We Stand FOR Collaborative, HOLISTC, and Interdisciplinary Research on System’s LEVEL. RESULTS SHALL be sound, published, and implemented.

The main focus in research is supporting railway infrastructure asset management by data-based (empiric), knowledge-driven, and economically proven procedures. Our algorithms and evaluations support predictive maintenance for track and turnout.

Turnouts

Shifting S&Cs towards data-based predictive maintenance

For turnouts

Vehicle-Track Interaction

Moving beyond grosstonnes, designing vehicle-based track deterioration models

For vehicletrackinteraction

Short-waved Effects

On the way towards root-cause based maintenance

For shortwavedeffects

Automatized M&R Planning

Supporting predictive maintenance and renewal planning, achieving network-wide sustainable budgets

For automatizedm&rplanningpng

Cost of Non-Availability

Creating a sound cost base for infrastructure maintenance strategies with system’s view

For nonavailability

Maintenance Strategies for increasing Traffic Volumes

Developing new approaches and strategies for highly used railway networks

For amwithincreadloads

Only published research is available knowledge
