Railway Ballast Monitoring by GPR: A Test-Site Investigation [PDF]
Remote Sensing, 2019 Effective maintenance of railways requires a comprehensive assessment of the actual condition of the construction materials involved. In this regard, Ground-Penetrating Radar (GPR) stands as a viable alternative to the invasive and time-consuming traditional techniques for the inspection of these infrastructures.

Dynanics of a vehicle-track coupling system at a rail joint [PDF]
, 2015 The dynamic behaviour at a rail joint is examined using a two-dimensional vehicle–track coupling model. The track system is described as a finite-length beam resting on a double-layer discrete viscous-elastic foundation.

Multi‐level fatigue reliability assessment of reinforced concrete railway bridges
Structural Concrete, EarlyView.Abstract This paper presents a multi‐level reliability framework for assessing the fatigue life of reinforced concrete (RC) railway trough bridges subjected to cyclic loading. The framework incorporates increasing levels of analytical complexity and real‐world data in four steps. First, an analytical model applies S–N curves and the Palmgren–Miner rule

Real-Time Inspection System for Ballast Railway Fasteners Based on Point Cloud Deep Learning
IEEE Access, 2020 Rail fasteners are the most numerous components in railways and they should be inspected periodically. Manual inspection is currently a common solution, which is laborious and low-efficient. Some automatic inspection approaches are proposed.
