During the research, models will be made considering the

With this models’ results, it is intended to identify the possible
failure modes, considering the observed forces and the
corresponding fatigue of the materials.

The customization of these results will allow their
implementation in Adif’s Asset Management Platform, and thus
predict the evolution of future states of the track elements and
determine homogeneous maintenance criteria together with CONVENSA,
renovation plans, optimizing economically the life cycle cost
