RTRL was established with the top university highlight laboratory project. The goal of this laboratory is to promote cross-field research, cross-school cooperation, and to link industry-government-academic resources. Striving to consolidate the research and development clusters of rail engineering technology, make NCKU the national hub of railway technology.
Recent research topics:
1. Measurement techniques of railway system 
2. Risk assessment under earthquake of running trains
3. Vibration characteristics and countermeasures of railway system
4. Research on the technology of digital twins and smart track
