The document discusses the RHEDA 2000 ballastless track system and its modifications. It provides an overview of the RHEDA 2000 system, describing how it is suitable for different structures like embankments, bridges and tunnels. It also outlines modifications of the system like RHEDA MRT for third rail applications, RHEDA City for urban environments, and RHEDA RX for mass-spring systems. The document concludes with references and example projects where RHEDA 2000 has been implemented worldwide.

Ballastless tracks
State-of-the-art solutions for high speed lines
Main characteristics:
Low maintenance
High availability
Increased service life
Reduced life cycle costs
Low structure height
Low weight
High lateral track resistance which allows future speed increases in
combination with tilting technology
No problems with churning of ballast particles at high-speed

Track Status Number Q – Sengeberg-tunnel – Rheda system

12. Riyadh / KSA | May 6th, 2014 12
Fully takes into account RHEDA design principles by Prof. Dr. J. Eisenmann
Is a system with a modified, i.e. low height bi-block sleeper with protruding
lattice truss reinforcement along the entire length of sleeper thus providing:
High durability due to continuously improved composite action effect
between sleeper and structural concrete
Accurate track geometry
A high level flexibility enabling combination with other types of rail
fastening and other device fixations
A reduction in construction height
Avoids formation of longitudinal cracks in the slab concrete, due to
troughless construction
Facilitates and improves construction performance thanks to lighter track
grid and mechanisation of assembly procedures
System technology is consistent throughout for all track types, such as
earthwork constructions, bridges and tunnels as well as turnouts, expansion
joints etc.
