Build-up welding as it is done at STIB is the current state of the art and forms the basis for all other<br />
measures regarding <strong>track</strong> maintenance in curves and especially for embedded <strong>track</strong>s. This topic does not<br />
require any further research or validation.<br />
The Viennese curve so far is only implemented in heavy rail and metro, and has not yet been<br />
implemented on tramway where tight curves are prevalent. Even Wiener Linien who developed the<br />
geometry still has to implement it for tramway. The geometry has the potential to reduce wear in curves<br />
and could be implemented on <strong>track</strong>s in their own right of way.
