Condition monitoring of rail transport systems has become a phenomenon of global interest
over the past half a century. The approaches to condition monitoring of various rail transport …

This article proposes a proof-of-concept device to continuously assess the usage of
handheld power tools and detect construction working tasks (eg, different drilling works) …

Railway intrusion detection is important for the safety of the railway operation. However, how
to detect intruding events in the scene of unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) surveillance is a …

For damage detection of railway tracks, a two-axle test vehicle is better than a single-axle
vehicle due to its capability of self standing and stability. This paper presents a new …

The actual trend of railway industry on track surveying is heading up the development of fast
automated methods for continuous monitoring of track quality. This paper presents a model …

Distributed acoustic sensing (DAS) using fiber optic cables over an extensive length of
railroads is a well-suited technique for condition monitoring (CM) of railroads. Regardless of …

Increasing demands on railway structures have led to a need for new cost-effective
maintenance strategies in recent years. Current dynamic railway track monitoring systems …

An effective technique is proposed for identifying the track modulus, ie, the foundation
stiffness of the rails, using the contact-point response of the moving test vehicle. First, for a …

Frequent network-wide monitoring of the condition of roadways and railways prevent
fatalities, injuries, and financial losses. Even so, agencies cannot afford to inspect vast …

Assessing power tools usage helps to prolong their life cycle, as well as indicate targeted
maintenance interventions after a particular series of events, eg drops. In this work, we …
