Infrastructure DemonstrationMultifunctional Geotextile – Chemnitz, Germany
The multifunctional geotextile includesprotection of the railway substructure bythe strengthening and stabilisation ofthe existing structures and monitoring oftheir performance with the possibility ofthe infrastructure owner being alerted byan alarm before structural failure occurs.

Infrastructure DemonstrationPremium Rail – United Kingdom
To prove its benefits, Premium Rail hasbeen installed at seven trial sites acrossthe United Kingdom on Network Rail’sinfrastructureThe trial sites were selected based upontheir previous degradation history byNetwork Rail
3
Infrastructure DemonstrationSupport stiffness site tests – Wooden Gates
Under Sleeper Pad trials undertaken atUK site with positive results forreduced ballast degradation.
4
Infrastructure DemonstrationTrack based monitoring and limits for imposed loads
Wayside Monitoring has been furtherdeveloped and installed on several routes inSweden
– This one is placed on the Swedishwestern main line between Stockholmand Gothenburg
– The line carries a broad spectra of

different vehicles, i.e. mixed traffic
Current Output
– Speed & axle counting
– Loco type identification
– Vertical & lateral forces per wheel
– Angle-of-attack
– Wheel defect counting

• Dynamic performance of unloaded SUSTRAIL vehicle(up to 120 km/h) – verify safety of running
• Dynamic brake tests with unloaded SUSTRAIL vehicle(up to 120 km/h) – braking, and braking thermal capacity
• Dynamic performance of unloaded reference vehicle(up to 120 km/h) – benchmarking activity
• Dynamic performance of loaded SUSTRAIL vehicle(up to 140 km/h) – verify safety of running
• Dynamic brake tests with loaded SUSTRAIL vehicle(up to 140 km/h) – braking, and braking thermal capacity
