Abstract :
Condition based monitoring system can be used to determine how and why there were defects in rail profile. Such system helps in identifying trends for effective and efficient condition monitoring of rail profile. One such way is an in depth by information analysis of rail profile parameters by correlation analysis thus finding significant correlations among various parameters of Rail Profile. Such analysis will help in understanding behaviour of rail profile parameters in more detail and leads to significant rail track maintenance productivity gains. Besides it, interpretation of correlations reconciles theoretical correlations with the practical experimental results. The results of such research has the potential to bring benefits in terms of lower operating costs for rail infrastructure users, as well as improved transit times and reliability of train arrivals.
