Currently, rail surface defects are increasing due to the aging of urban railway rails, but in the detailed guidelines for track performance evaluation established by the country, rail surface damage is inspected with the naked eye of an engineer and with simple measuring tools. It is very important to discover defects in the rail surface through periodic track tours and visual inspection. However, evaluating the severity of defects on the rail surface based on the subjective judgment of the inspector has significant limitations in predicting damage inside the rail. In this study, the characteristics of cracks inside the rail due to rail surface damage were studied. In field measurements, rail surface damage was selected, old rail samples were collected in the acceleration and braking sections, and a scanning electron microscope (SEM) was used to evaluate the rail surface damage was used to analyze the crack characteristics. As a result of the analysis, the crack mechanism caused by the running train and the crack characteristics of the acceleration section where cracks occur at an angle rising toward the rail surface were experimentally proven.

The study is about the efficient alternative to concrete surface in the field of visual inspection technology for deteriorated infrastructure. By combining industrial drones and deep learning based image analysis techniques with traditional visual inspection and research, we tried to reduce manpowers, time requirements and costs, and to overcome the height and dome structures. On board device mounted on drones is consisting of a high resolution camera for detecting cracks of more than 0.3 mm, a lidar sensor and a embeded image processor module. It was mounted on an industrial drones, took sample images of damage from the site specimen through automatic flight navigation. In addition, the damege parts of the site specimen was used to measure not only the width and length of cracks but white rust also, and tried up compare them with the final image analysis detected results. Using the image analysis techniques, the damages of 54ea sample images were analyzed by the segmentation - feature extraction - decision making process, and extracted the analysis parameters using supervised mode of the deep learning platform. The image analysis of newly added non-supervised 60ea image samples was performed based on the extracted parameters. The result presented in 90.5 % of the damage detection rate.

Purpose: In this study, various methods of deep learning-based automatic damage analysis technology were reviewed based on images taken through Unmanned Aerial Vehicle to more efficiently and reliably inspect the exterior inspection and inspection of railway bridges using Unmanned Aerial Vehicle. Method: A deep learning analysis model was created by defining damage items based on the acquired images and extracting deep learning data. In addition, the model that learned the damage images for cracks, concrete and paint scaling·spalling, leakage, and Reinforcement exposure among damage of railway bridges was applied and tested with the results of automatic damage analysis. Result: As a result of the analysis, a method with an average detection recall of 95% or more was confirmed. This analysis technology enables more objective and accurate damage detection compared to the existing visual inspection results. Conclusion: through the developed technology in this study, it is expected that it will be possible to analysis more accurate results, shorter time and reduce costs by using the automatic damage analysis technology using Unmanned Aerial Vehicle in railway maintenance.

A special offshore bridge with a high pylon has special structural features.Special offshore bridges have inspection blind spots that are difficult to visually inspect. To solve this problem, safety inspection methods using drones are being studied. In this study, image data of the pylon of a special offshore bridge was acquired using a drone. In addition, an artificial intelligence algorithm was developed to detect damage to the pylon surface. The AI algorithm utilized a deep learning network with different structures. The algorithm applied the stacking ensemble learning method to build a model that formed the ensemble and collect the results.

In this study, rail surface defects are increasing due to the aging of urban railway rails, but in the detailed guidelines for track performance evaluation established by the country, rail surface damage is inspected with the naked eye of engineers and simple measuring tools. With the recent enactment of the Track Diagnosis Act, a large budget has been invested and the volume of rail diagnosis is rapidly increasing, but it is difficult to secure the reliability of diagnosis results using labor-intensive visual inspection techniques. It is very important to discover defects in the rail surface through periodic track tours and visual inspection. However, evaluating the severity of defects on the rail surface based on the subjective judgment of the inspector has significant limitations in predicting damage inside the rail. In this study, the rail internal crack characteristics due to rail surface damage were studied. In field measurements, rail surface damage locations were selected, samples of various damage types were collected, and the rail surface damage status was evaluated. In indoor testing, we intend to analyze the correlation between rail surface defects and internal defects using a electron scanning microscope (SEM). To determine the crack growth rate of urban railway rails currently in use, the Gaussian probability density function was applied and analyzed.

The cracks in the tunnel are currently determined through visual inspections conducted by inspectors based on images acquired using tunnel imaging acquisition systems. This labor-intensive approach, relying on inspectors, has inherent limitations as it is subject to their subjective judgments. Recently research efforts have actively explored the use of deep learning to automatically detect tunnel cracks. However, most studies utilize public datasets or lack sufficient objectivity in the analysis process, making it challenging to apply them effectively in practical operations. In this study, we selected test datasets consisting of images in the same format as those obtained from the actual inspection system to perform an objective evaluation of deep learning models. Additionally, we introduced ensemble techniques to complement the strengths and weaknesses of the deep learning models, thereby improving the accuracy of crack detection. As a result, we achieved high recall rates of 80%, 88%, and 89% for cracks with sizes of 0.2 mm, 0.3 mm, and 0.5 mm, respectively, in the test images. In addition, the crack detection result of deep learning included numerous cracks that the inspector could not find. if cracks are detected with sufficient accuracy in a more objective evaluation by selecting images from other tunnels that were not used in this study, it is judged that deep learning will be able to be introduced to facility safety inspection.

Owing to the changing climate and recent flood events, flood damage caused by river levee collapse and overflow is on the rise in Korea, making it necessary to enhance river levee maintenance technologies to deal with various flood damage scenarios. This paper proposes the evaluation system of a river-levee safety map to improve maintenance efficiency and disaster responsiveness. A river-levee safety map, indicating sliding, piping, visual inspection, scouring, and safety index of a levee fill material on a GIS map will enable the dangerous zone to be identified visually and the development of proactive measures to deal with it. This will maximize the river-levee maintenance efficiency, which is a break from traditional practice in that restoration measures are taken only after the damage has occurred. This study includes scouring and levee fill material in addition to previously-proposed sliding, piping and visual inspections. The research activities conducted in the study include 1) categorization of scouring and levee fill material based on document and data examination, 2) evaluation of sliding and piping at 5 locations on the left levee in the Nam river according to the duration time of the flood water level, and 3) evaluation of the characteristics of scouring and levee fill material at 9 locations on the left/right levee in the Nam River. The river levee safety map proposed in this study would be more useful and practical but further study on the manual for river management organization, repair and reinforcement methods, and budget is required.
