Solutions.
SOLUTION: The scope of WP3 is to develop
innovative plain line track solutions:
Development, assessment and validation of
local rail head repair solutions; establish a
general framework for evaluation of innovative
concepts and decision support; significantly
enhance the understanding of mechanisms and
influential parameters regarding different track
solutions; transfer the enhanced understanding
into improved predictive models able to
optimize solutions and LCC estimations;
customise noise reduction measures for
specific operational conditions; derive hybrid
track solutions that merge benefits of different
track systems.

PROBLEM STATEMENT: Network Rail and 52
other partners from across Europe contribute
to and benefit from the In2Rail (I2R) innovation
funding vehicle, this is WP5: Smart
Infrastructure – COTS Monitoring (thermal
stress and track geometry).
SOLUTION: The purpose of WP5 is to develop
innovative approaches for monitoring key track
characteristics. To this end, existing inspection/
measuring equipment will be integrated with
improved data assessment and analysis. The
overall purpose is to increase automatic
detection of track defects in order to facilitate
reduction of traffic disruptions and asset
management costs.
Two key characteristics will be the main focus
of WP5: track geometry monitoring by inservice trains and thermal rail stress
monitoring . The starting point will be the
analysis of current techniques, detectors and
inspection systems/procedures.

SOLUTION: The objective of WP6 is to
demonstrate a sound, consistent and holistic
approach towards asset maintenance making a
difference not only to the reliability of the
railway system/infrastructure, but also in the
reduction in recurrent maintenance cost.
Improving individual maintenance approaches
or tasks alone are not enough; instead an
integrated approach is required. To illustrate
this approach the project shall consider the
track and S&C as specimen.
