    Ballast management machines. The ballast needed for a functioning track network is an important capital asset. Enormous investment costs for substantial quantities of ballast make cost-efficient management of the raw material essential. Economical distribution of ballast over the complete network is a big source of potential savings.

     · Abstract. The geometry of a ballasted railway gradually deteriorates with trafficking, mainly as a result of the plastic settlement of the track-bed (ballast and sub-base). The rate and amount of settlement depend on a number of factors, and for various reasons are difficult to predict or estimate analytically.
