Vegetation growing on railway trackbeds and embankments can present several potential problems. Consequently, such vegetation is controlled through various maintenance procedures. In order to investigate the extent of maintenance needed, one of the f... Read More about Inter-rater reliability in determining the types of vegetation on railway trackbeds.

Current day vegetation assessments within railway maintenance are (to a large extent) carried out manually. This study has investigated the reliability of such manual assessments by taking three non-domain experts into account. Thirty-five track imag...
