Design and Exploration of a Computer Vision Based Unmanned Aerial Vehicle for Railroad Health Applications
Railroad tracks require consistent and periodic monitoring to ensure safety and reliability. Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) have great potential because they are not constrained to the track, allowing trains to continue running while the UAV is inspecting. Also, they can be quickly deployed …

Application of Multifunctional Doppler LIDAR for Non-contact Track Speed, Distance, and Curvature Assessment
… operators to locate track sections of interest. Railroad curves, using an IMU to measure curvature, are monitored to maintain track infrastructure within regulations. Speed measured with high accuracy leads to high-fidelity distance and curvature data through utilization of processor clock rate …
