The use of detailed wheel/rail contact models has long been frustrated by the complicated
preparations needed, to analyse the profiles for the local geometry and creep situation for …

In wheel–rail adhesion studies, most of the test rigs used are simplified designs such as a
single wheel or wheelset, but the results may not be accurate. Alternatively, representing the …

Rail–wheel contact measurement is crucial for several reasons. First and foremost, it directly
affects the safety of passengers, crew, and the general public. Accurate measurements help …

The focus of this research is the development of predictive models for temperature
forecasting of rail wheel contact temperature through data collection from experimental …

Proper values of the adhesion coefficient are the key to guarantee good operations of
railway transportation systems in terms of safety, performances and punctuality during both …
