Influence of Track Stiffness on Track Behaviour under Vertical Load
Promet (Zagreb), 2012 The analysis of track behaviour under vertical load is traditionally based on the presumption that the stresses and deformations in track elements can be determined by the application of the Winkler’s Hypothesis.

Frontiers in Built Environment, 2020 When planning a new track or improving a track that is currently in-service, it is important to predict the probable rate of track deterioration as a function of the variables related to the train and its periodicity.

Assessment of Track Quality in Trial Test Sections by Spot and Continuous Method
Communications, 2015 The quality of track alignment and track geometry is an essential precondition of safe and economical operation of railway track. The paper provides an analysis of diagnostics of relative track geometry parameters and evaluation of measurement deviations

Tire track geometry: Variations on a theme [PDF]
Israel Journal of Mathematics, 2006 We study closed smooth convex plane curves $Γ$ enjoying the following property: a pair of points $x,y$ can traverse $Γ$ so that the distances between $x$ and $y$ along the curve and in the ambient plane do not change; such curves are called {\it bicycle curves}.

Track Geometry for Light Rail Systems
Transportation Research Record: Journal of the Transportation Research Board, 2010 Light rail systems are characterized by running over the streets, with semiexclusive (or reserved) right-of-way. This factor leads to the necessity of adapting the track geometry to that existing in the streets. This adaptation sometimes leads to great challenges: strong vertical grades, horizontal circular curves with small radius without ...

Quality Behaviour of Turnouts: Comparison, Problem Specification and Recommendation of Measures
Applied Sciences, 2023 For future requirements, asset management of turnouts needs to rely on data-based assessment tools. These tools must enable the quantification of quality behaviour of turnouts and identify causes of poor behaviour.

The interaction between railway vehicle dynamics and track lateral alignment [PDF]
, 2016 Track geometry deteriorates with traffic flow, thus it needs to be regularly restored using tamping or other method. As the deterioration is mainly in the vertical direction this aspect has been widely studied and models for its analysis developed ...

Optimal geometry for oval sprint tracks
Journal of Biomechanics, 1990 Track aspect ratio is defined as the percentage of lap length devoted to turns on an oval running track. Equations based on experiments are developed to model a composite runner with a specified top speed, during an acceleration phase in the straightaways and a centripetal phase in the turns.
