Established in 1992, ARRT continues to support the rail transportation industry through publication of its engineering, research and development activities as well as through internationally recognized seminars, conferences and lectures. ARRT is active in American Railway Engineering and Maintenance of Way Association (AREMA) committees and has made significant contributions to the recommended practices in the AREMA manual for track engineering. ARRT provides engineering support in cases involving rail failures, product failures, and vehicle component failures. ARRT is innovative and nimble in its approach to solving problems and breaking down the complex sciences that form the bases for its recommendations.

ARRT focuses on safety. We specialize in designing solution-driven track systems and developing standards based on the most modern methodologies available to ensure optimal track/train interaction and component life. As a key developer of innovative track technology, ARRT combines analytical tools available in Computer-Aided Design, Finite Element Analysis, and event simulation with data from laboratory and field-testing. Combining this with real-world experiences from derailment investigations and failure analysis, ARRT is able to design better track solutions.

ARRT's investigative research team in cooperation with the railway industry and regulatory agencies encourages the use of rail as a dependable and cost-effective mode of transportation in North America and abroad. Our goal: to assist the railway industry to remain profitable in this era of changing transportation priorities.

Our clients include Calgary Transit, CN, CP, CSX, GO Transit, Kansas City Southern, Montana Rail Link, Quebec Cartier Mining, and UP, just to name a few.
