USING NEW TECHNIQUES TO TRACE VEHICLE DEFECTS

MIT NEUEN TECHNOLOGIEN DEN FAHRZEUGFEHLERN AUF DER SPUR

"Hamburg-Consult", consultants for Hamburg's Hochbahn AG (overhead railway) have developed prototype computer-based equipment for detecting vehicle defects called the BEFUND system. This device can be used for underground and urban transport systems as well as for buses, it checks vehicles constantly while they are actually in operation. As transport systems become more and more automated, it will be possible to use the BEFUND system for organizational and maintenance purposes as well.
