ON THE TEST OF A DEVICE FOR THE MEASUREMENT OF STATIC IMBALANCE OF WHEEL LOAD AS A PART OF AUTOMATED ARRIVAL INSPECTION SYSTEM IN FREIGHT CAR YARD

Described is a method for detecting the variation in wheel loads on cars moving into a yard at speeds higher than the regular weighing-in-motion scales used on the Japanese National Railways. The on-line system is aimed at being a part of an inspection station where hot boxes and worn wheels would also be measured automatically. The results with this automatic freight car inspection system are to be collated in a process computer.
