“…Ng and Martua [30] further modeled and predicted rail-corrugation growth for four different track configurations (different rail metallurgy, sleeper distance, and track system). Through 3D finite-element modeling and signal processing, the results showed that rail corrugation increases exponentially with time, with ballast track and head-hardening track with sleeper spacing of 700 mm showing the slowest corrugation growth.…”

Rail corrugation is a serious problem in a railway transportation system, aggravating the operational risk and shortening the lifetime of train–track system. In order to ensure the safety and reliability of the railway system, the detection of rail corrugation is very important. Thus, this study systematically summarizes the recent research progress of rail corrugation. First, this study introduces the definition of rail corrugation and the classification criteria. Then, the formation mechanism of rail corrugation is analyzed in detail, and its adverse consequences are investigated. Further, this study summarizes several main detection methods, which are corrugation-detection methods based on acceleration measurements, wavelet transform methods for corrugation evaluation, computer-vision-based methods for corrugation automatic detection, digital filtering algorithms for rail corrugation detection, and others. In this study, the formation mechanism and detection methods of rail corrugation are systematically described, and various corrugation-detection methods are also introduced in detail. This study not only provides a scientific basis for railway maintenance, but also lays a solid foundation for future experimental design and data analysis. This study can also guide engineering practice to improve the reliability and safety of railway systems. It also provides useful experience for future railway-engineering design and planning, as well as safer and more reliable operation. In general, this study can provide technical support for the detection of rail corrugation to ensure the safety of the rail–track system.
