Detection of damaged supports under railway track based on frequency shift by Wang, Longqi, Zhang, Yao, Lie, Seng Tjhen

“…The ballast and fasteners which provide strong support to the railway track are important as well whereas the detection of loose or missing fasteners and damaged ballast mainly relies on visual inspection. Although it is reliable when the fastener is missing and the damaged ballast is on the surface, it provides less help if the fastener is only loose and the damaged ballast is under the sleepers, which are however frequently observed in practice. …”
