CASE STUDY 4: Low Adhesion Investigation (Grooved Rail)

Written By Ben White

  • PRT300 tribometer can be mounted to embedded/grooved rail

  • Low adhesion issues on tram/metro network throughout year

  • Inner city, numerous sources of contaminants (level crossing debris, construction and installation debris, organic contamination, brake dust and wear particles, sand or friction management products)

  • Mitigation strategies tested
