Abstract

Maintenance of the quality of the railway track is crucial for the safety and comfort of passengers on high-speed trains. We believe it is possible to detect deterioration of the track by constant monitoring the dynamic vehicle response to track features. Our project is worked out in close cooperation with Deutsche Bahn AG (German Rail).
