Proceedings of the Institution of Mechanical Engineers, Part F: Journal of Rail and Rapid Transit
The Journal of Rail and Rapid Transit is devoted to engineering in its widest interpretation applicable to rail and rapid transit. The Journal aims to promote sharing of technical knowledge, ideas and experience between engineers and researchers working in the railway field.
"The IMechE was founded by George Stephenson in 1847 and Part F of the Proceedings (the Journal of Rail and Rapid Transit) aims to continue the strong tradition of informing railway engineers of innovative concepts and advances in knowledge as well as examples of practical developments and applications. Basic research with potential rail applications is also included in the Journal's scope." Professor Simon Iwnicki - Huddersfield University, UK

The Journal of Rail and Rapid Transit publishes peer-reviewed articles devoted to all engineering disciplines applied to rail and rapid transit. It provides a continuing means of sharing technical knowledge, ideas and developments between industry and academia.
The Journal seeks to encompass innovative concepts, advances in analytical methods, and examples of actual developmental work. Basic research with identified rail applications is included in the Journal's scope.
The scope extends to all aspects of trailway science and engineering including:
- Motive power, traction and rolling stock;
- Passenger and freight;
- Mainline and suburban railways;
- Light rail / urban transit;
- Metros;
- Maglev;
- Track systems;
- Interaction of vehicles with the infrastructure and the environment;
- System infrastructure and interfaces;
- Inter and multi-modal transport;
- Human factors;
- Command and control;
- Reliability and safety;
- Inspection and maintenance;
- Customer interfaces;
- Data and the digital railway;
- Railway engineering trends.
