ECOTRACK : a tool for track maintenance and renewal managers

摘要

On the initiative of European Rail Research Institute and with the financial support of the UIC, European railway experts have pooled their knowledge and experience for the design and the development of a decision-support system for permanent way maintenance and renewal management. The final product, called ECOTRACK (ECOnomical TRACK), is available since March 1998. The originality of ECOTRACK is to provide planners and managers with a powerful tool for the purpose of minimising track life-cycle costs.
