Summary
The authors have perfected a sensing system able to monitor the derailment
coefficient Y/Q continuously as the result of a joint research of academic institutes,
manufacturers and a railway operator. Trains fitted with this system are now in
service on 3 lines of the Tokyo metro network. This measuring method uses a
couple of non-contact gap sensors on the bogie flame, instead of many strain gauges
on rotating wheels in conventional systems. Data is collected from the systems.
Analyses of the characteristics of a Y/Q increase in curving are carried out, and
reported in this paper.
