Designed Elastic Components to Improve Life Cycle Costs of Track Superstructures

In this presentation, Mr. Dorfner shares Getzner's solutions to vibrations and structure-borne noise generated by railways, which have a detrimental effect on track superstructure components such as rails, sleepers, and ballasts. He also underscores the importance of introducing more elasticity into the railway superstructure to reduce maintenance outlay and life cycle costs.

Asia-Pacific Railway Innovations Forum 2019

The level of railway technology varies greatly throughout developing Asia and the Pacific but is often ancient in terms of railway infrastructures, systems, and rolling stock. New technologies in the digital sphere, from control systems to data gathering, create an immense opportunity, but at the same time, the agony of choice as countries must sort and prioritize which technologies are the most appropriate in their specific, national case.
