Resilient Malmbana

Collaboration to ensure resilience and capacity on the Ore Line at the lowest cost through research and education from a maintenance perspective coordinated by JVTC.

Goal

The goal of this project is to strengthen collaboration that ensures resilience and capacity on the Ore Line at the lowest possible cost, through research and education focused on maintenance and coordinated by JVTC.

Projects status and results

The Resilient Malmbana initiative is a complement to Trafikverket's development program. It will be a process-oriented approach to investigate which long-term challenges the academy should focus on for research. Preliminary focus areas are track substructure, bridges, more efficient maintenance logistics, analysis for prediction, regulations and AI, condition monitoring, increased axle load, maintenance in an Arctic environment with year-round maintenance and the importance of the Iron Ore line from a NATO perspective.
