RAILWAY TRACK CONDITION MONITORING
Increasing speed in a railway track requires com-
prehensive study and measures to precisely de-
termine wheel-rail interaction. The curves and
derailment issues are a great concern.
For maintenance purposes it is common to use
measuring machine which requires the track to
be temporarily out of service and are often too
slow. Local defects which needs to be confirmed
using visual inspection, has a risk of human error
factor.
MEASUREMENT WHEEL
An innovative low-cost solution for diagnostic/
prognostic monitoring of wheels-rails interaction
in railway industry without causing any delay in
network traffic. A wheelset equipped with sen-
sors
Best solutions for rolling stock/track owners to
reduce their maintenance cost due to track de-
fects and unwanted train derailments.
Economic advantages are stated as below:
• Significant decrease in regular wheel inspec-
tion costs and time.
• Significant decrease in human resources re-
lated cost.
• Significant decrease in vehicles cost particu-
larly bogies.
• Ease of decision making on maintenance
strategies.
• online report over passage of the train to
train owner.
ADVANTAGES
• Track local defects detection.
• Track irregularities assessment
