      <title>APPLICATION OF IMAGE PROCESSING FOR RAILWAYS</title>
      <link>https://trid.trb.org/View/300806</link>
      <description><![CDATA[A hardware and a software technique associated with image processing are making rapid progress recently.  Owing to such advanced technology, the possibilities of realizing an application system are now increasing.  In this paper, we cite several applications of image processing being much in need for railway fields, such as a visual sensor system which monitors ground facilities of railways instead of the inspector, an image measurement for the inspection of facilities which measure the wheel tread profile or the rail gap or the wiring abrasion, a monitoring system of human movement which monitors the passengers at the platform or the terminal for the purpose of keeping them safe and offering good or quick services, and so on.]]></description>

      <title>WHEEL TREAD PROFILE AS A RAIL VEHICLE DESIGN PARAMETER</title>
      <link>https://trid.trb.org/View/205748</link>
      <description><![CDATA[Rail vehicle running gear must satisfy conflicting requirements for good response and stability on tangent (straight) track and good guidance in curves.  A frequently overlooked characteristic, the wheel tread profile, can be designed in conjunction with the vehicle suspension to meet those objectives.  The dynamic performance of vehicles with low, moderate and high conicity wheel profiles is reported.  Design charts for stability and curving are utilized to finind optimum primary suspension values to accompany each wheel profile. The results demonstrate that high conicity wheel profiles offer significant overall performance advantages over low conicity wheel profiles.  However, the truck primary suspension must be designed to match the wheel profile in order to realize the potential improvement.]]></description>
