The ballast infringement report lists infringements that have been detected on the ballast profile. In addition to geolocating the infringement, that is common to other reports, the report will have details on the estimated infringement such as the track and the part of the ballast it is detected on, the size of the infringement and the quartiles to which it infringes.

Infringements that are not severe enough (e.g. if only able to be described as NillHeightNillWidth) will be omitted unless they occur over a continuously long enough span (a pre-configured length of e.g. 20 m).

Infringements sufficiently severe will report at shorter depths at which they are seen.
