Railway Track Fault Classification for Predictive Maintenance Using Deep Learning Algorithms Based on a 2D Train‐Track‐Bridge Interaction Model

IET Intelligent Transport Systems, Volume 20, Issue 1, January/December 2026.
A deep learning framework integrated with a 2D train track bridge simulation model is developed to classify corrugation and ballast faults from vibration signals using time frequency analysis. The method achieves high accuracy and supports predictive maintenance for railway infrastructure.

Mechanisms and mitigation of short pitch rail corrugation

, 2022
Short pitch corrugation is a (quasi-) periodic rail surface defect with shiny crests and dark valleys. It primarily occurs on tangent tracks or gentle curves with a typical wavelength in the range of 20-80 mm.

Photovoltaic‐Assisted Energy Optimization for High‐Speed Train Performance in South Africa Intercity Electric Rail Corridors

The Journal of Engineering, Volume 2026, Issue 1, January/December 2026.
ABSTRACT Decarbonizing the intercity rail in sub‐Saharan Africa requires the use of energy architectures that go beyond traditional grid reliance at the expense of traction performance. This paper introduces a novel photovoltaic (PV)‐assisted hybrid traction topology for a 42 km Pretoria–Sandton rail corridor in South Africa, where between‐rail PV ...

Localized Resonance Mechanism of Rail Corrugation and Active Suppression via Wheel–Rail Self-Grinding on Urban Express Line with Different Tracks

Applied Sciences
The occurrence of short-wave corrugation with wavelengths of 32–44 mm on curved sections of urban express railway lines is particularly pronounced, yet the underlying initiation mechanisms have remained insufficiently understood.

Experimental Study on Spatial‐Position Effects of Subway Vibrations on Adjacent Tunnels

Advances in Civil Engineering, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.
The effects of subway‐induced vibrations on surrounding structures are a critical issue in urban underground engineering, as they directly affect the structural stability and integrity of tunnels and nearby infrastructure. Existing research has mainly focused on the vibration responses of single tunnels, surrounding soils, or adjacent buildings, with ...
