Track-Related Research: Volume 1. Broken Rail Detection. Control of Wheel/Rail Friction. Wide-Gap Welding Techniques. A Compendium of Three Reports on Joint Track-Related Research with the Association of American Railroads/Transportation Technology Center, Inc. Transit Cooperative Research Program.

摘要

This report includes the results of three research tasks carried out under TCRP Project D-7, Joint Rail Transit-Related Research with the Association of American Railroads/Transportation Technology Center, Inc.: (1) Alternative Broken Rail Technologies for Transit Applications; (2) Prototype Demonstration of Film Coating to Reduce Noise and Wear in the Transit Environment In-Track Rail Welding in Transit Tracks. This report should be of interest to engineers responsible for design, construction, maintenance, and operation of rail transit systems.
