Various railway operators are advancing the use of on-board cameras and other methods to streamline track inspections. While methods involving cameras mounted under the floor to capture track materials have been implemented in other companies, there has not been one that can handle high-speed travel of over 200 km/h. Recently, we have developed a Track Material Monitoring System that can be installed on Shinkansen vehicles. A prototype will be manufactured in 2023 and installed on the Series N700S Shinkansen for running tests. In this article, we introduce the overview of the developed system and discuss the utilization of measurement data obtained from the tests.
