摘要:
Die Erfindung betrifft eine Vorrichtung zum Prüfen von Bahnschienen oder bahntechnischen Fahrbahnkomponenten durch Verwendung eines Linearprüfstandes mit einem Radprofil. Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, eine Vorrichtung zu schaffen, mit der der Rollkontakt an echten Schienenstücken auch an einem Linearprüfstand nachgebildet werden kann, wobei reale Kräfte und weit gehend reale Skalierungen eingesetzt werden. Insbesondere sollen Rollkontaktermüdung und -verschleiß an der Fahrkante realistisch nachgebildet werden. Dies wird erfindungsgemäß dadurch erreicht, dass das auf der Bahnschiene oder bahntechnischen Fahrbahnkomponente (1) aufgesetzte Eisenbahnrad (3) an seiner Peripherie ein symmetrisches Radprofil (4) aufweist, das aus zwei zueinander spiegelbildlichen Teilen (6) und (7) eines regulären, bahntypischen Radprofils zusammengesetzt ist und das an seinen Außenseiten beidseitig jeweils einen Spurkranz (5) besitzt.

The twist of a railway track (36) can be measured with a vehicle which includes a frame (25). This frame (25) carries a roll sensor (40) to measure the rate of roll (w) about a longitudinal axis, and sensors (38) to monitor the variations in the relative tilt between the frame (25) and the rails (35). The signals from these sensors (38) and (40) enable the changes in cant (Δc) between one instant and the next to be determined, and so the twist of the track can be calculated by summing successive changes in cant. This method of determining twist can operate at substantially any vehicle speed, and gives consistent measurements in real-time.

The invention concerns a method for correcting height defects (y-), which consists in lifting a track by superelevation (y+), above a final ideal position (X) and tamping same, thereby enabling a temporary ideal position (X v ) to be obtained. Then with a view to stabilizing the track, the ballast bed of the track (2) is subjected to a different compaction to obtain finally, the desired ideal position (X). It is thus possible to prevent the track from returning to the previous defective position.

There is provided a vision system and a method for scanning a traveling surface such a road to detect surface defects thereof such as cracks. The vision system, which is mountable on a vehicle, is provided with a linear imaging system for imaging successive adjacent transversal linear portions of the traveling surface as the vehicle advances. The vision system is also provided with laser line projecting means angularly projecting a laser line onto the transversal linear portion of the traveling surface to be imaged in a substantially coplanar relationship with the linear imaging system. The present vision system is particularly devised to be immune to surrounding light conditions variations to provide optimum cracks image contrast for both transverse and longitudinal cracks.

摘要:
A rail sensing and analysis system utilizes a laser sensor 105, 107 to detect displacement of a rail 102, 104 resulting from loads imposed by a passing rail vehicle. Vertical and/or lateral displacements/loads may be sensed. Signatures in the resulting signals are indicative of useful information about the rail vehicle; such as wheel condition, bearing condition, truck condition, degree of bogie hunting, total load, load distribution, etc. The ratio of Lateral over Vertical force (L/V) may be used as an evaluation criterion.
摘要:
The invention relates to a method for measuring tracks in relation to a measuring plan of the track which contains the actual position of the track, in relation to an absolute coordinate system. A measuring platform (2) is guided along the track (1), whereon an inertia platform (6) is arranged, which is initialised, respectively, calibrated to the beginning of the measurement and is aligned in relation to the coordinate system. The inertia platform (6) detects the respective positions of the measuring platform (2) in relation to the coordinate system during the journey of the measuring platform (2). Positional data of the inertia platform (6) is periodically examined based on fixed points (9; 9') which are arranged in the vicinity of the track and deviations in relation to the coordinate system are corrected by novel calibration, respectively, alignment.
摘要:
The invention relates to a method for measuring unevenness created by grooves or long waves in the surface of an object, especially the travelling surface (111) of rails (111), from a measuring platform (13). The inventive measuring process occurs without contact, is largely unaffected by the relative movement of the measuring platform (13) and the object, and delivers good measuring results irrespective of the speed of the relative movement. According to the invention, a streak of light (19) is projected from the measuring platform (13) onto the surface, extending in the direction of movement. The angle of projection of said streak of light is fixed in relation to the surface normal. The streak of light (19) is represented by a plurality of successive instantaneous exposures on a photo-receiver (18) in such a way that the plurality of light streak images covers the surface along the rail in the direction of movement, at least without any gaps. Said photo-receiver (18) is arranged in a fixed position on the measuring platform (13), the exposure angle being tilted in relation to the angle of projection, and is sensitive to position to a large extent. The longitudinal profile of the surface in the direction of movement is then determined from the deformations in the plurality of light-streak images.
