Railroad ballast. Life Cycle CostAbstract
In the last decade the management of railway infrastructure in Brazil had major changes compared to the previous decades. The increased volume of goods transported demanded the restructuring of railways and infrastructure management became an important issue. In response the railways began working with quantitative analysis of the impacts of decisions on maintenance to ensure the quality of infrastructure in the long term and sustain your budget needs. In this paper an approach based on life cycle cost of the ballast due to changes in the assumptions of the undercut cycle and tamping cycle in order to propose an economic strategy for the asset maintenance at Estrada de Ferro Vitoria Minas (EFVM). The studies have reported that the renewal solution with 50% of ballast is the most economical and the main costs involved are stopped train hours and tampingDownloads
