Abstract

Due to an ever increasing demand for more frequent and higher volume of train service, the physical conditions of tracks in modern railways are deteriorating more quickly when compared to tracks built decades ago. There are incidences in both the UK and Hong Kong indicating there are needs for a more stringent checks on the rail conditions using suitable and effective non-invasive and nondestructive condition monitoring system.
