Plasser & Theurer: P&T Research: Machine

End-to-end process presented in Sweden

We as developers are very pleased and proud to see that our latest technologies are enthusiastically received by others. This was also the case in autumn 2022, when our test vehicle, a fully electric Unimat 09-4x4/4S E³, was able to demonstrate its capabilities under field conditions in Sweden as part of Shift2Rail.

Research on synthetic fuels in track maintenance

We have set ourselves the goal of advancing carbon-neutral track maintenance and thus contributing to even greater rail sustainability. In addition to our own E³ hybrid machines, synthetic fuels in particular are an important alternative. Therefore, newly manufactured machines can already be delivered so they are compatible for synthetic fuels.

Research developments for the urban rail

Traffic in tram, light rail and metro networks causes a variety of damage to the rail head. Mechanical stress results in scoring, corrugations, waves, and much more. For decades, preventive, or at least regular, rail grinding has been considered an effective countermeasure.

ATMO silencia los carriles

El esmerilado de carriles contribuye a evitar ruidos no deseados, así como vibraciones y los daños derivados. Plasser & Theurer ha desarrollado desde cero una máquina esmeriladora de carriles para redes de tranvía y de trenes ligeros, que combina dos métodos de trabajo.

How do the Dynamic Track Stabiliser and ballast interact with one another?

Does the Dynamic Track Stabiliser (DTS) have the potential to be more than a ballast compacting machine? Could it also be a measuring device for monitoring ballast compaction? An ongoing research project conducted by the Vienna University of Technology (TU Wien) is examining these questions.

WCRR 2019 Tokio: La vanguardia de la investigación

El primer congreso WCRR tuvo lugar en 1994 en París, gracias al impulso de una serie de grandes empresas constructoras. Desde entonces, el que probablemente sea el congreso profesional ferroviario más importante del mundo viaja alrededor del globo, y volvió a hacer escala en Tokio en 2019, por segunda vez desde 1999. Más de 1.000 participantes inscritos, 630 artículos científicos presentados y unas 300 conferencias celebradas a lo largo de cuatro días configuraron un programa de gran diversidad temática y notable profundidad técnica.

Function test well before applying the first weld seam

For testing the control system embedded in a machine, you need no longer wait for the machine to be built. Thanks to the Hardware in the Loop method, you can start with the first function tests directly after design is completed.

Dynamic stabilisation of new track types in the laboratory

In her doctoral thesis Sophie Feurig focuses on a detailed analysis of dynamic track stabilisation in the laboratory. An in-depth understanding of the system behaviour of the ballasted track sparks not just her enthusiasm.
