developing a prototype transition zone  between slab track and ballast track for high-speed freight and  passenger railway lines designed to minimize material wear, loss of  geometry and track quality.<\/p>\n    \n\n\n<p>Joining a stretch of ballast track to a stretch of slab track is done through transition zones. These zones are designed to minimize excess wear due to sharp changes in the vertical rigidity of the track. This sudden change causes the material under the track to wear more quickly, thus increasing maintenance costs and reducing the useful life of the infrastructure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The aim of the DINATRANS Project is to develop a <strong>prototype transition zone<\/strong> to minimize these issues. Maintaining the geometry and quality of the track reduces damage due to the dynamic stresses caused by the circulation of trains, and leads to savings in track maintenance and conservation costs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>DINATRANS approaches the issue using advanced \ndynamic simulation models adapted to the Spanish national railway \nnetwork. This requires carrying out the design, approval, \nimplementation, verification and patenting of the elements making up the\n transition.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Financed as part of the <a
