Journal Paper: Geotechnical Slope Stability and Rockfall Debris Related Safety Assessments of Rock Cuts Adjacent to a Rail Track Using Aerial Photogrammetry Data Analysis

Posted on August 4, 2021 by amitgajurel

Do you know, with 140,000 route miles, the freight rail network in the United States is widely considered the largest, safest, and most cost-efficient freight system in the world. It is necessary to monitor the rail corridors frequently to maintain safe operating conditions.

Our research group is using cutting-edge sensors to monitor the rail corridors. Dr. Surya Sarat Chandra C used Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) for conducting safety assessments of rail corridors located in remote areas. If you are interested in the research, check out our recently published article:
