Computer vision can be used to classify sun kinks at speed from a train-mounted sensor. The GPS-triangulated sun kink data can then be used to dispatch repair teams to the appropriate location preventing derailments in the process. This has been studied academically and commercially in the US for a few years, at least. I'm not aware of a commercial deployment, but it may be in progress given the published R&D. For instance: https://arxiv.org/pdf/1802.01286.pdf From the paper: "Sun kink classifier could classify professionally simulated sun kink videos with a precision of 97.5%."
