The institute's research focuses on:

• Design and dimensioning of superstructure components
• Interaction of components within the system
• Wheel-rail contact
• Elasticity in the superstructure
• Turnouts, transition zones, insulated rail joints, etc.
• Validation of simulations with in-track measurements
• Determination of forces, movements, accelerations, etc. in the track
• Establishment of a laboratory for component and system testing
