Original abstract
In comparison with other modes of transportation particularly road and air, rail transportation is among the most energy efficient with a significant environmental and social favorableness. For successful and efficient railway transportation the wheel-rail interface is the subject of interdisciplinary research efforts. The interaction between wheel and rail depends on vehicle-track dynamics, contact mechanics and tribology. These phenomena are related to cost, safety, maintenance, reliability, environment and energy consumption. The tribology of wheel-rail interface plays important role according to processes of adhesion, friction and wear. This review paper deals with laboratory experimental research of tribology of wheel-rail contact.
