The determination of the strategy to ensure that the geometry for railway track is kept within acceptable limits, in a cost effective manner, is a complex process. It requires the simultaneous consideration of the activities which govern inspection,... Read More about A stochastic model for railway track asset management.

Prescott, D., & Andrews, J. D. (in press). Modelling the effects of asset management decisions on a railway track section. In Proceedings of the Second International Conference on Railway Technology: Research, Development and Maintenance. https://doi.org/10.4203/ccp.104.166

This paper reports on the development of a Markov model that uses real-world deterioration, inspection and maintenance data to assess railway track asset management. The model allows both asset management personnel and track maintenance engineers to... Read More about Modelling the effects of asset management decisions on a railway track section.
