Tóm tắt

Wayside detection monitors critical parameters relating to the condition of in-service railway vehicles. Economic decisions about the maintenance of vehicles can be made, and servicing can occur when a particular vehicle is likely to cause even small amounts of damage to the track, to itself, or when the cost of damage is significant, such as in catastrophic failure. Vehicles with poorly performing axle bearings, out-of-round (skidded or spalled) wheels, vehicles which exhibit transient lateral motion (‘hunting’), and vehicles with poorly performing brakes are all likely to fall into the category of requiring maintenance, in order to save the track and the vehicle owner's money. In the present paper, the parameters that define vehicle condition and their measurable effects are stated. There are frequently a number of wayside detection methods of inspecting a vehicle for the same vehicle condition and each of these is described in detail. This investigation reveals the need for further research to enable rollingstock owners to make better decisions about the cost of operating their vehicles, based on the output from wayside detectors and the observed trends in wheel impact.
