  • Use of Ballast Inspection Technology for the Prioritization, Planning and Management of Ballast Delivery and Placement Dr
    Use of Ballast Inspection Technology for the Prioritization, Planning and Management of Ballast Delivery and Placement Dr. Allan M. Zarembski, PE, Hon. Mbr. AREMA, FASME Research Professor University of Delaware Mr. Gregory T. Grissom, PE Vice President Engineering, Georgetown Rail Equipment Company Mr. Todd L. Euston, PE Senior Engineer Inspection Technologies Georgetown Rail Equipment Company Abstract This paper presents the results of a study on the optimization of ballast placement planning, prioritization and management for railway ballast distribution. Specifically, this paper presents the requirements for and inputs necessary to more effectively manage the ballast placement process and take advantage of the new track inspection technologies that provide more accurate and reliable data about ballast condition and track profile. This is to include addressing such key issues as: Where and how much ballast should be placed; to include ballast at end of ties (shoulders), under ties, and in cribs. How much ballast should be placed; to include reference or required ballast profile based on vertical, lateral and longitudinal performance requirements A key portion of this study was the introduction of new inspection technologies now available to more accurately define the ballast requirements. This includes such newly introduced inspection technologies as LIDAR for measurement of the ballast profile, Ground Penetrating Radar inspection for ballast depth deficiency, and other related inspection technologies. This in turn allows for more accurate ballast deficit analysis and calculation to include the reference or “ideal” profile used to determine the ballast deficit and the calculation of the difference between the current profile and this reference profile, which includes vertical load distribution and lateral and longitudinal restraint requirements.

  • Economic Regulation of Utility Infrastructure
    4 Economic Regulation of Utility Infrastructure Janice A. Beecher ublic infrastructure has characteristics of both public and private goods and earns a separate classification as a toll good. Utilities demonstrate a Pvariety of distinct and interrelated technical, economic, and institutional characteristics that relate to market structure and oversight. Except for the water sector, much of the infrastructure providing essential utility services in the United States is privately owned and operated. Private ownership of utility infrastructure necessitates economic regulation to address market failures and prevent abuse of monopoly power, particularly at the distribution level. The United States can uniquely boast more than 100 years of experience in regulation in the public in- terest through a social compact that balances and protects the interests of inves- tors and ratepayers both. Jurisdiction is shared between independent federal and state commissions that apply established principles through a quasi-judicial pro- cess. The commissions continue to rely primarily on the method known as rate base/rate-of-return regulation, by which regulators review the prudence of in- frastructure investment, along with prices, profits, and performance. Regulatory theory and practice have adapted to emerging technologies and evolving market conditions. States—and nation-states—have become the experimental laborato- ries for structuring, restructuring, and regulating infrastructure industries, and alternative methods have been tried, including price-cap and performance regu- lation in the United Kingdom and elsewhere. Aging infrastructure and sizable capital requirements, in the absence of effective competition, argue for a regula- tory role. All forms of regulation, and their implementation, can and should be Review comments from Tim Brennan, Carl Peterson, Ken Costello, David Wagman, and the Lincoln Institute of Land Policy are greatly appreciated.

  • Improving Road Infrastructure and Traffic Flows IRU Resolution Adopted by the Council of Direction at Its Meeting in Brussels on 18 May 2000
    Improving road infrastructure and traffic flows IRU Resolution adopted by the Council of Direction at its meeting in Brussels on 18 May 2000 The mobility of people and goods is dependent on the efficient use of existing traffic infrastructure, and the modernisation and expansion of traffic infrastructure to meet the future demand for transport services efficiently and cost-effectively. This applies in particular to roads, since road transport accounts for more than 90% of all passenger transport and more than 80% of all goods transport in most countries in terms of passengers and tonnes carried. Impediments to mobility such as traffic restrictions, road blockades, closures of certain road infrastructure sections, or congestion due to bottlenecks in road infrastructure ignore the fact that • road infrastructure investments are a vital prerequisite for improving road safety, (see annex 1) • revenues from the transport of goods by road (fuel taxes, vehicle ownership taxes, road user charges) more than cover expenditure on road building and maintenance, as do revenues from the transport by bus and coach (see annex 2) • congested traffic leads to a significant increase of fuel consumption by a factor of up to 3, (see annex 3) • on average, only 0.5% of total land surface in most countries is used for road infrastructure, (see annex 4) • the economic benefits of road infrastructure investments are 29 times its investment costs, and thus the highest of all infrastructure sectors, including other transport modes, (see annex 5) • the economic cost of impediments to road transport (congestion, border delays, traffic bans, blockades etc.) amounts to 0.5% of GDP, i.e.

  • Longitudinal Track-Ballast Resistance of Railroad Tracks Considering Four Different Types of Sleepers
    Longitudinal Track-Ballast Resistance of Railroad Tracks Considering Four Different Types of Sleepers Rudney C. Queiroz São Paulo State University, Bauru (SP), Brazil Abstract This paper aims at studying the behavior of a railroad track concerning the action of longitudinal forces, targeting the determination of the track-ballast resistance, in a real scale standard track model. This research, was developed at the São Paulo State University, and consisted of a comparative study of track- ballast resistance for railroad tracks built with four different types of sleepers. The first set of sleepers was made of steel, the second one was made of wood, the third one of prestressed-concrete and the fourth one of two-block concrete. In order to carry out this research, four 1600 mm gauge models were built with two TR-68 rails, fastened to seven sleepers by means of elastic fasteners and base plates. The sleepers, all of the same type for each model, were embedded in 0.35 m thick ballast, which was supported by a layer of 30 cm thick compacted soil. The computerized data acquisition system allowed displacement and force values to be obtained in real time. By convention, the maximum longitudinal track-ballast resistance corresponds to a displacement of 15 mm. The prestressed-concrete sleeper setup showed the greatest longitudinal track-ballast resistance per sleeper. The second best performance was obtained by the two- block concrete sleeper setup, followed by the wooden and the steel sleeper setups. The force- displacement curves showed an exponential rise to a maximum shape. The displacement corresponding to the maximum track-ballast resistances were different for each kind of sleeper setup.
