  abstract = {A profound description of friction in wheel--rail contact plays an
	essential role for optimization of traction control strategies, as
	input quantity for railway simulations in general and for the estimation
	of wear and rolling contact fatigue. A multitude of wheel--rail contact
	models exists, however, traction--creepage curves obtained from measurements
	show quantitative and qualitative deviations. There are several phenomena
	which influence the traction--creepage characteristics: Mechanisms
	resulting from surface roughness, frictional heating or the presence
	of interfacial fluids can have a dominating influence on friction.
	In this paper, a new wheel--rail contact model, accounting for these
	influential parameters, will be presented. The presented model accounts
	for the interaction of an interfacial fluid model for combined boundary
	and mixed lubrication of rough surfaces with a wheel--rail contact
	model that additionally accounts for frictional heating. A quantitative
	comparison with measurements found in the literature is not conducted,
	since the exact conditions of the measurements are mostly unknown
	and parameters can easily be adjusted to fit the measurements. Emphasis
	is placed on the qualitative behavior of the model with respect to
	the measurements and good agreement is found. The dependence of the
	maximum traction coefficient on rolling velocity, surface roughness
	and normal load is studied under dry and water lubricated conditions.},
