Abstract
As fuel costs continue to rise, efficient public transport, especially rail will play an increasingly important role in the UK and worldwide. For the safe operation of the rail system, it is necessary that the condition of the rails can be monitored on a continual basis. An important part of this monitoring process is crack detection. Much research effort has been spent in the development of reliable, repeatable crack detection methods for the use on the service rail. In this research a new crack detection method has been investigated which utilizes microwave sensors to inspect the rail surface. Initial data from experiment are presented.
