The Institute of Railway Structures and Constructions provides education in bachelor, master and doctoral study programs in courses on design of railway structures, railway substructure and superstructure design of railway stations, modernization and optimization of railway tracks, mechanization and realization of railway structures, measure engineering and simulating, transport systems and geographic information systems.

Research and professional activities of the institute are focused on designing and assessment of modern and effective railway structures regarding improving reliability and safety of railway transport. The main activities of the institute are arranged in the followings topics:

  • Design: support for designing of railway structures, cooperation in preparation of modernization and reconstructions studies of railway and tram tracks, design of railway stations;
  • Track structure: static and dynamic analyses of railway structures incl. experimental, calculations of stability and reliability of railway superstructure and substructure, short or long term continual monitoring and diagnosis of track components, assessment of LCC;
  • Maintenance and Construction: technology and procedures of track works, maintenance optimization and strategy, logistic;
  • Environment: measuring and analyses of acoustic and vibration parameters of railway structures as well as other civil and machinery structures, modelling of noise originated in road or railway transport, mitigation measures.
