Fully Scalable Train Braking Simulation Environment
Transportation Technology Center, Inc. (MxV Rail), through a research project funded by Federal Railroad Administration (FRA), developed a Concept of Operations (ConOps), documented the infrastructure design, and developed software to support a virtualized fully scalable train braking...Unsaturated Characteristics of Fouled Ballast to Support in Situ Identification of Fouling Using Ground Penetrating Radar – Phase II
The Federal Railroad Administration funded researchers from Kansas State University and the University of Arkansas to establish the electromagnetic, suction, and strength characteristics of fouled ballast as a function of the fouling material and volumetric water content. The team previously...Development Length Variables in Pretensioned Concrete Ties
This research, conducted from 2011 to 2015, is part of a larger project, “Quantifying the Effect of Prestressing Steel and Concrete Variables on the Transfer Length in Pretensioned Concrete Crossties,” conducted by Kansas State University (KSU) and sponsored by the Federal Railroad...
