Degradation and subsequent failure of rail tracks are commonly caused by rolling contact fatigue among other mechanisms of wear. Rail crossings are known to exhibit more of these failures due to increased localised traffic and environmental conditions. A high proportion of the costs associated with the repair of rail…
