A track irregularity prevention method for the transition zone between different track structures using automatic irregularity-correcting sleeper

It is common knowledge that at the transition zones between ballastless and ballasted track, track deformation becomes locally discontinuous; therefore, hanging sleepers are likely to occur. As a countermeasure for such track irregularity, the authors have developed a track structure which uses Automatic Irregularity-Correcting Sleepers called AICS. In this paper,...
