Abstract
Railway vehicles are efficient due to the low rolling resistance at the contact point between the wheel and rail. To maintain this efficiency, both train operators and infrastructure owners must ensure that wheels, rails, and vehicles remain in good condition. Wheel wear, in particular, can significantly affect a vehicle’s dynamic behavior and increase the dynamic forces exerted on the rail.
