DESIGN OF TRACK INSPECTION CAR

An efficient method of detecting the defects of track is desired. A new track inspection car has already been reported. It registers the following values during high-speed runs (up to 100 km/h), being equipped with an electronic data processing machine: (1) curvature (right rail), (2) curvature (left rail), (3) unevenness (right rail), (4) unevenness (left rail), (5) width of gauge, (6) superelevation, (7) twist of the track, (8) rolling of the body, (9) vertical acceleration of the body, (10) horizontal acceleration of the body.
