Why our tailor-made concept for regenerative rail maintenance is a unique way of efficient maintenance of track and turnouts.

Dr. Robert Bernerstätter, Data Scientist for R&D and Engineering in Diagnostics & Monitoring Technologies for Infrastructure at voestalpine Signaling Austria GmbH, writes of the potential that lies in smart turnouts, to increase availability and, through the use of AI, predict maintenance needs and in turn, reduce costs.

voestalpine Railway Systems offers a free webinar "Noise in the Wheel-Rail-Interface" as the fifth in a new webinar series on Grooved Rails. Learn more about which rail-side parameters influence noise-emissions followed by a live Q&A panel. Register for the webinar on November 17, 2021.

“When the world comes together, we create a better tomorrow” – From October 1, 2021 to March 31, 2022, the world EXPO 2020 takes place in Dubai, UAE. Among many partners, voestalpine Railway Systems is also a part of this event.

In 2018, VAMAV Vasúti Berendezések Kft., a joint subsidiary of MÁV Hungarian State Railways Private Limited Company and voestalpine Railway Systems, was chosen as a turnout supplier of Hungary’s first tram-train project. In 2021, the construction work was completed and the operation is expected to start in September 2021.  

From the standpoint of a wheel, the crossing area of a turnout can be characterized as an uneven transition area. With rigid frogs, the components in this confined region are subject to high stresses when the wheel transfers through the gap in the “throat” of the frog from wing rail to block tip and vice versa. The newly developed Ultra High Performance Crossing (UHPC) from voestalpine Turnout Technology Germany GmbH provides a remedy for this issue.

PJ Messtechnik GmbH and voestalpine Track Solutions Germany GmbH, a subsidiary of voestalpine Railway Systems, the global leader for railway infrastructure system solutions, are pooling their respective core competencies in rail maintenance of urban transport systems under a new service for customers.

voestalpine Railway Systems, the global leading provider for railway infrastructure systems, hosted an one-day-digital-summit on June 29, 2021. The latest trends related to performance requirements for the railway, leading to 24/7 availability, and optimized life cycle costs were presented in two dedicated conference areas.

Under extreme conditions, voestalpine Railway Systems Beijing delivered 22 heavy-haul rail expansion joints to Haolebaoji-ji'an Railway.

voestalpine Railway Systems offers a free webinar "Grooved Rail String: We care – you drive" as the fourth in a new webinar series on Grooved Rails. Learn more about our system solutions for Grooved Rail Tracks followed by a live Q&A panel. Register for the webinar on June 16, 2021.
