The IN2ZONE research project will design and test a prototype next generation transition zone solution that provides a step-change in track support conditions, resulting in a reduction in maintenance interventions. The new solution will combine the newest existing transition solutions with technological advances from other sectors, including recent advances in material science. This interdisciplinary approach will improve both the track super-structure and sub-structure designs, thus ensuring the whole system stiffness is optimised. To increase lifespan, advanced automatic irregularity correcting sleepers will be designed, that are synthetic and optimised for transition zones. This will enable the transition zone solution to self-correct minor vertical track geometry irregularities/faults. Further, the solution architecture will be modular to ensure the benefits are realised in minimal time.
On 31 May 2023 took place the final event of IN2ZONE project, in Budapest. The IN2ZONE research project has been working in the designing and testing a prototype next generation transition zone solution that provides a step-change in track support conditions, resulting in a reduction in maintenance interventions. During the final event, the project partners have presented the main outcomes and ...
