Performance on Track Podcast
Performance on Track® is the podcast by voestalpine Railway Systems, taking you inside the world of high‑performing railway infrastructure.
In each episode, we explore the technologies, projects and decisions that drive performance on track, from innovative railway solutions and sustainable approaches to real‑world applications and best practices.
You’ll hear from the people behind the performance: experts, engineers and specialists who shape railway systems through their knowledge, experience and passion.
Created for anyone interested in how railway performance is built in practice.
EPISODE 02 - TRACK SYSTEMS - PART I
How do engineers actually understand what is happening in the track?
In Episode 02 of Performance on Track, track systems expert Lukas Prettner explains how engineers combine measurements, simulations, and real-world observations to understand track behaviour. Discover why the wheel–rail interface is so important and why railway infrastructure must always be viewed as a complete system.
EPISODE 01 - RAILWAY SYSTEMS SOLUTIONS
Railways have operated reliably for over 200 years, but their performance depends on a complex system of interdependencies. In this episode, Albert Jörg explains why infrastructure must always be viewed as a whole. From wheel–rail interaction to maintenance and lifecycle management, everything is connected.
Learn how a holistic perspective helps prevent failures and ensures long-term performance.
