Summary
The axle bearing damage process has safety and economic implications on the
exploitation of railways systems. Therefore it has been the object of intense attention
by railway operators and transportation authorities, leading to a variety of
approaches and systems currently in place to deal with the problem. The MAXBE
project, an EU-funded project, is addressing these issues. Its strategic objective is to
provide validated and demonstrated concepts, strategies and guidelines for the
interoperable axle bearing monitoring and diagnosis that supports the railway
operators and managers dealing with the threats imposed by the existence of axle
bearing defects. In this paper, a review of the current systems and methodologies for
axle bearings condition monitoring given. Then, the main technical aspects of the
on-going MAXBE project are presented to the scientific community and to the
interested stakeholders to promote further the advancement of axle bearing condition
monitoring technology.
