MEASUREMENTS AND THEIR ANALYSIS IN RAILWAY TECHNOLOGY. (5TH INTERNATIONAL COLLOQUIUM OF ORE/BVFA ON RAILWAY VEHICLE TECHNOLOGY, HELD AT VIENNA, AUSTRIA FROM 6TH TO 8TH MAY, 1969)

Report on the 5th International Colloquium on railway vehicle technology held in May 1969 and jointly organised by ORE and the Vienna Arsenal Vehicle Testing Station. The special theme chosen for the meeting was "Measurements and their analysis in railway technology". The report gives a summary of the discussions and contains, in the appendices, the complete texts of the papers delivered and of the important technical contributions. The main subjects treated were: problems connected with the use of strain- gauges, new methods of evaluating experimental results (statistical methods and automatic processing), the application of these methods to special cases (riding quality of vehicles, railway bogie dynamics, geometric condition of the track) and certain specific problems relating to the organisation of the research work and the simulation in the laboratory of given experimental conditions. A survey table of the measuring technique used during the ORE studies in appended to the report.
