A model based on the theory of train‐track‐bridge coupling dynamics is built in the article to investigate how high‐speed railway bridge pier differential settlement can affect various railway performance-related criteria. The performance of the model compares favorably with that of a 3D finite element model and train‐track‐bridge numerical model.

The treachery of strategic decisions. An Actor-Network Theory perspective on the strategic decisions that produce new trains in the UK. [PDF]
The production of new passenger trains can be characterised as a strategic decision, followed by a manufacturing stage. Typically, competing proposals are developed and refined, often over several years, until one emerges as the winner.
