Intelligent wheelsets for the trains of the future. The role of in-service wheel-rail force measurement // Sale montate intelligenti per il treno del futuro. Il ruolo della misura in esercizio delle forze ruota-rotaia
Summary-The European rail sector has a strong interest in innovations for monitoring the operational condition of a running vehicle. Many high technology systems can lead up to future rail systems relying on “intelligent vehicles”. This document describes the conceptual development of a monitoring system based on FEM calculations. The system uses signals from wheel-fitted transducers.
