This paper is to describe the collection of vibration data on a train coach to see patterns of abnormalities along the way from Batu Gajah station to KL Sentral station. Focusing on designing a portable vibration system that can detect the deformation of railway track with good accuracy of accelerometers, and gyro sensors. Data collected from the system was analyzed where abnormalities are identified and compare relative to location of railway track. While the Direct-Cosine-Matrix (DCM) was applied to get the raw data from the Inertia Measurement Unit (IMU) sensor for both acceleration and tilt movement of the train.
