Railway track maintenance and renewal are vital for railway safety, train punctuality, and
travel comfort. Therefore, having cost-effective maintenance is critical in managing railway …

Conventional planning of maintenance and renewal work for railway track is based on
heuristics and simple scheduling. The railway industry is now collecting a large amount of …

The dynamic performance of a railway track subjected to moving trains depends strongly on
track support conditions. In reality, even for the well-constructed and well-maintained tracks …

Rail is expected to become the backbone of future mobility in the world as the cleanest and
greenest high-volume transport. Rail generates the lowest CO2 emissions and energy …

In response to the growing demand for credit to finance railway projects, portfolios of credit
options which use criteria aligned with environmental factors have proved to be an attractive …

Timely planning and scheduling of railway infrastructure maintenance interventions are
crucial for increased safety, improved availability, and reduced cost. We propose a data …

When planning a new track or improving a track that is currently in-service, it is important to
predict the probable rate of track deterioration as a function of the variables related to the …

This work presents a ratcheting mechanism-based numerical model to study the initiation
location and initiation life of rolling contact fatigue (RCF) or wear damage and the initial …

Today's railway transport is built upon high-performance infrastructure. Cost-effective yet
sustainable infrastructure presumes tracks with a precise and durable geometry. At ballasted …

For scheduling track maintenance, infrastructure managers perform inspections to assess
the track condition. When the irregularities are higher than the threshold limits, a track has a …
