Voestalpine and PJ Messtechnik have developed a new concept of rail maintenance in plain track and turnouts which uses a combination of rail milling and monitoring. The process is explained by Hubert Oberhuber and Dr Johannes Neuhold with Voestalpine, Jordi Orta Roca with Barcelona Metropolitan Transport (TMB), and Dr Daniel Brandl and Benedikt Schönhuber with PJ Messtechnik.
