Progress in Health Monitoring Research on Railway System

The railway in Korea has been one of important transportation means as the introduction of high-speed train and progress in subway systems. Also, as increases in the speed of train, the guarantee of safety becomes more important, especially, in the fields of railway vehicles and/or facilities. The structural health evaluation for the prevention and diagnosis of the accidents could be conducted using several types of nondestructive evaluation techniques such as ultrasonic developed using infrared thermography or optic fiber sensors. In this paper, the recent progress in structural health evaluation for railway systems has been introduced, and the case studies have been discussed.
