Schienenverläufe
Schienenverläufe, German for "track layouts" or "railway alignments," refers to the specific geometric paths and arrangements of railway tracks. This concept encompasses the horizontal and vertical curves, gradients, and the overall design of how tracks are laid out in relation to each other and the surrounding landscape. Understanding Schienenverläufe is crucial for railway engineering, operations, and planning.
In terms of horizontal alignment, Schienenverläufe dictates the curvature of the track. Tight curves can limit
The complexity of Schienenverläufe increases significantly in areas like junctions, stations, and tunnels. Junctions require intricate
