1. Preface Indonesian Railway Technical Standard on Track Design, Installation and Maintenance comprises of three parts, namely Basic Standard, Detailed Standard and Detailed Procedure for Track Structure Design. Basic standard deal with the basic technical standard, where the required conditions stipulated in shall be fulfilled in every railway track. Meanwhile the Detailed Standard regard the particular condition of railway track encountered at site. Detailed Procedure for Track Structure Design deal with the design procedure of track structure examination due to the changing in the implementation condition of new installation, rehabilitation such as increasing number of passing tonnage, increasing train speed in the specified curve, introducing of new rack material or new rolling stock etc. This part, Basic Standard regulate and standardize the very basic requirements that believe will not change frequently, either because of the technology development in the area of construction industry or rolling stock. Meanwhile the Detailed Standard regulate and standardize the particular condition which might be varied between one to others, that is the reason why Detailed Standard more flexible than the Basic Standard. The other hand in order to accommodate the changing of the actual railway system due to changing of the operation condition such as the changing of loading condition or the materials, and to confirm the safety requirement, the Detailed Procedure for Track Structure Design is required. 2. Scope (1) Type of track, alignment of track, structure of track, examination on compressive

strength of track, inspection/arrangement of maintenance of proper track operation and so forth, shall be regulated by this Standard rule, besides any other concerned regulation.

The requirement and specification stipulated in the Basic Standard is basic requirement which was setup based on a theoretical and empirical approach that already well approved and used daily in the railway management, it’s the reason why this Basic Standard should not be modified except there are some fundamental changing. Because the Basic Standard deal with the very basic requirement, the management may manage the business in the effective manner and anticipate the technical problem in early stage, such as:

(1) The weak point of the track section might be improved and anticipated since the planning stage,

(2) Maintenance level may be adjusted due to the comparison result between the inspection record and the limit value of irregularity index
