1. Background
1.1 The significance and trend of W/R force measurement
1.2 Further needs from railroad industry
2. Progress in wayside W/R force measurement
2.1 From discontinuous to fully continuous
2.2 Benefit of full-continuous technology
3. Discussion, why people make these decisions
3.1 Typical WILD (salient system): discontinuous or continuous
3.2 North America railroad: strain gauge-based or accelerometer-based
3.3 China Railway: which one can meet the needs
4. New WILD verification
4.1 W/R force-based validation: the practice, issues, and challenges
4.2 Performance-based comparison
4.3 Reference device + big data analysis
5. Conclusions
