INSTRUMENTATION FOR DATA COLLECTION ON A REVENUE FREIGHT TRAIN
Instrumentation systems for the measurement of railroad vehicle dynamics must be designed to survive the extreme environmental conditions to which they will be exposed. This paper describes the rigorous railroad environment and some of the techniques used to cope with it. Careful attention to the environmental constraints and precisely planned testing procedures will significantly increase the probability of a successful field test.
