摘要：
This paper presents an overview of the principles and technologies relating to railway infrastructure. Specifically this paper includes rail wheel contact, inspection and maintenance of rail. Intelligent transport systems (ITS) and their applications for the purposes of the railway transport in Europe are discussed. The potential, levels of development, technological and operational characteristics of the European Railway Traffic Management System (ERTMS) are presented. Finally, a discussion on methodologies, principles and current practices for access charging in Europe is provided. (C) 2012 Published by Elsevier Ltd.
