Report on Assessment of Tracks

An integrated FEMMBS model will be used allow for consideration of the dynamic analysis of the trainruns along track sections including real track geometry and track stiffness The output of the model will include both results related to train and track behaviour like the displacement of the track the wheel load distribution and the wheelrail interaction force The models will be used to study the design requirements for new track infrastructures for mixed train traffic The models will also be used in conjunction with WP1 to find the optimum sensor locations in the infrastructure
