Abstract
Maintenance of the quality of the railway track is crucial forthe safety and comfort of passengers on high-speed trains. We believe itis possible to detect deterioration of the track by constant monitoringthe dynamic vehicle response to track features. Our project is workedout in close cooperation with Deutsche Bahn AG (German Rail).
