A review of recent research on structural monitoring in railway industry is proposed in this
paper, with a special focus on stress-based solutions. After a brief analysis of the …

Real-time and continuous monitoring through smart sensors is considered to be the
evolution of traditional track testing, enabling the earlier detection of the main failure modes …

Trackside monitoring of railways provides useful data for understanding the condition and
mechanical behaviour of railway track, prior research has shown that railway track …

With the increases in traffic, axle loads and travelling speed, the dynamic monitoring of
railway tracks and structures is becoming more and more important to ensure a high level of …

Differential settlement of ballast and subgrade is a common issue in ballasted railway tracks.
In transition zones between two different track forms, such as between a ballasted track and …

Ballastless track structure are presently seen as an attractive alternative to conventional
ballast. A new model was designed and a real-scale mockup was built and tested in fatigue …

The condition of railway infrastructure is currently assessed by track recording cars, wayside
equipment, onboard monitoring techniques and visual inspections. These data sources …

Optimal operation, reduced energy consumption, longer service availability, and high safety
level are the major concerns in today's railway transport systems. Smart monitoring systems …

Safety and environment impact of urban railway play a primary role in the management of
Public Transportation Companies. One of the critical problem is track maintenance activity …

There is today ample evidence that fiber Bragg gratings (FBGs) distributed along a railway
track can provide robust axle counting and bring numerous assets compared to competing …
