This project is an analysis of the rail flaw data for the Transportation Technology Center Inc. (TTCI). Six major railroads provided TTCI with defective rail, that had been removed from service. The rail, which contained a variety of defects, was placed into a gauntlet track at the Transportation Technology Center (TTC). The guantlet track is known as the Railflaw Detection Test Facility (RDTF) and is a railroad industry tool, in cooperation with the Federal Railroad Administration (FRA), to evaluate rail flaw detection technology, TTCI inspected the rail, catalogued the defects, and installed the rail in the RDTF. There are 49 defects for each inspection vehicle evaluation. To date, there have been six evaluations performed at the RDTF. This paper is the assessment of those six evaluations.
