Measurements on Correlation between Rail Corrugation and Vertical Loads

Description

This study focuses on metro rail corrugation, particularly roaring rails,
and proposes solutions to mitigate their impact. We explore the
potential of varying vehicle speeds to reduce the harmonic load on
rails caused by corrugation. Measurements of vertical loads and rail
strains in a metro line in Vienna show that while lower speeds
decrease their amplitudes, a deeper rail corrugation does not always
increase them.
