Forward-looking workspace design

New milestones in ergonomics and occupational safety for large machines: the development of the new Plasser AssemblyLiner 1020 is setting standards.

Machine data treasure hunt

The aim of predictive maintenance strategies is to estimate the optimum time for maintenance measures. With special machine construction, characterized by small production quantities, conventional statistical or AI-supported data analyses quickly reach their limits. What is needed is a concept that derives specific recommendations for action from the wealth of machine data.

Rail grinding reduces noise emissions caused by trams

The ATMO (Automatic Track Machine Oscillator) rail grinding trailer has been in use at Wiener Linien for some time as part of a research project. Time to take stock. To what extent can tram emissions such as noise and vibration be reduced thanks to rail grinding?

End-to-end process presented in Sweden

Als Entwickler erfüllt es uns mit Freude und einem gewissen Stolz, wenn unsere neuesten Technologien begeisterte Reaktionen hervorrufen. Das war auch im Herbst 2022 der Fall, als unser Versuchsträger, ein vollelektrischer Unimat 09-4x4/4S E³, im Rahmen von Shift2Rail seine Fähigkeiten unter Feldbedingungen in Schweden demonstrieren konnte.

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.

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 Tokyo : État d’avancement de la recherche

La série de WCRR a été lancée en 1994 à Paris, principalement à l’initiative de plusieurs grandes entreprises ferroviaires. Depuis lors, le plus important congrès ferroviaire spécialisé fait le tour du monde. En 2019, il s’est arrêté à Tokyo pour la seconde fois depuis 1999.

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 stabilization 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.
