Rail corrugation detection by Gabor filtering
Inspection of the rail state in order to detect defects is one of the basic tasks in railway maintenance. Rail defects exhibit different properties and are divided in various categories relating to the type and position of flaws on the rail. In this paper, we propose a technique, based on texture analysis of rail surface, to detect and classify a particular class of defects: corrugation.
متن کاملService Quality and its Importance for Rail Freight Customers
Liberalisation process has just started in the Turkish rail market with the new law recently entered into force in order to comply with EU Directives. In the liberalised markets, service quality is the decisive factor that rail undertakings can use to create difference and achieve competitive advantages. The purpose of this paper is to analyse the customer perceived service quality for rail fre...
متن کاملAustenitic Manganese Steels – Developments for Heavy Haul Rail Transportation
In 1882, Sir Thomas Hadfield patented an alloy with quite remarkable properties. Its composition was Fe-1.3%C-13%Mn and it was the toughest alloy known! The claim has stuck for the century since then and the alloy is now used universally for the “frog” in railway crossings in countries such as Canada where heavy loads are moved by rail using high axle loading. In fact, the alloy is very soft wh...
متن کاملRailscan: A Tool for the Detection and Quantification of Rail Corrugation
Rail corrugation is a phenomenon that leads to a waving in the rails with wavelengths typically between 3 cm and 100 cm and amplitude levels of several microns. The genesis of this waving is complex. Rail corrugation is a recognized problem that leads to excess vibration on the rails and vehicles to a point of reducing their life span and compromising safety. In urban areas excess vibration noi...
متن کاملLoad Quantification for Light Rail, Heavy Rail, and Commuter Rail Transit Infrastructure
The type and magnitude of loads passing through the track superstructure have a great impact on both the design and the performance of concrete sleepers and fastening systems. To date, the majority of North American research focusing on quantifying rail infrastructure loading conditions has been conducted on heavy-haul freight railroads. However, the results and recommendations from these studi...
