Description of Grooved Rail
Grooved rail, also known as tram rail or girder rail, is a type of rail with a groove or channel in its head designed for use in tramways and light rail systems, particularly where pedestrian and vehicular traffic cross the tracks. This design allows for the road surface to abut the rail, minimizing tripping hazards and allowing for smoother road crossings.
Details about Grooved Rail
Purpose and Design:
Minimizing tripping hazards: The groove in the rail head allows for a smoother transition between the track and the surrounding road surface, reducing the risk of pedestrians tripping or vehicles encountering obstacles.
Facilitating mixed-traffic environments: Urban planners commonly use grooved rails in areas where trams or light rail share the road with other vehicles and pedestrians.
Wheel flange guidance: The groove also serves to guide the wheel flanges, helping to maintain the correct track gauge and stability.
Types of Grooved Rails:
Girder rail: This type has a distinctive “I” shape with a taller profile.
Block rail: This design has a more compact shape, with the head and foot integrated into a single block of steel.
