The proper assessment of railroad condition requires the consideration of a number of factors. Some factors, such as the condition of the ties, can be measured by inspecting features visible from the surface of the railway. Other factors, such as the condition of the ballast, require subsurface measurements. Extensive human resources are currently applied to the problem of evaluating railroad health. Here we present the results of a study in automatic railroad classification that combines surface and subsurface measurements to characterize the railroad condition. To obtain surface measurements, we generate a 3-D profile of the railroad surface with a vision system that employs a laser light stripe. Subsurface measurements were made using ground penetrating radar (GPR). Principal component analysis was used to reduce the dimension of the raw data. Classifiers were trained on the resulting data using both memory based and Bayesian methods. The results are presented.
