PRESSURE MEASUREMENT AT THE BALLAST-TIE INTERFACE OF RAILROAD TRACK USING MATRIX BASED TACTILE SURFACE SENSORS

PRESSURE MEASUREMENT AT THE BALLAST-TIE INTERFACE OF RAILROAD TRACK USING MATRIX BASED TACTILE SURFACE SENSORS

The pressure distribution at the ballast-tie interface of railroad track plays a key role in overall track support. Failure of the ballast or tie can result from excessive loads that were not designed for, requiring increased maintenance and reducing railroad operating efficiency. Understanding the...
