Track transitions such as bridge approaches, road crossings and shifts from slab track to
ballasted track are common locations where track degradation accelerates due to dynamic …

Asphalt is a common material that is used extensively for roadways. Furthermore,
bituminous mixes have been used in railways, both as asphalt and as mortar. Different …

Railway track transition zones are areas where there is a sudden change in the track-ground
structure. They include changes between ballasted and slab track, bridge approaches, and …

The railway tracks are composed of steel rails that are supported by the infrastructure
through sleepers, which are generally assembled with a fixed separation between them …

Railway track transitions are zones where there is an abrupt change in the track-ground
structure. They are often the location of rapid track deterioration, which means more frequent …

Rubber mats are widely used as a common vibration reduction material in urban rail transit
and high-speed railway, due to its excellent technical characteristics. At the transition zones …

Transition zones such as level crossing and bridge approaches are critical links in railway
networks due to higher degradation rates and maintenance needs. In this context …

Measurement process in railways is an expensive and difficult task which involves several
steps. In some cases, costs can be reduced by using conventional devices such as …

Sleeper spacing has been a taboo subject throughout the railway's history. Safety concerns
related to the structural integrity have been the main causes of not addressing this matter …

The vertical dynamic vehicle–track interaction in a transition between ballasted track and
slab track is simulated in the time domain using an extended state-space vector approach. A …
