Rail corrugation management systems - part 1: Opportunities for BR research (RR-TCE-072)

Rail corrugations cause increased track damage and noise. They are controlled by corrugation grinding, but it is an expensive operation, costing over £10,000 per grinding train shift. Corrugation Grinding Management Systems (CGMS) have to potential to make significant improvements in the cost-effectiveness of corrugation grinding. Essentially, CGMSs will produce plans...
