Machine learning approach for wheel flat detection of railway train wheels

Nowadays, monitoring the condition of railway infrastructure has become necessary and led railway companies to take advantage of artificial intelligence (AI) technologies to improve safety and reduce operating costs. This paper aims to present an unsupervised methodology to detect railway wheel flats. The automatic damage detection algorithm is based on the acceleration evaluated on the rails for the passage of traffic loads. The results of this research study show that only one sensor is enough to detect wheel flat automatically, which enables the development of a low-cost monitoring system that can be easily implemented in actual operating conditions.
