ORE. QUESTION C 152. PRACTICAL RECOMMENDATIONS FOR THE APPLICATION OF MATHEMATICAL METHODS TO CHARACTERISE VEHICLE/TRACK INTERACTION IN VIEW OF TRACK QUALITY ASSESSMENT

This report is a final report summarising the results of the studies undertaken by the C 152 Committee. It contains practical recommendations for the application of both mathematical methods for characterising vehicle/track interaction which were studied, i.e. the multiple input single output method (MISO) and the convolution method. The application of these methods is demonstrated through several examples. Limits of the applications and possibilities for future studies are discussed.
