Expected Outcome
The system shall be able to inspect trackwork components, including rails, switches and crossings, rail fastenings and baseplate assemblies, and the track supporting structures. It shall also be able to check for rail foot corrosion and rail wear and immediately report on all sub-standard conditions requiring further actions.
