Abstract
European standards for railway track are discussed. Areas of focus as they apply to standardization include: rails and welding of rails; track construction and maintenance machines; track-alignment design parameters; sleepers and bearers; fastening systems; switches and crossings; track geometry quality; noise barriers; slab track; vehicle/track interaction; and railway ballast.
A significance statement is not available in the OpenAlex record.
A contribution statement is not available in the OpenAlex record.
Method details are not available in the OpenAlex metadata.
Findings are not separately available in the OpenAlex metadata.
Limitations are not available in the OpenAlex metadata.
Application details are not available in the OpenAlex metadata.
