Why do we still have derailments? |
|
The state of railway vehicles highly influences transport safety due to vehicle derailments, as such, one of the important elements that influence the state of railway vehicles is the wheel state, therefore, it is critical to take a closer look at ways and effects of timely detection of wheel defects, including discussion on wayside railroad lubrication system to meet the railway's requirements in demanding environments. As such, World Railway Transport & Infrastructure Monitoring Conference 2016 provides a timely platform to share perspective and best practices in rail flaw inspection, wheel performance, safety and derailment prevention as well as implementation of ECP brakes, including strategies and technology for the management of track stability. |
