Railway Track Superstructure Research at Tampere University of Technology, Finland
Abstract:
Tampere University of Technology (TUT) conducts research in the fields of technology and architecture and provides higher education based on this research. TUT is located in Tampere, the Nordic countries’ largest inland city, some 170 km north of Helsinki. TUT’s campus in the suburb of Hervanta is a community of 8,300 undergraduate and postgraduate students and 1,700 employees. TUT is internationally recognized for its expertise in Railway Engineering, and there is a long history of research on the railway track structure. The Railway Track Structures Research Team at TUT consists of approximately 10 researchers focusing on a variety of topics ranging from subsoil stability, sleepers, rails, and wheel-rail contact. The primary emphasis of rail research at TUT is experimental research based on diverse arrangements that span from laboratory scale material analyses to field measurements and full-scale loading tests. Research methods are complemented by calculational analyses of performance of structures. The railway research at TUT is mainly based on collaboration with Finnish Transport Agency (FTA), the administrator of the Finnish rail network. This seminar will provide an overview of railway track structure research at TUT and will provide an update on two research projects in the field of track superstructure that relate to turnouts and train-track interaction.
About the Site 🌐
This site provides links to random videos hosted at YouTube, with the emphasis on random. 🎥
Origins of the Idea 🌱
The original idea for this site stemmed from the need to benchmark the popularity of a video against the general population of YouTube videos. 🧠
Challenges Faced 🤔
Obtaining a large sample of videos was crucial for accurate ranking, but YouTube lacks a direct method to gather random video IDs.
Even searching for random strings on YouTube doesn't yield truly random results, complicating the process further. 🔍
Creating Truly Random Links 🛠️
The YouTube API offers additional functions enabling the discovery of more random videos. Through inventive techniques and a touch of space-time manipulation, we've achieved a process yielding nearly 100% random links to YouTube videos.
About YouTube 📺
