Measurement methods and analysis tools for rail irregularities. A case study for urban tram track [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
Rail irregularities, in particular for urban railway infrastructures, are one of the main causes for the generation of noise and vibrations. In addition, repetitive loading may also lead to decay of the structural elements of the rolling stock.
