2. 1. Integrated Product Service Offerings for Rail and Road Infrastructure : Reviewing Applicability in Sweden

   Author : Sofia Lingegård; Mattias Lindahl; Niclas Svensson; Daniel Brissaud; Linköpings universitet; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Integrated Product Service Offerings; Product Service Systems; long-term contracts; risk; life-cycle perspective; resource-efficiency;

   Abstract : This research aims to explore and propose a more effective management of rail and road infrastructure and the possibility of a more resource-efficient road and rail infrastructure by applying business models based on performance and a life-cycle perspective.There is a lack of efficiency in the Swedish rail and road infrastructure industries - at the same time as the availability of the rail tracks and roads is essential.

4. 2. Long-term rail damage evolution in railway crossings

   Author : Rostyslav Skrypnyk; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; wear; S C; plasticity; wheel-rail contact mechanics; switches crossings; FEM; metamodel; Dynamic vehicle-track interaction;

   Abstract : To accommodate the passage of wheels in intersecting traffic routes, fixed railway crossings have discontinuous rails leading to an intense load environment due to repeated wheel-rail impacts. This gives rise to high costs associated with repair and maintenance of the rails in the crossing.

5. 3. Non-destructive measurement of near-surface cracks in railheads : with focus on ultrasonic inspections

   Author : Rayendra Anandika; Jan Lundberg; Paul Wilcox; Luleå tekniska universitet; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; rail inspection; phased array; ultrasonic testing; eddy current testing; surface cracks; non-destructive testing; NDT; railway; condition monitoring; Drift och underhållsteknik; Operation and Maintenance;

   Abstract : Near-surface cracks in railhead that caused by rolling contact fatigue (RCF) is one of a kind rail defects that degrade rail track quality. Dependent on the trail load, the cracks can reach to severe level quickly. READ MORE

6. 4. Simulation of rail traffic : Methods for timetable construction,delay modeling and infrastructure evaluation

   Author : Hans Sipilä; Bo-Lennart Nelldal; Thomas Siefer; KTH; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Järnvägsgruppen - Kapacitet; Järnvägsgruppen - Kapacitet; Transportvetenskap; Transport Science;

   Abstract : This thesis covers applications and proposes methods for using simulation in a more effectiveway and also in a wider context than normally used. One of the proposed methods deals withdelay modeling that can be used in a calibration process. READ MORE

7. 5. Wheel–Rail Impact Loads and Track Settlement in Railway Crossings

   Author : Xin Li; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; vehicle--track dynamics; wheel--rail contact; track settlement; material modelling of ballast; Switches and crossings; turnout; cyclic loading; Green s functions;

   Abstract : Turnouts (Switches & Crossings, S&C) are critical components of a railway track requiring regular maintenance and generating high life cycle costs. A main driver for the high maintenance costs is the need to repair and replace switch rails and crossings as these components are subjected to a severe load environment. READ MORE
