Abstract:Recent derailment accident that happened in East Palestine, Ohio has drawn huge public attention to railroad system safety. While this accident is under investigation, one of the major contributions to many other derailment accidents is the precast concrete crossties abrasion damage. Concrete crossties can lose concrete sections on portions of the tie bottom and sides during service. Identifying the abrasion damage of precast concrete crossties is critical to extend the railroad service life and prevent potential derailment. This project is a collaboration among Purdue University, Louisiana State University, Rocla Concrete Tie, and CSX. The ultimate goal of this research is to develop mitigation measures to reduce concrete railroad tie section loss at the ballast interface based on expected service life. As a first step to achieve this goal, this project develops a photogrammetry and LiDAR scanning-based precast concrete crossties abrasion damage detection system. This poster presentation was presented at TRANS-IPIC's September Workshop Webinar in September 2024.
