Although vibration is considered as one of the important factors in passenger ride comfort,
yet it has not been applied for predicting tram track degradation in tram network. Rail track …

Tram is classified as a light rail mode of transportation. Tram tracks experience high
acceleration and deceleration forces of locomotives and wagons within their service life and …

Along with increase in tram traffic, gradual increase in gauge deviation is inevitable.
Excessive track gauge is considered as an effective parameter in aggravating the quality of …

In rail infrastructure maintenance management systems, Track Degradation Index (TDI) is
considered as a representative of quality of rail tracks. This index is usually developed …

Gradual deviation in track gauge of tram systems resulted from tram traffic is unavoidable.
Tram gauge deviation is considered as an important parameter in poor ride quality and the …

 Abstract—There is a need among transportation maintenance decision makers for a better
understanding of the long-term behavior of railroad tracks. The use of accurate techniques to …

In the past few decades, the railway infrastructure has been widely expanded in urban and
rural areas, making it the most complex matrix of rail transport networks. Safe and …

The increase in traffic congestion in urban areas as a result of more private transport
intensifies the importance of promoting public transport and rail transport in particular. The …

The aim of this study has been to predict the track geometry degradation rate using artificial
neural network. Tack geometry measurements, asset information, and maintenance history …

Rail transport authorities around the world have been facing a significant challenge when
predicting rail infrastructure maintenance work. With the restrictions on financial support, the …
