Railway track performance and durability face growing challenges from higher speeds, heavier axle loads, and changing environmental conditions. Crumb rubber-modified asphalt (CRMA) offers a sustainable solution by repurposing waste tires into a durable material for railway trackbeds, improving both performance and environmental impact. Following PRISMA-ScR guidelines, this scoping review synthesizes an extensive body of global research on the structural, mechanical, and environmental benefits of CRMA in railway trackbeds. A systematic literature search was conducted across major academic databases, covering studies published over several decades. Selection criteria focused on CRMA applications in railway trackbeds, using keywords such as “crumb rubber-modified asphalt”, “railway track vibration”, and “sustainable railway materials.” After rigorous screening and eligibility assessment, the most relevant peer-reviewed studies were included, emphasizing mechanical performance, durability, and environmental impact. Key findings indicate that CRMA effectively reduces ground vibrations, enhances load distribution, and lowers long-term maintenance costs while promoting sustainable waste management through tire recycling. However, challenges such as optimal mix design, potential emissions, and long-term bonding stability require further investigation. Additionally, the review was limited to English-language studies, potentially omitting relevant non-English research, and some reports were inaccessible during retrieval. This review maps critical research gaps, identifies key areas for future optimization, and highlights CRMA’s potential to advance resilient and eco-friendly railway infrastructure.
