Interface Journal

Interface, the Journal of Wheel/Rail Interaction, is devoted to examining issues associated with wheel/rail interaction and the ways in which technology is being used to resolve them on railroads and transit systems around the world. While we provide theoretical information, our primary focus is on practical application of the tools, technology, products and services that are used to manage wheel/rail, vehicle/track interaction.

The wealth of information and technology now available has placed the industry on the verge of making a philosophical—and practical—leap from reactive to predictive maintenance and planning. It’s going to take investment in technology to do it, but, as evidenced by several articles appearing in this journal, much of what’s needed is available, practical and functional.

Interface aims to map the inroads and the progress the industry is making in the practice and application of wheel/rail interaction principles. We’ll also be doing our part to help steer the conversation.
