A NEW METHOD TO DETECT THE DYNAMIC TRACK PLAY QUANTITIES ON RAIL VEHICLES (WHEEL POSITION MEASUREMENTS)

EINE NEUE METHODE ZUR ERFASSUNG DER DYNAMISCHEN SPURSPIELMESSGROESSEN AN SCHIENENFAHRZEUGEN (RADSTELLUNGSMESSUNG)

The method of measurement operates on the principle of representing the planes of reflection and reduces the task of detecting dynamic track play quantities to individual, independent photo-electronic displacement measurements. The measuring system uses infrared radiation and photo-detectors. The test results are fed to the recording equipment through the evaluating electronics. Initial tests under extreme weather conditions have meanwhile been successfully conducted on lines of Rhatische Bahn and Swiss Federal Railways.
