The resource requirements and environmental impacts of rail infrastructure [PDF]

open access: yes, 2021
The transport sector is one of the main contributors to climate change. Amongst all types of transport modes, the railway is considered as the greenest one and therefore has been expanded in many countries to decarbonize their transport sector.

PSD of ballastless track irregularities of high-speed railway [PDF]

open access: yesSCIENTIA SINICA Technologica, 2014
The calculation method, fitting function and fitting spectrum of power spectral density (PSD) of track irregularity were proposed in the paper. To improve the calculation accuracy of PSD of track irregularity, a linear interpolation method and a wavelet analysis method are given and used to eliminate the outliers and trends in the track irregularities.

Application of novel fabricated ballastless track on new designed long-span urban bridges

open access: yesAdvances in Bridge Engineering
Fabricated ballastless track has witnessed increasingly wide application in large-span bridges of municipal railways. The current ballastless track standard is applicable to bridges with a main span of 200 m to 400 m. For the main span is longer than 400

The Service Life of Ballastless Track

open access: yesProcedia Engineering, 2017
Abstract Before the widespread use of high-speed rail ballastless track needs to be tested in real conditions at high speed and small axial load. Experimental railway track of “VNIIZhT” makes it possible to carry out tests at high axial load, low speed but that does not fully meet the real fields of application of ballastless track.

Stochastic Dynamic Analysis of High‐Speed Railway Vehicle–Track Systems Based on the Adaptive Probability Density Evolution Method

open access: yesAdvances in Civil Engineering, Volume 2025, Issue 1, 2025.
The theoretical and analytical approaches of stochastic dynamics constitute the foundation for performing in‐depth inquiries into the random dynamic behavior of high‐speed railway vehicle–track system (RVTS). The proposal of the generalized probability density evolution method (PDEM) has opened up new perspectives for the stochastic dynamic analysis of
