III that is able to take into account the dynamic interaction between railway vehicles and railway structures, we conducted seismic train-running analysis on a model line that is about 4.8 km long. A...

Several decades of the High-Speed Rail (HSR) in Japan have generated direct impacts on Japanese’s life regarding reducing short time travel, enabling newly accessible areas, and increasing transport market. [...]

The objective of this study was to investigate the influence of solid particles of talc in water contaminated wheel-rail contact. The main aim was to identify situations where low adhesion can occur and define properties that impact the drop of adhes...

Prestressed concrete is currently the most used material for railway sleepers because of its superior advantages in structural performance, low maintenance, sustainability, and construction. [...]

The demand of concrete material is increasing for applications in railway [...]
