Abstract: In some embodiments, a method for determining railroad track locations at risk for buckling includes accessing railroad track data and segmenting a railroad track into a plurality of railroad track segments. The method further includes determining, from the railroad track data, a plurality of track features for each particular railroad track segment. The method further includes determining a priority level for each particular railroad track segment. The priority level indicates a track buckling risk severity for the particular railroad track segment. The priority level is determined using the determined plurality of track features for the particular railroad track segment and a particular rule weight matrix that includes a set of track features and an associated risk weight for each track feature of the set of track features. The method further includes displaying the determined priority levels for the plurality of track segments on an electronic display.
