A peak detection algorithm adopting magnetic sensor signal for rail spike location in tamping machine

When a tamping machine is tamping track ballasts under railway, it is necessary to determine the tamping positions in advance. This study proposes a peak detection algorithm to locate rail spikes with magnetic sensor signals, and then determine the tamping positions. In this algorithm, we have perfo...
