Smartphone’s Sensing Capabilities for On-Board Railway Track Monitoring: Structural Performance and Geometrical Degradation Assessment by André Paixão, Eduardo Fortunato, Rui Calçada

“…Cross-correlation values above 0.85 were obtained between the standard deviations of the longitudinal level and the experimental vertical accelerations measured on-board a passenger train on an 11-km railway stretch. The results showed that the approach can be used to identify critical situations that affect the performance of the track, regarding passenger comfort, degradation rates, and risk of derailment. …”

Сurrent status and BAM’s development prospects by M. S. Simagutina

“…In the longer term, it is necessary to reduce the transport costs of the national economy, ensure the accessibility of transport to entities, increase the competitiveness of transport services and solve the systemic problem of increasing the speed of freight and passenger trains. In recent years Russia has been discussing the development of the Baikal-Amur Mainline, which in Soviet times was a grandiose construction project of the era and an embodiment of the country’s power. …”
