When rail vehicles run on a track, the wheels cause tangential and normal forces, as well as vibrations. This results in deterioration, influencing system performance and limiting life of components on both vehicle and track. In order to maintain the performance and safety of the system, the track has to be inspected, maintained or renewed. All these actions result in costs.

    A method for estimating costs related to maintenance and renewal of the track is presented in this chapter.
