Track geometry is highly important for ensuring railroad safety. Predicting track geometry
degradation can support preventive maintenance by identifying and prioritizing track …

The estimation of track degradation rate is a challenging step in scheduling preventive
maintenance interventions due to its uncertain nature. To tackle this challenge, a large …

The ability to assess the risks of the functional safety of railway tracks allows harmonizing
characteristics of track elements under certain operating conditions under certain …

Railway tracks, like all civil works, experience degradation after being put into service, thus
losing their initial design conditions. This degradation manifests itself mainly through …

Predicting the tamping cycles of railway track sections based on track geometry deterioration
rules is necessary to reasonably allocate the limited tamping maintenance resources …

Purpose. To prove that the GCCM (geosynthetic cementitious composite mat)–type Concrete
Canvas (CC)–is an adequate supplementary layer on the top of the subgrade. As its …

Analyzing the relationship between track geometry defect occurrence and substructure
condition can provide assistance for track inspection and spot maintenance, which …

To ensure the safety of railroad operations, it is important to monitor and forecast track
geometry irregularities. A higher safety requires forecasting with higher spatiotemporal …

This work addresses the contribution of the wavelength composition of the spectrum of the
rail support stiffness profile to the expected long-term settlement. To that aim, purely …

The use of ground-penetrating radar (GPR) technology in railway maintenance and
inspection has gained significant attention in recent years due to its non-destructive and …
