Foreign objects in the ballast bed and track substructure, such as munition remnants, can significantly restrict or delay maintenance work. Metal detectors, magnetometers, and conventional GPR systems cannot reliably detect objects in the track bed. Thanks to multichannel GPR technology with increased scanning density, a tomographic analysis of the track is possible and, by extension, localisation is much better.
This is why Ground Control recently initiated a technology partnership with Plasser & Theurer. Using live radar data, it would be possible to control a machine’s working output on the basis of the subsoil conditions and to automate work processes in future. Such applications have great potential for increasing efficiency and cost-effectiveness. Given the rapid progress in measuring technology and analysis technology, these systems will soon become reality.
