Zbigniew Kędra

Dr inż. Zbigniew Kędra serves as an Assistant Professor in the Department of Transport Engineering at the Faculty of Civil and Environmental Engineering, Gdańsk University of Technology. His primary workplace is located in the HYDRO building at ul. Narutowicza 11/12, Gdańsk.

His research focuses on critical aspects of railway infrastructure, including track technology, geodetic measurement systems for railways, and railway safety analysis. His work emphasizes practical applications in rail inspection, maintenance methodologies, and accident investigation protocols. Key contributions include developing standards for wheel-rail interaction analysis and precision measurement techniques for track geometry.

Dr Kędra's publication record demonstrates consistent expertise in railway engineering through technical monographs and forensic analyses. His 2017 monograph Technologia robót torowych comprehensively covers track maintenance technologies from manual methods to mechanized ballast cleaning and welding techniques.

Professional activities include conducting geodetic surveys for railway infrastructure verification and providing expert testimony for railway accident investigations, such as the 2015 Krotoszyn-Chojnice line derailment.
