Track stiffness is a parameter which significantly influences to the track geometry
deterioration, rail fatigue and deterioration of other superstructure and substructure components
during the track service life. Track stiffness measurement has great theoretical and practical
importance for the design of new railway lines, as well as for upgrade and maintenance of existing
railway lines. This paper analyses standstill and continuous measurement methods for static and
dynamic track stiffness, which are used worldwide. In addition, it presents measurement
principles and performances used for inspection vehicles and devices, and guidelines for selection
of the optimal method for stiffness measurement depending on the user requirements.
