Dynamic track stabilization (DTS) is essential for maintaining ballast beds and improving track stability. However, accurately identifying the “stable/unstable” states of the ballast bed during operation remains challenging, and traditional offline inspections can cause significant delays. To address this, this study proposes a ballast bed state recognition method utilizing a residual neural network (ResNet). It uses sleeper lateral acceleration signals as input, preprocesses them with Finite Impulse Response (FIR) band-pass filtering, and creates time–frequency image features through the Transient Extraction Transform (TET). These features are then combined with ballast compaction and stabilization parameters. The model employs a shared encoder and uses a combined weighted multi-task loss function. This loss function merges the classification cross-entropy with the settlement and lateral resistance regression losses, and applies dynamic weighting based on the GradNorm technique. This approach balances multi-task training and enhances the model’s robustness under different operational conditions. A total of 864 samples (605/173/86 for training/validation/test) are used for model training and evaluation. Results show that the ResNet18 model achieves 96.71% accuracy on the validation set, and the binary classification accuracy on the test set exceeds 98%, as shown by the confusion matrix. Compared to DenseNet201, training time is reduced by 77.26% under the same conditions, leading to a 340.9% increase in training efficiency. A field engineering case further demonstrates that the proposed model can accurately identify ballast bed states during DTS, with recognition results consistent with engineering criteria, indicating strong potential for practical application.
