INNOTRACK : concluding technical report ; [innovative track systems]


Book Description

The track structure, rails, switches and crossings account for more than 50% of maintenance and renewal costs for the rail industry. To improve the competitiveness of rail transportation, the cost-efficiency of these areas needs to be addressed. This is the background to INNOTRACK, an integrated research project funded by the European Commission's 6th research framework programme. Running from September 2006 to December 2009, INNOTRACK has developed a multitude of innovative solutions in the areas of track substructure, rails & welds, and switches & crossings. The solutions have been assessed from technical, logistics and life cycle cost point of views.
