Lessons for Policy Makers in Non-High Speed Rail Countries: A Review

High speed intercity passenger rail is an inherently strong railway application. It operates over 250 km/hour. For perspective, high-speed represents the ultimate development of preexisting standard gauge infrastructure. Network of high-speed passenger rail lines aimed at reducing accident, reducing traffic congestion, air pollution cutting national dependence on foreign oil and improving rural...

Soil Mechanics of High Speed Rail Tracks

As high speed rail is becoming increasingly popular around the globe, alignments are being forced onto marginal land due to land costs and the requirement for straight tracks. Rail foundations spread the applied wheel loads to prevent damage to the underlying in-situ soil upon which tracks are built. Designs which cannot sustain the resulting stresses will cause serviceability issues and will r...

Study on different solutions to reduce the dynamic impacts in transition zones for high-speed rail

One of the most important factors influencing the track maintenance is the transitions between parts of the track with different vertical stiffness. The dynamic...
