“Rail is amazing and definitely the future for Europe. The EU has made huge efforts to shift traffic from road to rail and research and innovation for railways is supporting those policies.”

In the media: Technology can predict railway faults

At the Luleå Railway Research Center at Luleå University of Technology (LTU), the state of the railway can be checked by means of sensors. With sensors on trains and on the tracks, disturbances and faults can be anticipated.

Less friction, wear and cracks of railway rails

The wear and cracks on the Swedish railways can decrease by 60 percent thanks to lubrication of the rail with friction controlling products. This shows new research at the Luleå Railway Research Center at Luleå University of Technology. The new research results may mean that the Swedish Transport Ad...

In the media: Leading railway researchers have a model for better rail maintenance

Sweden has an aging rail system with the need for maintenance. Researchers at Luleå Railway Research Centre at Luleå University of Technology believe that the knowledge of rail and rail maintenance must increase in society and with politicians in order for the right resources and measures to be put ...

Dissertation Saad Ahmed Khan - Operation and Maintenance Engineering

Effects of Top-rail friction modifiers on friction, wear and cracks on railway rail

In the media: Research will save Malmbanan Railway

The doctoral student Saad Ahmed Khan has spent the last four years researching how lubrication of the rails can reduce rail wear. Lubrication of the rail can reduce wear on Malmbanan rail by 60 percent, according to research at Luleå University of Technology.
