    Experiments with Track Ventilation for Amphibious Tracked Vehicles and With Track Covers and Retraction
    P. W. BrownWalter E. Klosinski
    Abstract : An experimental model investigation of the effects of local pressurized captive air bubbles in the track wells of an amphibious vehicle is reported. In addition, the effects of track retraction and of track covers are documented. The track ventilation does not reduce the calm water drag, however, track retraction and the use of track covers can reduce the total drag by 40% at typical operating speeds.

    Dynamic Properties of the Railway Track
    Communications - Scientific letters of the University of Zilina (2007)
    Martin Moravčík
    The paper is focused on different aspects of track dynamics and train-track interaction. The dynamic modeling of railway track response and of the interaction of vehicle and track at low and mid frequencies, that are significant for the track deterioration, is presented. Dynamic properties of the track structure as a whole is described and evaluated including the dynamics of compound train-track system. The dynamic amplification resulting from the simulated passage of the locomotive of the type E 499.0 (85t) is presented.

    Track Maintenance Reactions for Combined Track Defects
    ICRT 2017 (2022)
    Qing WuColin ColeMaksym Spiryagin
    Existing standards in Australia and many other countries determine track maintenance response and train speed restrictions mainly by judging the severity of isolated track defects. However, combined track defects (multiple types of track defects occurring in the same vicinity of a track section) pose greater challenges and risks for train operational safety. And there is a lack of quantifying research in terms of which combinations are the more severe and how maintenance schemes should be adjusted compared with responses to isolated track defects. This study proposed a method to identify severe track defect combinations that pose greater risks for vehicle derailments. A tabular tool was developed to help infrastructure managers to adjust maintenance reactions when track defects are found in combinations.
