Calculation methods and technological applications creating sustainable railway tracks satisfying the modern operational demands

The most important step in the calculation and dimensioning of railways superstructures is determination of proper rail types, fastening and supporting systems ensuring an integrated track system with long service life and as much as possible low construction costs. Without proper maintenance of the railway track it is impossible to ensure sustainable railway superstructure. Providing the elasticity of the rail tracks is also a special challenge for the railway engineers because these days the decreasing of noise pollution and vibrations play a main condition in sustainable rail track design.
