Abstract

The geometrical track degradation is characterized by the evolution over time (or tonnage) of several parameters such as the longitudinal level, the alignment, the gauge, the twist and the cross level. Dynamic track inspections allow monitoring the track geometrical quality which is essential to ensure track availability and reliability, passenger safety and comfort and also energy efficiency. The track geometrical quality is guaranteed by performing condition-based maintenance and renewal actions during the life of the track and for that it is crucial to understand the geometrical track degradation process.
