New Approach of Railway Roadbed State Monitoring Using Broadband Seismometers

The first results of full-scale seismic modeling of a railway roadbed state inspection in areas with complex climatic and geological conditions (Severnaya Railway of the Russian Federation) are presented. Our results demonstrate the fundamental possibility using broadband seismic sensors installed along the railway roadbed to monitor its state continuously. The method is a passive one because it uses train vibrations for roadbed testing. Seismic monitoring parameters show roadbed deterioration, e.g., flooding, ground thawing, etc. An advantage of the proposed approach compared to the other geophysical methods is the possibility of identifying problem areas at the early stage, as well as real-time monitoring of their state and rapid information transmission to a central communication hub.
