ANR ULTRATRAIL (2025-2029)

ULTRATRAIL : ULTRAsonic Testing of RAIL foot

Scientific Axe : Inspection of elongated structures

Funding : ANR (PRCE).

Summary

The condition of rail infrastructure is of major concern in transportation and users’ safety. The ULTRATRAIL objectives are to overcome the limitations of the conventional practice by proposing a feasibility analysis based on novel ultrasonic imaging tools to detect and locate defects in rails, in particular deep buried defects, under only one-sided access illumination/observation conditions along the rail running surface.
