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