I agree .... with Daryo !
Daryo May 12, 2014:
As there are also automated systems for checking the state of rail tracks, you can't omit "à pied"

la norme, c'est à pied ... jusqu'ici :

"Des techniciens qui marchent le long des voies pour examiner les rails, les traverses et le ballast : l'inspection visuelle est encore la façon la plus courante de vérifier l'état des voies ferrées. Sans doute plus pour très longtemps car, à l'image de l'accident de Brétigny survenu l'an dernier, l'état des infrastructures est une des causes majeures d'accidents ferroviaires."

inspection à pied des voies

The ST looks like being about safety and security of a transport system
a "track walk" in that context would be qualified inspectors walking along the (railway) tracks and checking for any potential problem.

"... 2.5
Inspection à pied
a)
Une inspection à pied doit être effectuée sur toutes les voies à joints éclissés et voies à traverses de béton dont la courbure est de 4 degrés ou plus. ..."
