General and Technical Considerations for Implementing High Speed Rail Systems in Australia [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
Australia has a number of medium speed rail services such as the Prospector, which runs from East Perth to Kalgoorlie, at speeds of up to 160 km/hr. Speeds as high as 210 km/hr have been reached by the tilt train from Brisbane to Rockhampton.

Network analysis of vessel movements facilitates rapid response to invasive marine species incursion

open access: yesJournal of Applied Ecology, Volume 63, Issue 5, May 2026.
This study presents a transferable framework for prioritising surveillance and early detection efforts for IAS. By integrating spatial data on vessel movements with species traits, managers can identify sites with a high relative incursion likelihood and increase detection speed.

Discreet element modeling of under sleeper pads using a box test [PDF]

open access: yes, 2018
It has recently been reported that under sleeper pads (USPs) could improve ballasted rail track by decreasing the sleeper settlement and reducing particle breakage.

Forecasting the Invasion of Eurasian Watermilfoil (Myriophyllum spicatum) at the Northern Edge of Its North American Range

open access: yesFreshwater Biology, Volume 71, Issue 5, May 2026.
ABSTRACT Eurasian watermilfoil (Myriophyllum spicatum) is an invasive aquatic plant posing increasing ecological and management challenges in North America. In Quebec, Canada, the species is rapidly expanding northward into uncolonised catchments. Thus, accurate forecasting of invasion risk is essential to guide proactive monitoring and intervention ...

Modelling the interaction effects of the high-speed train-track-bridge system using ADINA [PDF]

open access: yes, 2006
The main purpose of this paper is to present some results concerning the investigation of the effects of the vehicle-bridge interaction in simply supported medium span viaducts, including the modelling of the ballast-rail track system.

Improving the performance of railway tracks through ballast interventions

open access: yes, 2018
Maintenance and eventual renewal of a ballasted track constitute major operational costs for a railway network. Thus, significant benefits would accrue from a more robust track design having a longer service life and reduced maintenance requirements ...
