Towards performance-oriented design and maintenance

RTSE 2015

In 2013, UIC, SNCF and Heriot-Watt University initiated a series of International Workshops on Railway Track Science and Engineering, bringing together people from around the globe to discuss selected themes. The next edition took place in Edinburgh on 3 and 4 December 2015 at Heriot-Watt University. Entitled "Towards performance-oriented design and maintenance", the workshop discussed how railway track design and maintenance can be improved through a performance-oriented process. The general themes were cost performance, environmental performance and operational performance.
