Inter-rater reliability in determining the types of vegetation on railway trackbeds (2015)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Nyberg, R. G., Yella, S., Gupta, N. K., & Dougherty, M. (2015, November). Inter-rater reliability in determining the types of vegetation on railway trackbeds. Presented at International Conference on Web Information Systems Engineering, Springer International Publishing

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.

Reliability of manual assessments in determining the types of vegetation on railway tracks (2015)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Nyberg, R. G., Yella, S., Gupta, N. K., & Dougherty, M. (2015, November). Reliability of manual assessments in determining the types of vegetation on railway tracks. Presented at Web Information Systems Engineering – WISE 2015, Miami, FL, USA

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...
