Mechanics-based model to predict ballast-related maintenance timing and costs
A mechanics-based model has been developed which predicts the timing of required ballast maintenance based on track settlement and roughness. With user-defined track material properties, loading characteristics, and maintenance technique to be applied, the model determines the rate of track roughnes...
