Implementing active control to reduce the response amplification of transition zones in railway tracks: A theoretical investigation

<br/>The maintenance and repairs of transition zones pose significant challenges in the railways industry due to their accelerated degradation rates in comparison to free tracks. These zones, characterized by track property variations, amplify their response when a source travels along the tracks. The resulting amplifications in stress and...

The Ephicas Sidewing: Flow Conductor 2.0

Ephicas a spin-off company from the TU Delft created an innovative product, a device that installed beneath a semitrailer can reduce up to 9% of both, CO2 emissions and fuel consumption. This eco-minded product can easily represent a total of 20 tons less carbon emissions per year per truck. The focus of the project was the Flow conductor, the...
