THE "PERMANENT WAY" IN THE CONTEXT OF WHEEL/RAIL RESEARCH CONDUCTED BY THE GERMAN FEDERAL MINISTRY OF RESEARCH AND TECHNOLOGY

DIE "FESTE FAHRBAHN" IN DER RAD/SCHIENE-FORSCHUNG DES BUNDESMINISTERS FUER FORSCHUNG UND TECHNOLOGIE

The program of studies organized by the German Federal Ministry of Research and Technology, aimed at defining the technical and economic limits of the wheel/rail system, includes the development of a ballastless permanent way as a determining factor in some circumstances. Experimental sections of line have been built at Rheda station on the Dachau-Karlsfeld line and on the northern orbital line at Munich. Besides the track itself, research is being made on track fasteners.
