Analysis and improvement of railway crossing performance using numerical and experimental approach: application to 1:9 double crossovers

The paper presents an integrated approach for analysis and improvement of performance of railway crossings. The approach consists of a detailed finite element (FE) model of a wheel rolling over a crossing (validated against the measured crossing accelerations) and experimental tools installed on the crossings in situ. The studied crossings are...
