Wayside Train Monitoring Systems: a State-Of-The-Art and Running Safety Implications
International Journal of Railway Technology Volume 1, Issue 1, Pages 231-247, 2012. doi:10.4203/ijr t.1.1.11 ©Saxe-Coburg Publications, 2012 Wayside Train Monitoring Systems: A State-of-the-Art and Running Safety Implications A. Bracciali Dipartimento di Meccanica e Tecnologie Industriali Università degli Studi di Firenze, Italy Abstract The appearance of railway undertakings in Europe led to an enormous increase in rolling stock operators: mainly in the freight sector. To keep these vehicles under control, and to limit as much as possible the consequences of accidents arising from failures, fires, exceeded gauge, etc., it is necessary to consider the possibility (and the need) to check rolling stock conditions from stationary measuring equipment, i.e. at wayside train monitoring systems (WTMS). After the analysis of the literature on railway accidents, this paper aims to classifying safety-related and maintenance- related train-environment interactions, discussing the implications and the capabilities of existing WTMS systems. Keywords: railways, rolling stock, wayside monitoring, accidents, safety, review. 1 Introduction Safety, regularity and cost effectiveness have been mandatory requirements of railways since they were first invented. It is not surprising that the three mentioned characteristics, in the above mentioned order, were at the basis of all regulations and training every railway system around the world. Today we face a world that has dramatically changed in the last two decades. In Europe: after the Maastricht agreement, the free circulation of people and goods have become (or should have become) a reality that completely changed the approach to national railways as we used to consider them. -

Measurement of Railway Track Geometry: a State-Of-The-Art Review
https://doi.org/10.3311/PPtr.14145 76|Creative Commons Attribution b Periodica Polytechnica Transportation Engineering, 48(1), pp. 76–88, 2020 Measurement of Railway Track Geometry: A State-of-the-Art Review András Farkas1* 1 Institute of Entrepreneurship Development, Óbuda University, 1084 Budapest, Tavaszmező u. 15-17, Hungary * Corresponding author, e-mail: [email protected] Received: 04 April 2019, Accepted: 13 May 2019, Published online: 22 October 2019 Abstract The worldwide increase in frequency of traffic for passenger trains and the rise of freight trains over the recent years necessitate the more intense deployment of track monitoring and rail inspection procedures. The wheel-rail contact forces, induced by the static axle loads of the vehicle and the dynamic effects of ground-borne vibration coming from the track superstructure, have been a significant factor contributing to the degradation of the railway track system. Measurements of track irregularities have been applied since the early days of railway engineering to reveal the current condition and quality of railway lines. Track geometry is a term used to collectively refer to the measurable parameters including the faults of railway tracks and rails. This paper is aiming to review the characteristics of compact inertial measurement systems (IMUs), their components, installation, the basic measures of the quality of the track using motion sensors, like accelerometers, gyroscopes and other sensing devices mounted on different places of the vehicle. Additionally, the paper briefly discusses the fundamentals of inertial navigation, the kinematics of the translational and rotational train motions to obtain orientation, velocity and position information. -
