Guo, Y. (author), Wang, Shilei (author), Jing, Guoqing (author), Yang, Fei (author), Liu, Guixian (author), Qiang, Weile (author), Wang, Yan (author)Ballast layer condition should be more regularly and accurately inspected to ensure safe train operation; however, traditional inspection methods cannot sufficiently fulfil this task. This paper presents a method of ground penetrating radar (GPR) application to reflect ballast layer fouling levels under diverse field conditions (annual gross...journal article 2022

Guo, Y. (author), Liu, Guixian (author), Jing, Guoqing (author), Qu, Jianjun (author), Wang, Shilei (author), Qiang, Weile (author)Ground penetrating radar (GPR) has been applied for ballast layer inspection for two decades, mainly for the analysis of ballast layer fouling levels. However, some issues that affect the inspection quality remain unsolved, such as issues involving the GPR equipment quality (antenna) and the correlation between the GPR indicator and fouling...journal article 2022
