Abstract

Vehicle‐mounted detection methods have been widely applied in the maintenance of high‐speed railways (HSRs), providing feasibility for diagnosing ballastless track arching. However, applying detection data faces several key limitations: (1) The threshold mostly requires manual setting, making recogn...
