From the historical patent (Chapman, 1812) to the last development, the history of the bogie is one strongly linked with rail. Innovation has been constant: even if a bogie still consists of a frame on which two wheelsets are mounted, suspensions and other components, technologies have evolved significantly. Frédéric Desgaches,…
Riccardo Licciardello, Professional Engineer at ANSFISA, the Italian rail and road safety authority, explains how the journal bearing workstream of the Shift2Rail-funded GEARBODIES research project is looking to reduce the lifecycle cost of rolling stock bearings and running gear, primarily through improving the longevity of bearing units.
With Industry 4.0 becoming an increasingly vital part of Norway’s railway industry, Sverre Kjenne, EVP of Operations and Technology at Bane NOR, explains how the digital railway will profoundly change the way people work and what elements the rail industry will gain from these changes.
Douwe Treurniet, Product Owner Asset Degradation at ProRail, discusses the concept of applying data science to predict track degradation in order to support the planning process and mitigate risks. With this prediction, better technical and financial decisions can be made that lead to cost savings and risk mitigation in the…
The Rail Safety and Standards Board (RSSB) is continuing to support innovative solutions to improve the lifecycles of bogies and wheelsets. In this interview for Global Railway Review, Neil Dinmore, Principal Engineer of Structures and Materials at RSSB, provides an update on project progress.
Andy Billington, Innovation and Sustainability Expert at Rail Baltica, explores what options there are to deploy sensor technology along the project’s infrastructure and what potential there is for building a ‘digital native’ railway.
José Conrado Martínez, Deputy Director of Strategic Innovation (CTO) of Adif, explains the difficulties caused by the gauge in Spain, as well as the rest of Europe, and how Adif are contributing to making railroad’s safer with a freight gauge changeover project.
Marina Potapidou, Infrastructure Policy Adviser at the Community for European Railways and Infrastructure Companies (CER), delves into the TEN-T policy and how it has evolved since its introduction almost 10 years ago to become a vital part of Europe’s zero emission aims.
CAF MiiRA presents its new generation of light and efficient gearboxes that contribute to zero emissions, keeping the current reliability and quality standards.
In this In-Depth Focus, the authors cover the latest developments in the journal bearing workstream of the GEARBODIES research project, and how the next generations of bogies and wheelsets will be equipped with innovative devices to improve the lifecycles of these crucial rolling stock components.
In this interview for Global Railway Review, Richard Stock, Global Head of Rail Solutions from Plasser American, discusses how advanced rail milling technology can help to significantly extend the rail life.
In this In-Depth Focus, the authors cover the role of digitalisation and innovation in the Rail Baltica project; the impact of Industry 4.0 on Norway’s digital railway developments; and how ProRail is applying data science to predict track degradation in the Netherlands.
Packed full of exclusive content, including: digital twin developments on HS1; enhancing rail freight activity in Spain; rail's role in zero-emission mobility in Europe; Bogies & Wheelsets and IOT & Advanced Analytics In-Depth Focuses; and much more!
