As railroads continue to adopt technology to improve safety and efficiency, the effectiveness of brake systems remains a ...

RAILWAY AGE, MAY 2023 ISSUE: The future is bright if we continue to pursue the five I’s—Identify, Invest, Innovate, Implement and Improve. Welcome to “Timeout for Tech with Gary T. Fry, Ph.D., P.E.” ...

High-speed train wheel dynamics and wear analysis is an essential field focused on understanding the mechanisms that lead to irregular wear patterns, particularly polygonal wear, on train wheels. This ...

m|wheel was designed by Müller-BBM Rail Technologies as a high-precision measuring device for the wheel diameter and the wheel-running surface, which can be used to confirm if wheels are out-of-shape, ...

At the start of September, Network Rail announced the roll-out of eight forerunners of its upcoming fleet of mobile maintenance trains (MMTs), a brand new concept that promises to “revolutionise ...

Rail corrugation – the formation of periodic undulations on the rail surface – poses a significant challenge to modern rail transport by inducing excessive noise, accelerating track degradation, and ...

OAKLAND, Calif. (BCN) - Newly designed BART train wheels, which will be installed on both new and existing trains, are expected to cut the noise heard by riders by as much as 50 percent, BART ...

While train wheels may look simple, their conical design actually conceals some of the smartest engineering solutions in transport. Far from just trundling along steel rails, it's the shape of the ...
