One of the greatest problems encountered by railways in
Europe is that track costs, the major cost component for
Infrastructure Managers (IMs), have not significantly
decreased in the last 30 years. In the same period of time,
competing modes of transportation have seen a significant
reduction of Life Cycle Costs (LCC). This narrows the business
case for rail transportation. In addition to costs, noise
pollution also became a crucial issue for railway operations.
