Mathematical models are extremely limited at modeling ballast, the gravel layer located under railway tracks. Researchers have shown that a large part of the energy introduced by a train passing is ...

Rhomberg Sersa Rail Group (RSRG) has entered into an agreement with Balfour Beatty U.S. to acquire the Balfour Beatty Track Solutions division. The division will be rebranded as Rhomberg Sersa North ...

Railway track engineering is a multidisciplinary field that focuses on the design, construction, and maintenance of rail infrastructure. A critical component of this endeavour is the ballast, which ...

The evolution of particle breakdown in railway ballast – the crushed rock under railway tracks to absorb the weight of trains – has been modelled. Sun YiFei from the University of Wollongong led a ...

FSW Design’s unique blow moulded ballast board for the rail industry has won the Best Industrial Product Design award at this year’s Plastics Industry Awards in London. The product was designed for ...

Railways allocate a significant amount of capital and maintenance costs to maintaining high-quality ballast layers, which are critical to a successful rail operation. With ballooning rail traffic ...

As weather extremes become more frequent, transit agencies recognize that resilience requires a coordinated approach.

SNCF engineers have been using mathematical models for many years to simulate the dynamic behavior of railways. These models have not been able to take into account large portions of the track have ...
