3.6. CONCLUSIONS FOR THE VIENNESE CURVE<br />
The Viennese Curve will be implemented in new lines and in the retamping of the sleepers of existing<br />
ballast <strong>track</strong>s of the Wiener Linen (Vienna public transport) and the Österreichischen Bundesbahnen<br />
(Austrian Railway). For the heavy railway the Viennese Curve is regulated in the internal standard B50 -<br />
<strong>track</strong> routing. In metro <strong>track</strong>s, the Viennese Curve is installed in several test sections since about three to<br />
four years. The rail profile, wear, and also the horizontal alignment have been measured periodically<br />
since the construction, but there is no analysis of the data up to now. For <strong>track</strong>s embedded in roads, the<br />
Viennese Curve usually is not convenient because of the defined cant, which is not compatible with the<br />
pavement.
