Identifying the factors influencing track degradation on the UK rail network
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Clarke, S., & Prescott, D. (2017). Identifying the factors influencing track degradation on the UK rail network.

As trains traverse track, the smoothness of its vertical geometry decreases. This degradation is linked to many interrelated factors, making it difficult to identify the primary causes. Through the use of multiple layer analysis, each factor was indi... Read More about Identifying the factors influencing track degradation on the UK rail network.
