In 2023, the ‘Roadmaps for AI Integration in the Rail Sector’ project (‘RAILS’) – a first of its kind project addressing AI in railways from a broad perspective – will come to its end. For Global Railway Review, this article provides an outlook of the project and what it means…
Take a look at Global Railway Review's most read articles of 2020, including Scotland’s ambition to deliver a decarbonised rail network, the feasibility of a high-speed rail service between Chicago and NYC, and the opportunities for using big data analytics on India’s national railway network.
Can mainline and rail freight operations take advantage of the opportunities offered by Automatic Train Operation (ATO)? Rob Goverde, Professor of Railway Traffic Management & Operations and Director of the Digital Rail Traffic Lab at Delft University of Technology, explores.
Rolf Dollevoet, Alfredo Núñez and Zili Li – Colleagues from the Section of Railway Engineering at Delft University of Technology – explore current developments in utilising passenger locomotives that use sensors to capture huge amounts of data to achieve monitoring and maintenance ‘during revenue operations’.
In this in-depth focus: Condition Based Maintenance during revenue operations; Smart Investments; Digital & geoinformation technology; use of high-strength steel; and a roundtable with industry experts...

Current design philosophies of railway tracks are based on the conception of a railway system as a statically loaded system. This is directly translated into two classical principles: load spreading and stiffness reduction in downward direction. A ‘layered’ track design results in order to transfer the enormous wheel-rail contact stresses…

In the last two years the roll-out of the innovative weigh-in-motion (WIM) system Quo Vadis has taken place on the Dutch rail network. This system, developed by ProRail, Baas R&D and NedTrain Consulting, has been installed in 38 locations, allowing the measurement of 80% of traffic movements and 96% of…
