The report summarizes the Federal Railroad Administration (FRA) sponsored Rail Research Program, and outlines many of the problems presently encountered by the railroad industry in providing safe, high-speed transportation; and illustrates the vital role of cost-effective maintenance planning. The report was originally presented at the IEEE/ASME Joint Railroad Conference in St. Louis, Missouri, in April 1973. The FRA Test Cars are described, with emphasis placed on the ability of the cars to measure all parameters of track geometry at high speed. Examples are included of the various types of computer-generated reports which are designed specifically for personnel who are responsible for maintenance planning and operations.
