Title: DEVELOPMENT OF THE U.S. ARMY RAILROAD TRACK MAINTENANCE MANAGEMENT SYSTEM (RAILER)
Abstract: Abstract : U.S. Army Facilities Engineers are responsible for maintaining more than 3000 miles of railroad track. The track is dispersed in small lots and is analogus to industrial rather than commercial trackage. There is currently no standard method for gathering track inventory and condition data and no standard method of determining the track's condition. This report presents an overview of the proposed U.S. Army Railroad Maintenance Management System (RAILER) and recommends procedures for track evaluation. RAILER will consist of subsystems for network definition, data collection, data storage and retrieval, network data analysis, and project data analysis. Subsystems development will be highly dependent on track condition evaluation procedures. Two major evaluation categories have been identified: track structural condition and track operational condition. (Keywords): RAILER; U.S. Army Railroad Track Maintenance Management System; Railroad tracks; and Maintenance management.
