This fascinating exploration reveals the complex engineering decisions behind the distinctive shape of railroad rails. Grady from Practical Engineering explains how conical wheels, flange placement, ...

“[Wiener Linien] has already started to implement the new profiles and should be seeing the benefits shortly, if not immediately.” Figure 7. The modified rail profile implemented on line U6. Interface ...

MxV Rail engineers developed 3D CAD models of the measured wheel profiles and the portion of the track leading up to and including the switch point. In these 3D models, the wheelset was constrained ...

Wheel and rail profile optimisation is a critical research area aimed at enhancing railway vehicle performance, reducing wear, and ensuring safety. This multidisciplinary field integrates advanced ...
