Case studies
Question, method, result.
Operator work at the wheel-rail contact. Each study states the question, what we did, what we measured and what came back.
Checked against real wear
Measured wear, checked against the simulation.
VBZ shared years of rail-profile wear data for a tight Zurich curve. Traila's own simulation reproduced the same pattern, curve section by curve section.

One August day, three sections, one portable tribometer: what the friction coefficient actually does, lubricated and not.
