Annotation of standard text UIC Harmotrack2-1ed. :

The purpose of this technical report is to discuss the potential methods of using the acceleration data measured from a rail vehicle to detect and/or characterise short discontinuities in the rail and any rail degradation. The document outlines findings from a literature review conducted by the working group and presents the current situation and potential ways to use acceleration for short rail defects.
