Due to the effects of partial foundation deformation, rainwater, cyclic temperature gradient, etc., vertical relative deformation, vertical absolute deformation, and lateral tilt may occur in each layer of the ballastless track.

Therefore, many scholars have carried out theoretical, simulation, and experimental studies on the deformation transfer law of the track structural layer, but the research often lacks the support and verification of measured data. Therefore, it is necessary and valuable to carry out the detection of the vertical relative deformation, vertical absolute deformation, and lateral tilt degree of the ballastless track structural layer.
